Using Spring Data MongoDB 1.2.1.RELEASE and Spring core 3.2.2.RELEASE, while system is starting, it hits some weird spring-asm IncompatibleClassChangeError errors :
java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError:
class org.springframework.core.type.classreading.ClassMetadataReadingVisitor
has interface org.springframework.asm.ClassVisitor as super class
pom.xml
<properties>
<spring.version>3.2.2.RELEASE</spring.version>
<springdata.version>1.2.1.RELEASE</springdata.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<!-- Spring Core -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- Spring Data for MongoDB -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-mongodb</artifactId>
<version>${springdata.version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- Spring Web-->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Solution
This is because the Spring-data is getting the old spring-asm 3.1.4.RELEASE, and conflicts with the latest Spring core 3.2.2.RELEASE.
Check all dependencies with Maven’s command mvn dependency:tree.
# mvn dependency:tree

Few ways to fix it.
1. Define the Spring data dependency “AFTER” the Spring related dependencies. Maven transitive dependencies will fetch the correct Spring dependencies automatically.
pom.xml
<properties>
<spring.version>3.2.2.RELEASE</spring.version>
<springdata.version>1.2.1.RELEASE</springdata.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<!-- Spring Core -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- Spring Web-->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- Spring Data for MongoDB , define at last-->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-mongodb</artifactId>
<version>${springdata.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Check Maven dependency tree again.
2. Add spring-asm to exclusion list.
pom.xml
<!-- Spring Data for MongoDB , define at last-->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-mongodb</artifactId>
<version>${springdata.version}</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-asm</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
3. Wait latest Spring data release 🙂

What a MAN you are :):):):
brilliant
Thanks !! It’s very helpful. in my case, com.googlecode.ehcache-spring-annotations has references spring-asm. I doing same action like you had been, I solved it. thanks again.
You the Best of all. i have searched in many sites. but after seeing your solution the error is 100% gone. The second option solution worked for me. Thank you .Thanks A lot!!!!!!!!!!
you, man, are THE man! thank so much for this. i’ve tried just about everything, but reordering the dependencies in the pom finally worked.
Thanks, your second solution worked for me…. Actualy, I haven’t check the first one, neither the third ))
