Problems running Maven and Hibernate MVC app

[jaltaie]

I'm using the latest version of STS and trying to build a document management application using Spring, Hibernate and Maven support. I'm using the following tutorial:

http://viralpatel.net/blogs/2011/01/...hibernate.html

When trying to run the main jsp (documents.jsp) I get the following error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener

I initiallly thought all the required Spring libraries would be included when installing STS, but I then added the following jars to my build path:

spring-beans - 2.5.2
spring-webmvc - 2.5.2
spring-webflow - 1.0.5
spring - 2.5.2

Still getting the same error and unable to run my app!

Would really appreciate any advice on how to correctly configure STS, including any requisite libraries or jars I may have overlooked so that I can run MVC applications. Also any advice on how to correctly configure Maven and Hibernate support would also be appreciiated. THANK YOU!

You are missing spring-context.jar. Any reason why you are using Spring 2.5.2, given that 3.1.1.RELEASE is the latest and stable version?

I have attached the pom.xml file from my latest project for you to jumpstart Maven based development. If you use the attached pom, you will be able to execute

mvn clean package tomcat:run

to run the application in-place.

Thanks so much for your reply, but I don't think I'm there yet!

You are missing spring-context.jar.

I downloaded the spring-context.jar from:

http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirro...text-1.2.6.jar

I added this to the build path then tried to run the jsp again and produced exactly the same error:
