java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/el/PropertyNotFoundException when I send invalid values to controller

I use MockMvc for my controller testing

@Test
    public void updateEvent() throws Exception{
        MockHttpServletRequestBuilder request = MockMvcRequestBuild

I met the same problem, Add the following dependency resolved this problem.

When you met javax/el/PropertyNotFoundException， That means you missed el-api dependency, you can add the following jar

    
        javax.el
        el-api
        2.2
        provided
    

or

  javax.el
  javax.el-api
  3.0.0
  test

Then you met ClassNotFoundException:com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl , You missed el-impl jar:

  org.glassfish.web
  el-impl
  2.2
  test
