Exception when starting tomcat people, spring, error

amy

Hi all

I hope you can help

We are trying to use spring ROo for some quick development of a small web database app we need.

I have followed the tutorial but to no avail i have googled around and for the following error people ahve suggested adding spring web and spring-webmvc jars in to WEB-INF/lib

This hasnt made a difference

also spring -2.0.7.jar has been mentioned which i have just added to the projects build path.

Im sure its something simple as its obviously just a missing jar but i can find out what...

Thanks for help!Code:

Check if it's there and please do NOT add any old Spring 2.0 jars to your war: Roo apps use Spring 3.0 (well, release candidates thereof for now).

You should also ensure you do NOT place any Spring-related JARs anywhere inside your web container's classpath (like server, lib, ext directories). The only Spring-related JARs you need are included in the Roo WAR (and automatically provided when you use mvn tomcat:run or run a server within STS/Eclipse).

Hi,

I'm getting a similar error starting the tomcat server within STS.  The weird thing is that this error doesn't happen every time.  Only occasionally I get stuck with this error, and restarting STS sometimes would make it go away, and other times it doesn't.  I haven't figured out what causes it and how to make it go away.  I haven't made any changes to jars in the classpath when this error appears or disappears.  Any ideas?Code:

SEVERE: Skipped installing application listeners due to previous error(s)Classloader weirdness. Certainly nothing to do with Roo, though. We don't mess with your application or server classloader at any stage.
