Try this.

Right click on project name -> click on properties
Go to Deployment Assembly
Click on Add -> Java Build Path Entries -> Next
Select Maven Dependencies -> Finish -> Apply -> OK
Clean project and server. Restart the server
Check console. ContextLoaderListener exception should not be generated now.

i tried the steps but the problem is i do not have "Maven Dependencies"

pan1490 Over a year ago

First check whether your project is maven based. For that check the 'M' symbol of maven on top of the name of your project in eclipse. If not then right click on project -> configure -> Convert to maven project. Your project will be converted into the maven project. (This will may take some time as some required jars will be dowlnloaded.) After this clean project and try above steps.

It shows that you have missed some jar files. I guess one of the spring jar files is not packed with your war file, or maybe it does not exist in your destination application server, Are you deploying your application war file manually? BTW which version of Spring you are using?

what is the name of jar did i miss?

ali4j Over a year ago

Which version of spring you are using?

ali4j Over a year ago

ContextLoaderListener class exists inside spring-2.5.6 jar file, so make sure that this jar file exists in your war file when your are packing it.

ali4j Over a year ago

Test your war file with a clean installation of another app server(such as tomcat) and check the result, maybe there is some problem with your jboss.

You are missing org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener, located in spring-web-VERSION.jar, from your runtime classpath. It doesn't help if they're on your build path if they cannot be found runtime. You need to package the .jars with your .war libs for them to be found.

@Djkgotso did you confirm from runtime classpath that it is there? You can print it out. It might be that you get it due to some other dependency that this dependency is needing... you can also try to debug jboss and catch the exception and examine it in the debugger.

You are missig one of the following thing while configure your application

Missing Jars

Download latest Spring MVC 3.2.5 RELEASE jars from here
Add Jar files to Build Path

Add your downloaded jar file into project Build path . Read this article link1 and link2.

hope this will solve your problem.
