@13567436138 this looks like a good candidate for a corrupted jar to me. If you're using maven, please run mvn dependency:purge-local-repository and try to download the bits again. If that doesn't work, we'll need a sample we can run ourselves that reproduces the issue

[wilkinsona]

Either that or you have mismatched Spring Framework jar files on the class path. proxyBeanMethods is new in 5.2 and I can see 5.1.2.RELEASE in some elements of the stack.

[13567436138]

vn dependency:purge-local-repository not solve the problem

[snicoll]

As suggested by Andy, can you please make sure you don't have mixed jars on the classpath? mvn dependency:list -Dsort should show Spring Framework 5.2 (and not 5.1).

[13567436138]

yes,you are right,thanks

[wilkinsona]

Thanks for letting us know.

I am facing same issue. I changed my spring-boot dependency from 2.0.4.RELEASE to 2.2.5.RELEASE .

I checked my dependency tree and its only using Spring-Boot 2.2.5.RELEASE and Spring- Core uses 5.2.5.RELEASE version everywhere.

[Shiv-Kumar-Yadav9]

Thanks for letting us know.

Hi Andy do you think there could be some other cause for this issue.
Thanks.

[wilkinsona]

No, I don't think so. Note that org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration is part of spring-context so you should check the version of that module as well.

[Shiv-Kumar-Yadav9]

Voila, I had missed that.
Thanks Andy.

I have faced the same issue but it solved by updating the below entry under main class.
old: public static void main(String... args) {
new: public static void main(String[] args) {
