Hi everyone. I am new to Drools and Spring MVC. I tried out the example from http://blog.athico.com/2011/01/rules-based-validation-using-drools.html http://blog.athico.com/2011/01/rules-based-validation-using-drools.html but still I am getting an error. I have beeng looking over the net for hours now. and have tried everything i can/know to make it work. I also have tried multiple tutorials, blogs etc. But i still cant seem to get away from that error. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. *Servlet Context* =================================================================== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans:beans
