Spring framework and Guava version compatability

[Ramesh Kumar Swarnkar]

As the bug reported here: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-1199 I am upgrading Spring in my project as follows: Spring framework from 4.3.10 to 4.3.16; Spring security from 4.2.3 to 4.2.4;
I am able to make the build successfully with upgraded new version, but it gives following error when I deploy this build on Tomact: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/common/collect/ImmutableAsList
I use Guava version, which is 12.0.0 in my project. I tried to upgrade this Guava version from 12.0.0 to 16.0 or 19.0, 24.1-jre ; but then it gives compilation error in my existing code for the following import:

import javax.annotation.concurrent.Immutable;

Can someone please suggest me, what could be the possible fix for this error I get here. I am absolutely clueless.
If I could know:: Which version for Guava is compatible with SPRING4.3.16 & JDK1.7. That will help me to get solution.

Thank you for your time to reading my question.

The error message is misleading. Because the Spring configuration file was looking for log4j property file which cannot be found. When I added the log4j property files, the spring context could inject it in the declared element and went fine now. Thanks !
