I am using Spring 4.1 and writing maven modules from scratch. I have 2 service modules A and B and a webapp which makes calls to service A whose implementation is there in module B. Following is the list of Spring jars in my parent pom.

<dependency>
                <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
                <version>${spring.version}</version>
                <exclusions>
                    <exclusion>
                        <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
                        <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
                    </exclusion>
                </exclusions>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
                <version>${spring.version}</version>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
                <version>${spring.version}</version>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
                <version>${spring.version}</version>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
               <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
               <artifactId>spring-tx</artifactId>
               <version>${spring.version}</version>
               <scope>provided</scope>
            </dependency>

I got few more issues before encountering this which i resolved. So one of the posts asked to put the below dependencies as well (I dont understand why i have to provide it if spring needed them why its not packaged with it).

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.version}</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
    <version>${aspect.version}</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>
    <version>${aspect.version}</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

I got the mentioned issue and one of the posts suggests to exclude the spring-asm which is old and include latest asm-all dependency.

<dependency>
     <groupId>asm</groupId>
     <artifactId>asm-all</artifactId>
     <version>3.3.1</version>
    </dependency>

I removed spring-asm dependency add the above. Now i run into the issue where the classes are not compatible. Kindly suggest how can i resolve it.

Thanks in advance
