Hi Marius
Thanks for the information, I was able to download Spring Release 3.0.5 and the application worked, with some minor modifications:
a) Moved the spring-contexts folder into WEB-INF (As I am not using the Snowdrop JAR file, I dont think I have the "classpath*" available anymore?)
b) I had to remove references to the contextClass in the web.xml, so the source for the web.xml changed to (Maybe the source for the demo code should be appended for this change?) :
<web-app>
<display-name>Classpath Scanning Spring MVC Web Application</display-name>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring-contexts/*.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>spring-mvc-servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>spring-mvc-servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/spring/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
