Hi all, I am using apache ActiveMQ with the Spring framework.
Where we now trying to upgrade spring to 5.2 latest since its older releases reach the end of life. While upgrading spring, we got stuck with below exception. 2020-10-22 15:48:54,094 | ERROR | Failed to load: class path resource [activemq.xml], reason: Error creating bean with name 'statusService' defined in class path resource [activemq.xml]: Initialization of bean failed;

But don't know the impact of changing the dependency manually.* Can you please upgrade the spring? Raised same as ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-8058 *Thanks and Regards,* *Ragul*
