What dependency is missing for org.springframework

Question

What dependency am I missing? I am currently using:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

The error Im getting is: The import org.springframework.web.bind cannot be resolved

Answer 1

To resolve, Update Spring Frame Work to 3.2.0 or above!

Answer 2

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
        </dependency>

Answer 3

Add this below dependency in your pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
</dependency>

This is used for @RestController, @RequestMapping

Answer 4

Sometimes there is some error in the local Maven repo. So please close your eclipse and delete the jar spring-webmvc from your local .m2 then open Eclipse and on the project press Update Maven Dependencies.

Then Eclipse will download the dependency again for you. That how I fixed the same problem.

Answer 5

I had almost the same problem but it was just because some .jar library wasn't updated.

I couldn't use @RequestMapping cause that, just "mouse over @RequestMapping" and click on "Fix ..." and the .jar library will be downloading and installing.

Answer 6

This solution WORKS , I had the same issue and after hours I came up to this:

(1) Go to your pom.xml

(2) Add this Dependency :

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
        <version>4.1.6.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

(3) Run your Project
