Hi everyone:

I am trying to set up the Spring Framework for a web application. I am using WebLogic 6.1 (JDK1.3.1) as servlet container. I have tried to use the
ContextLoaderServlet but whenever I try to load the application or simply trying to load a bean from the context I get the following error:

<9/12/2004 02:45:11 PM PST> <Error> <HTTP> <[WebAppServletContext(-14787300,acro
net,/acronet)] Servlet failed with Exception

I am setting red the specific portion of the stacktrace related to Spring.

What could possibly be happening?

Thanks in advance,
