I'm not sure how to go about debugging this stuff. I'm having a problems with the sessionFactory bean. If I comment it out, then the application will load on tomcat without any problems. As soon as I uncomment it...it won't load. I've looked at the tomcat logs and they don't really have very much information.

Does your application have its own log file separated from tomcat's (depending on how log4j is configured)? You need to tell us more than "it won't load" for us to be able to help you.

For some reason my log4j was not working correctly but after I reinstalled some things. The log messages showed that I needed to set org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFac toryBean instead of what I had above. Looks like the packaging structure was changed dramatically since hibernate 2.0.
