So, in my welcome.jsp I have

<%@ include file="statics/footer.jsp"%>

And in my footer.jsp I have:

<spring&#58;message code="footer.text"/>

So I am not sure what the problem is, only that when I take the <spring:message> out of the footer, it works.
Any ideas?

No WebApplicationContext found: not in a DispatcherServlet request?

The page has to come via your DispatcherServlet. Looks like you hit the JSP directly. Take a look at Petclinic index.jsp:

<c&#58;redirect url="/welcome.htm"/>

This will be handled by the DispatcherServlet and dispatched to the JSP.

I think it has something to do with the footer spring:message though, since when I take that out, it works fine. I don't know what effect the include is having on spring being able to get the message, but there is obviously something wrong there.

Yes, that's exactly the problem I describe above. Even if you move the spring:message from the footer to the main page you'll probably get the same error.

Make sure you display the JSP via your DispatcherServlet.

[todds]

I have an index.jsp page, which simply does what you say:
<c:redirect url="/welcome.html"/>

The welcome.jsp page is generated via a controller which is a dispatcher in web.xml.

I have other pages that are generated via controllers which aren't dispatchers in web.xml - however the error occurs even with the welcome.jsp page.
If I put a spring:message tag in my welcome.jsp then it works without error and the message is displayed. However, when welcome.jsp includes other jsp pages, and those pages have spring:message tags, errors are produced, but the message is still displayed.

[katentim]

If I put a spring:message tag in my welcome.jsp then it works without error and the message is displayed

The <%@ include file="statics/footer.jsp"%> code should be included in the welcome.jsp compilation verbatim, so swapping the TAG from footer.jsp to welcome.jsp shouldn't make a difference. :?

The stack trace has:

at _jsp._web_22dinf._jsp._statics._footer__jsp._jspSe rvice(_footer__jsp.java:37)

This seems to indicate the footer is hit separately. I would have expected the entry to have something like _welcome__jsp.java. Can you verify if your welcome.jsp to Java transalation is working OK?
