[size=medium]Analization of the problem:[/size]

We import wrong version of the spring-support-2.0.8.jar in dependent projects, the right version we should import is 2.5.5 . If you meet with the problem like this when using spring's testing framework to test, you can imagine that it maybe caused by the wrong version of jar relative to spring.

[size=medium]The approach to this problem:[/size]

1. Find the classpath file of your project;
2. Open it with a editing tool of text;
3. Fine the spot where the jars relating to spring are;
4. Select those jars , cut and paste them to the top position of this file.(To make sure that the IDE can find the right version of jars).
