Hello, I am trying to integrate spring into my struts application and am getting the exception below. The service classes, which are calling the jpa objects were tested with Junit and they worked fine so I am not sure what the cause of the problem is. Any assistance would be appreciated. | 00:26:54,453 INFO [XmlWebApplicationContext] Refreshing org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext@acc399: display name [WebApplicationContext for namespace 'action-servlet'];
