Error added: 2014-06-24T20:06:15Z
For me, it was because I was using DWR with the Spring Annotations. When I removed that, it cleared this error.
This error occurs when you're using a jar file that was built against Spring 3.2 or earlier, but now you're forcing it to run against Spring 4.x. In the Spring 4.x release they removed the long-deprecated method ClassUtils.forName(String), suggesting that you should instead call ClassUtils.forName(String,ClassLoader).
