java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for spring classes

[gossi]

Hello everyone.

While trying to write a simple Springframework war I'm running into some problems. I have already tried some stuff, but at first I wanna explain my problem.

When publishing my project (SpringTutorial.war) to my Wildfly 10 i got this trace log:

09:57:48,540 WARN  [org.jboss.modules] (MSC service thread 1-2) Failed to define class org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextAware in Module "deployment.SpringTutorial.war:main" from Service Module Loader: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed to link org/springframework/context/ApplicationContextAware (Module "deployment.SpringTutorial.war:main" from Service Module Loader): org/springframework/beans/factory/Aware

This is a short version, for the complete trace feel free to take a look at the attachment.

I'm using Eclipse and directly publish from Eclipse to the Wildfly wich I have added to the Eclipse IDE, using it to start, stop and publish to the Wildfly.

My project is a Web-Project and the following jars are in the WEB-INF/lib folder:

• spring-aop-4.3.5.RELEASE.jar
• spring-context-4.3.5.RELEASE.jar
• spring-core-4.3.5.RELEASE.jar
• spring-web-4.3.5.RELEASE.jar
• spring-webmvc-4.3.5.RELEASE.jar

When I take a look at the wildfly-10.1.0.Final/standalone/deployments/SpringTutorial.war/WEB-INF/lib folder, all the jars are included in this folder.

Thinks I have tried

• Adding the springframework as a module to  the Wildfly Server. (Created new folders, so I got these wildfly-10.1.0.Final/modules/org/springframework/spring/main with module.xml)
• Using jboss-deployment-structure.xml in combination with the module
• Adding the module to the standalone.xml from Wildfly

But nothing worked for me. And most informations and answers in the internet are connected to maven, wich i would use, but because of some reasons, I have to solve the problem without maven.

I hope someone could help me. Thanks for reading this and for your help.

Greetings
