Problem with ContextLoaderListener in web.xml

problem solved by loading the context manually in my code
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi guys and girls,

i am new to spring and my 'project' is to program an webapplication using Wicket->Spring->Hibernate.
It runs on JBoss Application Server.

Besides i use a SpringComponentInjector from Wicket to inject the Beans with annotations.

My problem is about the ContextLoaderListener in my web.xml.

<context-param>
		<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
		<param-value> 
		     /applicationContext.xml
		</param-value>
	</context-param>

<listener>
		<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
	</listener>

<servlet>

		<servlet-name>wicketApplication</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>org.apache.wicket.protocol.http.WicketServlet</servlet-class>
		<init-param>

			<param-name>applicationClassName</param-name>
			<param-value>com.mdv.application.WicketWebApplication</param-value>

		</init-param>

		<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
	</servlet>

	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>wicketApplication</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>

The thing is, that when i'm using the listener i get an 404 error from jboss and without i get an exception:

exception

my simple Webapplication Code (if necessary) is:

public class WicketWebApplication extends WebApplication
{


	public void init(){
		super.init();
		addComponentInstantiationListener(new SpringComponentInjector(this));
		
	}

	@Override
	public Class<? extends Page> getHomePage()
	{
		
		return WelcomePage.class;
	}

}

Thank you for all hints and advises
