Context initialization failed

Hi,
wonder if somebody could give me an advice...
Have been struggling for weeks with this and the solution is probably simple...

Have run my application without problems with hibernate2, jdk1.4 and spring1.1.4 and have now upgraded to hibernate3, jdk1.5 and spring 1.2.5.

I keep getting the Context initialization failed error, full exception shown below...

I have tryed both ContextLoaderListner and ContextLoaderServlet in the web.xml and my contextConfigLocation looks like this,
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/buysell-servlet.xml,
/WEB-INF/buysell-service.xml,
/WEB-INF/buysell-data.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>

greatful for any tip.....

It looks like you are missing a:
org/apache/c
ommons/collections/SequencedHashMap

So.. do you have commons-collection.jar on your classpath? (in your WEB-INF directory).

And this message can be quite painfull to read. Maybe Spring should create a better readable error message with chained bean errors.

yes I have the commons-collection.jar in my WEB-INF and can locate it in my .war file that I deploy on tomcat5.5.9.

Can you find SequencedHashMap in that jar? Maybe you have an old jar.

Hi,

My commons-collections.jar that is in my .war file is from the spring1.2.5 distribution. The .jar file have the date 2004-06-23 and holds SequencedHashMap.class in package org\apache\commons\collections.

make sure that the reference of bean using "bean" and not "local".

Hi,
I can't really figure out what you mean by

?

I would think all my beans are referenced correctly in my xml files since everything was running ok in tomcat5.0, jdk1.4, hibernate2 and spring 1.1.4.

Do you change the container?
try to change the .jar file with another.
make sure that there is ont the same .jar file in the tomcat's common/lib.
