I am migrating from Tomcat 5.5.27 to 6.0.26. I found that an application I have running on 5.5.27 fails on 6.0.26 with the error: NoClassDefFoundError org/apache/commons/el/ExpressionEvaluatorImpl. I found that the class in question is located in commons-el.jar on 5.5.27 and that jar is missing from 6.0.26.
The application is using Spring 3.0.1 and it appears that has a dependency on org.apache.commons.el.ExpressionEvaluatorImpl. This is the stack trace I am seeing: nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/el/ExpressionEvaluatorImpl at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionValueResolver.resolveReference(BeanDefinitionValueResolver.java:328) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionValueResolver.resolveValueIfNecessary(BeanDefinitionValueResolver.java:106) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.applyPropertyValues(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1308) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.populateBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1067) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.doCreateBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:511) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.createBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:450) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory$2.getObject(AbstractBeanFactory.java:328) at org.springframework.web.context.request.AbstractRequestAttributesScope.get(AbstractRequestAttributesScope.java:43) at org.springframework.web.context.request.SessionScope.get(SessionScope.java:92) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.doGetBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:324) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:189) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionValueResolver.resolveReference(BeanDefinitionValueResolver.java:322) If I copy commons-el.jar into the lib folder, the application works just fine. Can you tell me the reason for removing commons-el.jar. Is there a better remedy to the NoClassDefFoundError problem other them copying the jar file from 5.5.27?
