Spring framework upgrade to 5

Prashant Thorat :

I am trying to upgrade Spring 4.0.1.RELEASE to latest spring version 5.0.6.RELEASE. After changing version in my pom.xml it is showing error

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Unexpected exception parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.getEnvironment()Lorg/springframework/core/env/Environment;

It's working perfectly fine with 4.0.1.RELEASE.

My pom.xml:

<properties>
    <java-version>1.8</java-version>
    <org.springframework-version>5.0.6.RELEASE</org.springframework-version>
    <org.aspectj-version>1.6.10</org.aspectj-version>
    <org.slf4j-version>1.6.6</org.slf4j-version>
</properties>

What am I missing?
