NoSuchMethodError running RabbitMQ in CloudFoundry

Question

I recently set a SpringSource CloudFoundry micro cloud instance and am trying to run through their fairly brief messaging example using RabbitMQ found here (with code):

http://support.cloudfoundry.com/entries/20322602-getting-started-with-the-rabbitmq-service-from-a-spring-application

A public working instance of the app is provided here:

http://rabbit-simple.cloudfoundry.com

When I attempt this, the environment sets up properly, the code builds, deploys (using the vmc command line tools) and binds to a rabbitmq service without issue. Here is the console output from running ‘vmc apps’:

Macintosh-2:target wlaprise$ vmc push rabbit-simple

When I try to run the app from a browser, it initially displays the input form properly, but when I enter a message and hit ‘Publish’ I get this 500 error returned:

Has anyone worked this successfully and know what I might be doing wrong (RabbitMQ issue, CloudFoundry issue, my own issue :0 )?

The only thing I did that wasn’t identical to SpringSource's tutorial code was to change the return string in the HomeController from : return "WEB-INF/views/home.jsp"; to “home” to be consistent with the way the viewResolver was set up in the spring-context.xml file (this was necessary to even get the input form to display properly).

Thanks.

Answer 1

I built this again from scratch without using STS editor and it functions properly. I can't really explain why building it from a Maven project inside the STS IDE led to the problem I experienced, but a clean build of everything using just a text editor and vmc command line instructions worked.
