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:
I have had the same problem, and it turned out there was indeed a version mismatch, the problem with mine was that i used a server variable, in the form of ${server.env}, and it was this that gave the problem. Since my spring-expression version was 3.0.5 still. You should try adding these to your pom :
org.springframework
spring-expression
${version.spring.framework}
org.springframework
spring-beans
${version.spring.framework}
