when I try to start my app, console shows the next stacktrace:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

I've read about the same problem, but ther were absent spring-web jars, but in my pom.xml I've included spring dependencies, the problem stays:

         <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
            <version>${spring.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
            <version>${spring.version}</version>
        </dependency>

here is web.xml file(just to be sure):

<context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>
            classpath:/context/webContext.xml
        </param-value>
    </context-param>

    <context-param>
        <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>classpath:log4j.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>



    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>springServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
            <param-value></param-value>
        </init-param>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>springServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>


    <filter>
        <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
    </filter>
     <filter-mapping>
            <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
            <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
        </filter-mapping>

    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
    </session-config>

    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>login.jsp</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

I made clean.., clean tomcat work directory..., I cleaned workspace with project->clean.. but nothing helped.. I'm in a such desperation...

updated============= after some manipulation and magic :) I succeeded not to have such exception, but the next appears:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy cannot be cast to javax.servlet.Filter

  • Sounds like you are trying to run from with Eclipse? Not 100% sure. If you are, open the Run-Configurations and take a look at the "Arguments" tab of the server you are trying to deploy to. This will tell where the deployment is located. It is usually under .../.metadata/somewhere.... Go there, look in the "logs" directory at catalina.out and localhost.todaydate.log and see what errors are being reported. Commented Sep 25, 2012 at 13:14
  • yep, i'm working with eclipse. and I found no logs. I looked for them in many folders, but no result :( Commented Sep 25, 2012 at 13:48
  • had to add an "answer" to tell you how to enable that - sorry I forgot the details earlier. Try that and see if you get any errors. Commented Sep 25, 2012 at 14:20
  • john, I had a very similar issue yesterday and posted a few hints on stackoverflow.com/questions/10046654/… Commented Sep 26, 2012 at 11:50

Looks like some configuration issue with your application. You can refer this link http://www.mkyong.com/spring/spring-error-classnotfoundexception-org-springframework-web-context-contextloaderlistener/

I use maven, and the spring version in the link is too old

What is your spring version?

Run mvn clean install on your project

And then mvn tomcat:run Show the result log.

You need to package war-file with your porject and try to deploy it on standalone Tomcat

spring version is 3.0.6.Release
probably, maven can't find the jars, but they are in the repository and the classes and methods are called normally. but the issue project can't start worries me more
maybe this issues are connected? More important that your project must work without any IDE.
@JohnSmith you need to package war-file with your porject and try to deploy it on standalone Tomcat.
@JohnSmith seems to me, you have mess with libraries in classpath. Some library may conflict with other. For example, if you have two versions of spring-web.jar

This is not an answer per se, but needed to type more than I could fit in a comment. This only tells you how to enable logging of the Eclipse Tomcat instance. It is messier than I remembered to enable loggin of the Eclipse Tomcat instances. You still edit the runtime configuration. On the "Arguments" tab under VM arguments add 2 properties:

-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager 
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=/path_to_your/logging.properties

This should enable your logging per the logging.properties file (which can be placed anywhere - I seldom change my Eclipse servers so I just put a copy in the "conf" directory there).

In case you need one handy, here is a copy of a logging.properties file:
