I create a simple webapp using tomcat 6, spring 2.5.6 and
maven.
The problem is when I boot up tomcat, I am getting the following errors:
SEVERE: StandardWrapper.Throwable
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/ui/ModelMap
...
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.ui.ModelMap
The ModelMap class does exist in spring-2.5.6.jar and spring-context-2.5.6.jar, I also have some other spring jars. All of them are being deployed to tomcat correctly, when I check the application WEB-INF (deployed to tomcat) I found all those jars there!
I have only one @Controller that has a @RequestMapping("/home.htm") showForm(ModelMap model) method.
My applicationContext is quite simple:
