Simple ScalaXB example causes NoSuchMethodError in Dispatch

Question

I am new to Scala and I was trying out an example with ScalaXB.

I am using IntelliJ IDEA and the latest Scala version 2.10.1.

ScalaXB uses Dispatch so I added that (version 0.9.5) as a dependency to the project. I also had to add as a dependency slf4j-nop:1.6.2. So, afterwards everything compiled but an exception keeps appearing:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: scala.util.control.Exception$Catch.either(Lscala/Function0;)Lscala/Either;
at dispatch.Promise$class.result(promise.scala:64)
at dispatch.ListenableFuturePromise.result(promise.scala:223)

at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain.main(AppMain.java:120)

The code line is:

protected lazy val result = allCatch.either { claim }

This looks quite strange because "claim" appears to be a perfectly good java.lang.String object:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body>
<GetWeatherResponse xmlns="http://litwinconsulting.com/webservices/">
<GetWeatherResult>Sunny</GetWeatherResult>
</GetWeatherResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Any ideas what has gone wrong?

Answer 1

When you have java.lang.NoSuchMethodError on Scala standard library stuff, my guess is that somewhere along the setup of IntelliJ or sbt, you're using non-2.10.1 Scala compiler or library.

Edit: Per dispatch, please see my answer for correct mvn version for dispatch.databinder.net. You don't have to build it yourself.
