An exception processing JSP page

I have used Expression language in a JSP as
var allActions = ${not empty userPermissions?userPermissions:userPermissions+""};
Application is running on server. It is working perfectly fine at most of the time.
But throws exception some times but not from every client. ie At the same time two persons are accessing the page one user is gettign exception but the other user can access the page correctly.
Just 15 mins back the error was coming and now the same user from same machine and same browser without doing any activity on server can access the page with no exception.
I am unable to evaluate the reason behind the same as Browser based issues are JAVAScript, css issues and server/java based issues are encountered to every users accessing the page.
Exception is
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert {} of type class java.util.HashMap to Number

Try to use var allActions = ${not empty userPermissions?userPermissions:''}; instead of the other.
I think, the error occurs when the userPermissions is empty.
You said: 'Just 15 mins back the error was coming and now the same user from same machine and same browser without doing any activity on server can access the page with no exception'.
I don't know what is your project parameters but maybe it is related with session time out parameter in web.xml. The session timed out so the userPermissions is cleared.

JDBC code is giving IllegalAccessError for MySql

I am getting the following error while retrieving the database tables primary keys, foreign keys and the columns information. Basically I am aware that IllegalAccess is related to the accessing private methods etc. May be it is due to incompatible changes.
I am using mysql the following version. And I have only one mysql jar in the classpath.
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
<version>5.1.34</version>
</dependency>
Here is the stacktrace.

But frequently I am facing this issue. In my development machine the code works fine but when I deploy to the staging server, I frequently face this issue - but not all the time(Only during some deployments). How to fix the issue?
Additional Info: The Servlet Container being used is Tomcat 6.0.26. And the application is a Spring application.
Server's shared directory jars:

As you've reasoned, the cause is most likely a clash between a compile-time class and a runtime class, where a class has (from JavaDoc) ...irrevocably changed.
Looking at your shared folder, I'd say that maybe the mariadb-java-client-1.1.2.jar is the culprit.

This is the source:
Criteria criteria = Criteria.where("testList").is(MyTestEnum.TEST);
NearQuery nq = NearQuery.near(new Point(req.getRangeLat(), req.getRangeLng())).spherical(true).maxDistance(new Distance(req.getRangeKm(), Metrics.KILOMETERS));
nq.query(new Query(criteria));
The field testList is a List which can hold multiple MyTestEnums.
Does anyone know how to get my NearQuery with this Criteria to work?

Lazy Initialization Exception at Update

i'm trying to make this relation works, but when I try to update an LazyInitializationException happens.
I don't know what to do, because, when I try to insert, it is happens without errors.
public class A{
#ManyToMany
#JoinTable(
name="A_B",
joinColumns={#JoinColumn(name="A_id", referencedColumnName="id")},
inverseJoinColumns={#JoinColumn(name="B_id", referencedColumnName="id")}
)
private List<B> listB;
}
public class B{
#ManyToMany(mappedBy="ramosAtividade")
private List<A> a;
}
I've tried the eager solution but didn't worked.
What should I do to make this relations to work ?

Field or property 'contextMessage' cannot be found on object of type 'org.springframework.webflow.engine.impl.RequestControlContextImpl'

A customer's project was written using Spring Web Flow 2.0.5.RELEASE, and I upgraded to version 2.3.2.RELEASE. In some flows, I have this kind of transition:
<transition on="save" to="index">
<evaluate expression="carTypeService.validateCarType(contextMessage, carType)" />
<evaluate expression="carTypeService.saveCarType(carType)" />
</transition>
This transition works fine in older version. In the new version, I get the error below:
GRAVE: Servlet.service() for servlet Spring MVC Dispatcher Servlet threw exception

According to the official documentation, I can use the variable within a flow as in the older version.
I know that messageContext is implemented in org.springframework.binding.message.MessageContext class, but how I should reference it into the XML?

I had never used spring-webflow but the exception message seems quite straightforward. org.springframework.webflow.engine.impl.RequestControlContextImpl class has no field nor property with the contextMessage name. You can see it here for example. Yet there is another property messageContext which you should reference in your xml I think.
