It looks like the version of spring-orm you're deploying is dependent on a different JPA spec level than what is included in WebSphere - the NoSuchMethodError is a bit difficult to read with the encoding issues, but I am pretty sure it says this:

javax/persistence/PersistenceContext loaded from C:/Program Files (x86)/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/plugins/javax.j2ee.persistence.jar

called from

org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.PersistenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor$PersistenceElement loaded from C:/Program Files (x86)/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/installedApps/myserverNode01Cell/mcomm-0_0_1-SNAPSHOT_war.ear/mcomm-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war/WEB-INF/lib/spring-orm-5.2.1.RELEASE.jar

The version of PersistenceContext included in WebSphere does not contain the synchronization() method, or at least not with the same arguments and/or return type. That likely means that you'll need to bring your own JPA API (and, then, your own compatible implementation) and make it visible to the applications in preference to the server's implementation. The safest way to do that is to package the JPA jars in a shared library, select the "use an isolated class loader" setting on the library, and associate the library with your WAR module. Note that isolated shared libraries can't "see" stuff in the application they're associated with, so you'll need to make sure the classes in the library have all their immediate dependents.
