Hi guys, i am new to spring and trying to integrate struts with spring. I followed the tutorial ON --http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-sr2.html . I am using wsad5.1.2 struts 1.1

Struts config

<action-mappings>
<action
name="initiateActionForm"
path="/initiateQuote" scope="request"
type="org.springframework.web.struts.DelegatingAct ionProxy">
<forward name="success" path="presonalInfo.jsp">
</forward>
</action>
</action-mappings>

<!-- Message Resources -->
<message-resources parameter="assuranceweb.resources.ApplicationResou rces"/>

<plug-in
className="org.springframework.web.struts.ContextL oaderPlugIn">
<set-property property="contextConfigLocation" value="WEB-INF/beans.xml"/>
</plug-in>

Beans.xml

<beans>
<bean id="initiateService" name="initiateService" class="assurance.util.InitiateServiceImpl"/>

<bean name="/initiateQuote" class=" assuranceweb.actions.InitiateQuoteAction">
<property name="initiateService">
<ref bean="initiateService"/>
</property>
</bean>

</beans>

I am getting this error during the server startup......
