Why java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError Exception Thrown?
If you are working with Spring MVC and Spring Data Neo4j, then there is greater possibility that you would get the following exception when it comes to run the application using one of the Java EE container like Apache. I’ve used Apache Tomcat 7.35 for deploying a PrimeFaces 5 application with Spring MVC & Spring Neo4j using the following maven pom file. Note that, this exception could be thrown for some other frameworks as well.

By deploying that application you will be getting an exception like the one below:

If you’ve just noticed that exception which tells you that a class ClassMetadataReadingVisitor causing incompatibleClassChangeError. The reason is that, it doesn’t implements an interface in the Spring asm library.

The Spring asm version that imported is org.springframework:spring-asm:jar:3.1.4.RELEASE:compile which consider older than required for spring core library. That is the main reason why this exception is thrown.
The library that caused that error is:
[INFO] +- org.springframework.data:spring-data-neo4j-aspects:jar:2.3.5.RELEASE:compile [INFO] | +- org.springframework:spring-aop:jar:3.1.4.RELEASE:compile [INFO] | | \- org.springframework:spring-asm:jar:3.1.4.RELEASE:compile
So, let’s exclude the Spring asm from this dependency by using exclusions maven tag. By that the pom.xml file should look like
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId> <artifactId>spring-data-neo4j-aspects</artifactId> <version>2.3.5.RELEASE</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-asm</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency>
By excluding the old spring-asm dependency the new asm 3.3.1 dependency should be imported automatically and your application should be running smoothly.
If you haven’t added any library in your application such as CGLIB that could contain the asm 3.3.1 you can add the following dependency for your pom.xml file.
<!-- Separate ASM Library --> <dependency> <groupId>asm</groupId> <artifactId>asm-all</artifactId> <version>3.3.1</version> </dependency>
