Type Mismatch - why i am getting this error?

Question

My code looks like below:

import org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext; 
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public static void main(String args[]) {
    ApplicationContext context = 
        new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring_conf.xml");
}

why i am getting this error ?

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: 
Type mismatch: cannot convert from ClassPathXmlApplicationContext to ApplicationContext

at root.Main.main(Main.java:11)

Anything i am missing or doing wrong?

What Spring version are you using ? And please show your imports. — ndeverge, Jul 15 '12 at 13:42
i'm using eclipse 3.7.2 and spring-framework-3.1.1.RELEASE . — Hossein Boka, Jul 15 '12 at 13:44
That (the imports you were asked to include) should answer your question. Next time edit the question with the additional info, though. — Dave Newton, Jul 15 '12 at 13:46

Change your first Spring import to:

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext

This is the correct interface that ClassPathXmlApplicationContext implements.

The import org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext is incorrect, it must be

org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext

+1 for asking and following up even after someone jumped in ;) – Dave Newton Jul 15 '12 at 13:48
I think I replied at the same time as the other user ;-) – ndeverge Jul 15 '12 at 13:48

Here is a simple solution.

Replace import statement org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext; with the below import statement:

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;

Works for sure, if not Let me know.
