org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListe

I get the below error when I run my Spring project..I followed multiple SO links and implemented everything but still I have the same problem.

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

I have attached my project Maven depedencies, deployment assembly and wtpwebapps lib folder to show all the dependencies..

Not sure what else Im missing.

回答1:

You should have this in your pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Also you can try:

Right click on your project
"Propeties"
Deployment Assembly
Add
Java Build Path Entries
Maven Dependencies (Selected them all)
Finish

回答2:

Your project setup shows there is jar file missing or your are pointing to missing jar file in your project build path.

Right click on your project ==> Go to Build Path ==> In Libraries tab..

You can see the jar files missed with red color cross mark delete them (if you need them add those missing jars in your path)

And re-build the project.
