java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener issue
Solution 1
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/
Solution 2
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

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
