i keep getting this error at the first line of my configuration file in spring project

Question

the only suggested solution for this error i get is to configure build path. I consider it is already everything at its place. please tell me the problem.

The error:

Multiple markers at this line - The type org.springframework.http.HttpStatus cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files - The type org.springframework.web.method.support.HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

i'm working on spring tool suite. here is my configuration file:

package com.health.config;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.sql.DataSource;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ViewResolver;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver;
import com.health.dao.DAO;
import com.health.dao.DAOImpl;

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages="com.health")
@EnableWebMvc
@Component
public class AppConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter{

     @Override
        public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
         registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**").addResourceLocations("resources/");
        }


    @Bean
    public ViewResolver getViewResolver(){
        InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
        resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
        resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
        return resolver;
    }

    @Bean
    public DataSource getDataSource() {
        DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
        dataSource.setDriverClassName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        dataSource.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/contactdb");
        dataSource.setUsername("root");
        dataSource.setPassword("welkinfort");
        return dataSource;
    }



    @Bean
    public DAO getDAO() {
        return new DAOImpl(getDataSource());
    }
}

@Nidhi257 I did! it does nothing. this error is coming only in one project. — Gurjot kaur, Nov 14 '17 at 04:44
There is definitely some problem with the dependencies. This error means one of the classes that you use, needs another class which is not in classpath. — amdg, Nov 14 '17 at 05:19
have you added jar for "org.springframework.http.HttpStatus". try adding this jar — Nidhi257, Nov 14 '17 at 05:39
can you pls let me know which IDE you are using ? which build tool gradle or maven ? and a screenshot of project expolorrer.and POM or gradle file.. — SAMUEL, Nov 14 '17 at 05:55
@SamuelJMathew i'm using Spring tool suite and making a web maven project. and i've added the pom. — Gurjot kaur, Nov 14 '17 at 06:04

You are missing spring-web dependency. The org.springframework.http.HttpStatus is part of spring-web jar. Add this to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
    <version>4.2.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

adding this clashes with spring.jdbc – Gurjot kaur Nov 14 '17 at 06:11
i get these errors :1.The type org.springframework.jdbc.core.ResultSetExtractor cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files 2.Multiple markers at this line - DriverManagerDataSource cannot be resolved to a type - DriverManagerDataSource cannot be resolved to a type – Gurjot kaur Nov 14 '17 at 06:11
I dont think this should cause issue with jdbc. Please do the maven update for your project. – Sangam Belose Nov 14 '17 at 06:13
right click on project --> maven --> update project. – Sangam Belose Nov 14 '17 at 06:14
i did some changes now these are the errors left: 1.Cannot change version of project facet Dynamic Web Module to 3.0. next is:One or more constraints have not been satisfied. both are Java EE Configuration Problems – Gurjot kaur Nov 14 '17 at 06:26
Its related with your servlet api version – Sangam Belose Nov 14 '17 at 06:29
Post your project structure..do you have web.xml? – Sangam Belose Nov 14 '17 at 06:30
https://i.stack.imgur.com/jPU9I.png :project structure. and i have not used web.xml. i use java classes with annotations instead of it – Gurjot kaur Nov 14 '17 at 06:47
change the project facets. since you are using the servlet 3.0+ spec you should use the appropriate facets. – Sangam Belose Nov 14 '17 at 07:05
Just search about this new issue..this might help..https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18122336/cannot-change-version-of-project-facet-dynamic-web-module-to-3-0 – Sangam Belose Nov 14 '17 at 07:06
