Hi Nes, I don't know Spring, so I can just try to reproduce what you post here. I tried to deploy a simple webapp with just one file "applicationContext.xml" with the content of your sample, and this worked. I also tried to deploy the spring 2.5 sample "imagedb", and this also worked besides database errors because I don't have a MySQL database. The sample's applicationContext.xml has the same header as yours. Could you give the "imagedb" sample a try?
