Analization of the problem:

We import wrong version of the spring-support-2.0.8.jar in dependent projects, the right version we should import is 2.5.5  . If you meet with the problem like this when using spring's testing framework to test, you can imagine that it maybe caused by the wrong version of jar relative to spring.

The approach to this problem:

1. Find the classpath file of your project;
2. Open it with a  editing tool of text;
3. Fine the spot where the jars relating to spring are;
4. Select those jars , cut and paste them to the top position of this file.(To make sure that the IDE can find the right version of jars).
