Trouble getting Spring application running on WAS 7

[hammurabi]

I am getting the following error when I try and run my application on WAS 7. The only post I could find about it said it was fixed after updating the spring dependency's to 2.5.6, bu I am running 3.0.6.RELEASE.

Does anyone have any ideas about why it won't run?

Thanks!

[p792]

The WAS probably uses out-date jar. You probably need to configure to load application classpath first before loading the WAS classpath. Hope this will help

[tiger.spring]

In your EAR's deployment descriptor, goto "Deployment" tab and then under "Application" Section click on EAR and then select

classloader mode = "PARENT_LAST" and
WAR classloader policy = APPLICATION.
