SpringMVC - SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

Make sure you have added the following if you are using Maven

< dependency>

      < groupId>org.springframework< /groupId>

      < artifactId>spring-web< /artifactId>

      < version>3.2.1.RELEASE< /version>

< /dependency>

If not, make sure the spring-web jar is in your lib folder and also in the build path (Right click on your project -> properties -> Java Build Path -> Add JARs)
