Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class net.sf.cglib.proxy.Enhancer

Question

When i autowire a bean with scope of request.session ,I get this error.I am using Spring 3 with hibernate. I have to create a proxy around concerete class,so i have to with cglib option. The problem of autowiring could be solved by design patterns like method injection,factory pattern,but i have to autowire lot of beans so going for the solution of proxing.

here is my application context code for the bean which needs to be autowired.

<bean name="registerBean" class="com.ClickToShop.Beans.RegisterBean" scope="request">
<aop:scoped-proxy proxy-target-class="true" />
</bean>

here is my controller code

@Autowired
@Qualifier("registerBean")
public void setRegisterBean(RegisterBean registerBean) {
this.registerBean = registerBean;
}

I have followed below mentioned steps but not solution. 1.added cglib-nodep-2.2.3.jar .It didn't solve the issue. 2.found that spring has org.springsource.net.sf.cglib which contains enhancer class but dont know why its not taking that.

since this is my first question.want to know should i edit the code and paste the stack trace??sorry — beinghuman, Aug 19 '13 at 21:20
Yes and also did you try the solution posted in this [SO Question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12509579/could-not-initialize-class-net-sf-cglib-proxy-enhancer) — harrybvp, Aug 19 '13 at 21:22
If you are using spring 3.2 check [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15751453/java-lang-noclassdeffounderror-could-not-initialize-class-net-sf-cglib-proxy-en) — Luca Basso Ricci, Aug 20 '13 at 01:40

Problem got resolved after replacing Spring 3.0 jar with Spring 3.2.2 jars. There is no need to add any other external jars if using Spring 3.2 jars.

I've met this same issue in MuleSoft's MUnit testing, and this knowledge base article helped https://support.mulesoft.com/s/article/ka434000000TRBZAA4/Fixing-MUnit-s-error-The-message-processor-XX-could-not-be-mocked

It gives the hint that this could also be related to multiple cglib has been found during test phase therefore explicitly exlude them in the maven plugin configiguration is an alternative solution
