SEVERE: Error configuring application listener

[horri khalid <ho...@gmail.com>]

Hi Guys

I'm new in this ML, I hope that I can be useful and helpful for others.

Now I have a serious problem which take from me a lot of time to get around
it, but until now I have no solution.
So the problem is started when I upgraded tomcat from 5 to 6, I have a
simple application of integration JSF and Spring.
When I deploy my app I receive this stack :


*SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class
