Spring + Selenium + Quartz + tomcat = problems ?

to make things short : Spring + Selenium + Quartz + tomcat 6 ,

I know that maven can cause problems by getting javax/servlets and common-logging jars as dependencies , so I tried to exlude them , but with no sucesses...

exceptions from tomcat log:
