Google App Engine — NoSuchMethodError

Question

I am trying to run a JSP in Google App Engine, and I am getting the following error message on my console. Can anyone help? I do have asm-3.3.jar in my classpath.

Answer 1

Have you checked out this?

Error : java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.objectweb.asm.ClassWriter.<init>(I)V

Specifically, it may be a problem with your cglib and asm-attrs versions.

Answer 2

I added asm-1.5.2.jar (an earlier version), and that fixed the problem.

Answer 3

Ok so it's in your classpath for what Eclipse? Do you have it in the WEB_INF/lib for your AE project?
