I've been converting a large Java Web App to a maven project, but I've run into an error in a handful of classes originating from the tomcat-dbcp jar. I get the following error messages from any class that needs to use BasicDataSource objects:
javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.AbstractMethodError: oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CConnection.isValid(I)Z
java.lang.AbstractMethodError: oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CConnection.isValid(I)Z
Now I know this jar is present on the server (as it is default in our Tomcat8 installation). So in maven I declared this dependency as such:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-dbcp</artifactId>
<version>8.0.26</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
But I'm still seeing this error. What can I do to eliminate this error?
