I think you have two version of Spring-core libraries in your classpath. The below method is not present in this version of class AnnotatedElementUtils that is getting loaded into classpath

    public static <A extends Annotation> 
    A findMergedAnnotation(AnnotatedElement element,Class<A> annotationType)

This method is available since 4.2. May be there is a spring core library that is prior to this version. Please check if there is any older version of spring-core library is getting loaded with spring-asm jar as transitive dependency
