Answer 1

Your DataAccessException is not a subclass of Throwable class (extends Throwable). It should be, and without this inheritance, your code is not compilable with the current throws clause.

Answer 2

I was facing same problem. What I have done wrong was I have created Exception class(by mistake) of my own. In other programs I was trying to extend Exception class(default) but complier(eclipse)was loading user defined Exception class giving me same error. So please make sure you are not overriding any default class.

Answer 3

This can happen if some class in the type-hierarchy of the exception is not on the class-path. In that case, its not possible to verify whether the exception really extends Throwable, whether it is a checked one or not, etc. Hence the errors. e.g superclass of Dataaccessexception : NestedRuntimeException may be missing from the class-path as it is in a differnt jar i.e. spring-core.

Answer 4

This means that in your getUserInfo() method there is no code that throws that exception. So just remove the throws clause from your method declaration.

Answer 5

I had this same issue when I upgraded to 5.X.X version. I have added Spring-core.jar file and it worked fine for me. Just adding this here because it may help some one. Spring txn jar , dao jar and spring core are must.
