Problem using Spring-XML-Files in WebApp

[sebastian.koske]

Hi,

I'm using Spring in my webapp. The Spring Context is configured in

WEB-INF/classes/my-applicationContext.xml

the web.xml activates Spring with:

   <context-param>

      <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>

      <param-value>classpath*:my-applicationContext.xml</param-value>

   </context-param>

   <listener>

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

   </listener>

This used to work fine in AS 6 and earlier. When I deploy this to 7.0.0.FINAL I get the following error:

12:37:24,459 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/myweb]] (MSC service thread 1-5) Except

I have all spring libs included in my WAR under lib. It seems like a classloading-bug to me or am I doing something wrong. Is there anything I can try?
