java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.data.domain.Sort.by(sort.direction,string)-CodePudding

getting the following error while trying to call my method which looks like findAll(criteria, recordLimit, recordOffset, Sort.by(DESC,MODIFIED_DATE)) java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.data.domain.Sort.by(Lorg/springframework/data/domain/Sort$Direction;[Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/springframework/data/domain/Sort;

Using Spring-data-commons-2.1.3.RELEASE.jar

Here is the relevant portion of the pom:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-data-commons</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.3.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-data-commons-core</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>

CodePudding user response：

You are referencing spring-data-commons and spring-data-commons-core, the latter being very, very old. It has a conflicting class Sort that's being used at runtime instead of the one you want/need from spring-data-commons.

Remove the dependency on spring-data-commons-core and re-build.
