I've got the error
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
when deploying only if I include the following piece of code between "Spring Security" and "END Spring Security" in the file web.xml
. If I remove this part of the code in the XML everything works fine.
