Hello,

I've just upgraded from 5.3.8 to 5.3.9 and the following error has appeared:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.springframework.web.method.HandlerMethod.(java.lang.String, org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory, org.springframework.context.MessageSource, java.lang.reflect.Method)'

It is running on: - Apache Tomcat/9.0.52 - JVM Version: 16.0.1+9-24 - Windows 10

The trace is:

Generally, these kinds of errors start to pop up when mixing jars from different versions of the framework. Make sure you updated all the Spring Framework dependencies to the same version and also make sure that no other library/framework you are using is pulling in older versions of Spring related jars.
