Problem with Spring MVC in ear with an EJB project

[eschnur]

I created a Spring MVC-driven web application and everything compiles and starts up fine under Weblogic 10. When I add an ear, and place the web application and an ejb project in the ear, then I get a startup error. The error occurs regardless of whether I'm running ebj 2.1 or ejb 3.1. It looks like the problem is with a configuration file, but again, the same web application starts up fine outside the context of the ear.

<Oct 27, 2008 9:58:36 AM EDT> <Error> <HTTP> <BEA-101216> <Servlet: "admin" failed to preload on startup in Web application: "/admin".

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Conflict in Spring jar files- mixed versions. OK now.
