java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/fileupload/FileItemFactory at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredConstructors0(Native Method)

I have to upload a file on a local website,
I am using Spring, Hibernate, but I do not use Maven.
I know I have a little problem with my architecture but it works before I try to upload my file.
My architecture is like :
- src :
- Controller : With my controller
- Dao : With my DAO
- Model : With my Model
- Hibernate : With my Hibernate
- applicationContext.xml : With beans for dao
...
- WebContent :
- Views : With my jsp
- WEB-INF :
- dispatchers-servlet.xml : With beans for controller and views
- web.xml : with the servlet and servlet mapping
I tried to add :
<!-- Configure the multipart resolver -->
<bean id="multipartResolver" class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">
<!-- one of the properties available; the maximum file size in bytes -->
<property name="maxUploadSize" value="100000"/>
</bean>
I added this in dispatchers-servlet.xml.
But when I started my server, I had this problem :

I have added commons-fileupload-1.3.1.jar to my buildpath but still it doesn't work.

Answer: The Apache Commons FileUpload jar must be on the classpath at runtime. If you are using Gradle or Maven you can add it as a dependency in your project's build.gradle or maven pom file.
Explanation: Apache Commons FileUpload is an optional dependency of Spring Web. Neither Maven nor Gradle will automatically resolve/download optional dependencies. Optional dependencies have to be manually added to your project's list of dependencies when your project uses a feature that requires them.
Since my project uses the CommonsMultipartResolver class from Spring Web, we in fact do need Apache Commons FileUpload at runtime. After adding the following to the dependencies block in my build.gradle file everything worked perfectly:
runtime 'commons-fileupload:commons-fileupload:1.3.1'
It would be nice if there were some way to determine the full set of optional dependencies that a project requires at runtime. The only solution I can think of is comprehensive unit test coverage, but that may not be feasible for many projects.

If you include in lib folder and problem still persists, Try to keep
commons-fileupload-1.3.1.jar in tomcat/lib.

After installing Alfresco PDF Toolkit, Alfresco fail to start

I tried the followings but fail to find a way to make Alfresco PDF Toolkit works.
I am planning to use either Alfresco community 4.2e or 5.0d and I want to add the Alfresco PDF Toolkit in it.
I use the AMPs provided in the website. It said it support Alfresco 4.x to 5.x
I install the amps by apply_amps command.
I successfully installed Alfresco PDF Toolkit 1.2 on 4.2e, but Alfresco fail to start after.
I failed to install Alfresco PDF Toolkit 1.3 on 4.2e.
I successfully installed Alfresco PDF Toolkit 1.2 on 5.0d, but Alfresco fail to start after.
I successfully installed Alfresco PDF Toolkit 1.3 on 5.0d, but Alfresco fail to start after.
The fail to start error is the same and is listed below:

Is it possible that I need to install additional component or else?
How can I make it work?

Any Suggestion?

Seems you don't have the Bean Validation (BV) API on the classpath. You need javax.validation:validation-api. Since you are using a 4.x Validator version 1.0.0.GA version of the Bean Validation API.
The BV API is a transitive dependency of Hibernate Validator, so it should be added automatically by Maven. On the other hand, in your post it is not clear to me how you get to this error? You will need to give more context on where and how this error occurs.

I have no idea why this is happening. any clues?

You're missing required libraries, at least the JSON library. This may be because you're not using Maven or an equivalent.
You can't just drop a plugin library into your app and expect it to work, plugins have their own dependencies.

Can't start a Spring MVC 3.0 app on GAE HR datastore but works on Master/Slave

I have a Spring MVC app that works on GAE using the Master/Slave datastore.
I created a new app with the High Replication datastore configured.
Now the same app won't start on this new environment.
I have no idea what this stacktrace indicates is the reason for the startup failure:
org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet initServletBean: Context initialization failed

Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?

I'm going to take a wild guess that you hit GAE during a bad moment and it timed out while reading an XML config file. If that's the case, it has nothing to do with whether the app is M/S or HR, and everything to do with bad timing. Have you got it to run since?
