More recently, but I'm trying to upgrade to java 8 from java 6.
I built using java 8. It compiled everything, but got some server errors when starting the application. I read that java 8 requires spring to upgrade to version 4, so I followed this guide for this. After a bit of heartache, everything compiles back, but I still get errors. I know this is still a version issue, but I'm not sure where to start, trying to figure out where ...
I am running tomcat 6.0.33, java 8 (hopefully), spring 4 (also hopefully), and this is a RESTful web service.
I updated tomcat to run java 8 and my path variables are updated.
Merki bucket! Here's the full trace.

Edit: Therefore, I tried to remove asm from my project as such
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId> <version>${spring.version}</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-asm</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency>
But I still get
ERROR: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader - Context initialization failed java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at org.springframework.asm.ClassReader.<init>(Unknown Source)...
Now I also use tomcat 8
I looked through all the childhood pores and added exceptions to everything that referred to asm. I have no idea why this is called ...
Does anyone have any ideas?
Edit 2: After running mvn dependency: tree, here are the ASM-related parts of the output (the output itself was massive, so I don't want to publish it all)
