Spring MVC - BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.LocalValidatorFactoryBean

Question

I want to create easy Spring MVC project.

And I got:

Context initialization failed org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.LocalValidatorFactoryBean#0': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: when resolving method "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder.getLoggerFactory()Lorg/slf4j/ILoggerFactory;" the class loader (instance of org/apache/catalina/loader/WebappClassLoader) of the current class, org/slf4j/LoggerFactory, and the class loader (instance of org/apache/catalina/loader/StandardClassLoader) for resolved class, org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder, have different Class objects for the type LoggerFactory

I couldn't figure out why this happen. And how to solve this trouble.

UPDATE:

Any suggestions?

mvn -Dverbose dependency:tree tells you if you have different jars in maybe conflicting versions in your build. Look for the logging jars. — bjoernhaeuser
@nazar_art which container are you using? It seems that your container ships with a conflicting versions of one of the logging jars. — bjoernhaeuser

Solution was cleaned - webapps folder at Tomcat.

I deleted old projects which were deployed. And now it works fine.

It has some strange impact on my application.
