解决NoSuchMethodError with Spring MutableValues异常问题

今天下午项目启动时，遇到一个异常，导致无法启动：

　　在Google上查询基本确定，是以为项目中引用的某个Spring的jar包版本低于3.0导致的。然后找到问题pom文件spring/spring-config-****.xml，点开Dependency Hierarchy,依次检查改pom所引用的jar包，最终发现有个spring包是2.5.6版本，该spring包是在**-common-web包中引用的。

 

　　现在问题已经确定，接下来就是解除对此2.5.6版本spring包的依赖：

 

　　

添加<exclusions>标签，将其解除依赖：

<exclusions>
    <exclusion>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
</exclusions>        

　　保存，重新运行，大功告成。
