Error getting reflective information for class org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet

Hi Guys ,
You might experience Error getting reflective information for class org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet error while deploying any spring MVC project to wildfly.

Full stack trace is as below:

You might have notices the  root cause is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/web/context/request/async/CallableProcessingInterceptor

If you have the same root cause , you can try the following solutions that worked for me:
1. If you are using maven delete all the repositories , do a fresh clean install and deploy the war file again.
2. If you are using eclipse to add the project to wildfly , use wildfly admin console.
