java.lang.IllegalArgumentException with AnnotationConfigApplicationContext

I am trying to follow the example under #Configuration & #Bean Annotations section from link https://www.tutorialspoint.com/spring/spring_java_based_configuration.htm, and I got the following exception:

I am using java 1.8, spring 3.2.1. Thanks for your help.
package com.tutorialspoint;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.*;
#Configuration
public class HelloWorldConfig {
#Bean
public HelloWorld helloWorld(){
return new HelloWorld();
}
}
package com.tutorialspoint;
public class HelloWorld {
private String message;
public void setMessage(String message){
this.message = message;
}
public void getMessage(){
System.out.println("Your Message : " + message);
}
}
package com.tutorialspoint;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.*;
public class MainApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext ctx =
new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(HelloWorldConfig.class);
HelloWorld helloWorld = ctx.getBean(HelloWorld.class);
helloWorld.setMessage("Hello World!");
helloWorld.getMessage();
}
}
It failed on new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(HelloWorldConfig.class) of the MainApp.java

If you can, use Spring 4.1.6, as specified in the tutorial.
I reproduced your error using spring-framework-3.2.1.RELEASE-dist.zip but the Hello World app ran fine for me using spring-framework-4.1.6.RELEASE-dist.zip.

IllegalArgumentException while pointing to an XML file in Spring

I'm new to spring and I was trying constructor injection. I get an IllegalArgumentException in the first line of the main function. It does not have problems locating the xml file when I use a property tag inside the xml(setter injection) but here it is raising an exception.

Do ask, if more clarity is needed.
Thanks in advance

Your exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/pool/impl/GenericObjectPool which basically means the required java class is not on the class path.
The problem is due to commons-pool not being in your class path.
Ideally this should be availed when your add the apache tomcat server as a server in your project and doing will get the commons-pool from the server
If this is not the case then kindly add it in the lib folder by downloading it
If it's a maven project then it has it in the pom.xml
commons-pool

Spring not able to inject values through property tag

I am using simple setter injection for setting values to a varaible in a class
But when i try to run the application, the object returns me null values
What could be the reason?
Below are the files.
Spring.XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN 2.0//EN"
"http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans2.0.dtd">
<beans>
<bean id = "triangle" class="com.test.Triangle">
<property name = "type" value = "Equilateral" />
</bean>
</beans>
Triangle.java
public class Triangle {
private String type;
public String getType() {
return type;
}
public void setType(String type) {
this.type = type;
}
public void draw() {
System.out.println(getType() + " Triangle drawn");
}
}
DrawingApplication.java
package com.test;
public class DrawingApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("Spring.xml");
Triangle t = (Triangle) context.getBean("triangle");
t.draw();
}
}

I tried to replicate the problem statement. This is my package structure:
Spring.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</bean>
</beans>
DrawingApplication.java:

public class DrawingApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("Spring.xml");
Triangle t = (Triangle) context.getBean("triangle");
t.draw();
}
}
Triangle.java:
package com.test;
public class Triangle {
private String type;
public String getType() {
return type;
}
public void setType(String type) {
this.type = type;
}
public void draw() {
System.out.println(getType() + " Triangle drawn");
}
}

I ran the above code and got following output:

I got the expected output, so looks like there is some issue with the classpath and the location of spring.xml file.
