Setting up a Spring JPA project for use in an MVC project - Error creating bean

Question

I developed a Spring JPA project in eclipse which has access to the data stored in a mysql server. Now I need to import this project in a Spring @ MVC project. So:

Answer 1

In my case the conflict was caused by spring security, which was still using older versions. I put some excludes on it, and now it is ok. It may also be a good thing to put this stuff in the dependencyManagement so you don't have to repeat in every module.

I am using the following:

    
        
            org.springframework
            spring-context-support
            ${spring.framework.version}
        

        
            org.springframework
            spring-orm
            ${spring.framework.version}
        

        
            org.springframework
            spring-web
            ${spring.framework.version}
        

        
            org.springframework.security
            spring-security-core
            ${spring.security.framework.version}

            
                
                    org.springframework
                    spring-aop
                

                
                    org.springframework
                    spring-expression
                
            
        

        
            org.springframework.security
            spring-security-config
            ${spring.security.framework.version}

            
                
                    org.springframework
                    spring-aop
                
            
        

        
            org.springframework.security
            spring-security-web
            ${spring.security.framework.version}
            
                
                     org.springframework
                    spring-tx
                

                
                    org.springframework
                    spring-jdbc
                

                
                    org.springframework
                    spring-aop
                

                
                    org.springframework
                    spring-expression
                
            
        


        
            org.hibernate.javax.persistence
            hibernate-jpa-2.0-api
            1.0.1.Final
        

        
            org.hibernate
            hibernate-entitymanager
            4.0.1.Final
        
    

without the exclusions I had the same error as described in the beginning of this thread. The versions i was using for spring were:

    3.1.1.RELEASE
    3.1.0.RELEASE
