Solution: This happens due to asm jar old library. Upgrate to new version of asm:

  • If you are using MAVEN project add below dependency in your pom.xml file:
<dependency>
		<groupId>asm</groupId>
		<artifactId>asm</artifactId>
		<version>3.1</version>
</dependency>

 

  • If you are using eclipse with lib please add asm-3.1.jar to your lib folder and include in your class path.
  • This should resolve the above issue.
