Can anyone help me with this issue? I am using Spring 1.1 RC2.

Tomcat 5.0 throws this SAXParseException when I deploy my Spring webapp.

Code:
Aug 30, 2004 5:26:23 AM org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader loadBeanDefinitions
INFO: Loading XML bean definitions from resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml] of ServletContext
Aug 30, 2004 5:26:23 AM org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader initWebApplicationContext
SEVERE: Context initialization failed

My Tomcat is located in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0

My web.xml is as follows

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http&#58;//java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<web-app>

  </context-param>

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

...
</web-app>
My applicationContext.xml is

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
