>          Issue Type: Bug

>    Affects Versions: 2.0
>         Environment: using Spring Framework 2.1 m2

> CXFServlet.java line 136 obtains the Spring application context from the 
> servlet context:
>         if (ctx == null) {
>             ctx = (ApplicationContext)svCtx
>                 
> .getAttribute("org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext.ROOT");
>         }
> If the Spring application context failed to load however, Spring (somewhat 
> inexplicably) sets this attribute to be the exception rather than the 
> context.  See org/springframework/web/context/ContextLoader.java line 202:
>               catch (RuntimeException ex) {
>                       logger.error("Context initialization failed", ex);
>                       
> servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE,
>  ex);
>                       throw ex;
>                                            }
> To avoid repeated ClassCastExceptions that obscure the underlying problem 
> with the Spring application context, CXFServlet should check the type of the 
> attribute before attempting to cast to ApplicationContext:
>         if (ctx == null) {
>             Object ctxObject = svCtx
>                 
> .getAttribute("org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext.ROOT");
>             if (ctxObject instanceof ApplicationContext) {
>             ctx = (ApplicationContext) ctxObject;
>           }
>         }
