Error configuring application listener of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

Question

I'm trying to deploy my application through IntelliJ IDEA 11.0, and it is giving me the following error:

Does anyone know how to fix this?

can you post your project's dependencies (pom.xml file or libraries used)? — jelies

It's weird, because org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener is inside org.springframework-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar and is present in your pom.xml file. Check your classpath / war file and ensure this jar is in right place. — jelies

Actually I was also facing the same problem and after wasting a lot of time. I realized that actually it is a very silly error. You must have changed the pom file and update the dependencies. But once we do so the jar files of maven dependencies are removed from deployment Assembly.

All you need to do is:

Right click the project folder.
click on properties.
click on Web Deployment Assembly.
check if maven dependencies are listed or not.
if not click the add button
from the list select the maven dependencies and done, apply and OK!

Hope this solve your problem. If you still have it!

ContextLoaderListener is in org.springframework.web-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar

You mentioned a file called org.springframework-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar, which is different.

Maybe you have a typo in your dependencies file?
