I have been struggling with this problem for several weeks. I found a
workaround on the internet which I tried but didn't work. The workaround was
to replace a handfull of spring related files (spring-core, spring-context
and spring-beans) with recent version.
Geronimo v2.0M6-rc1
This is the first few lines of the exception thrown when I start the
application
14:20:08,372 ERROR [ContextLoader] Context initialization failed
