any ideas why ?
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.el.ELResolver.invoke(Ljavax/el/ELContext;Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;[Ljava/lang/Class;[Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/Object;
That method was introduced in EL 2.2. This exception suggests that your webapp's /WEB-INF/lib
is polluted with libraries of an older EL version. Tomcat 7.0 itself already ships with EL 2.2, but any container-specific libraries in /WEB-INF/lib
will get precedence in classloading. Perhaps you've declared a non-provided EL 2.1 dependency in pom.xml
instead of a provided EL 2.2 dependency.
