help integrating struts and spring 2

[Doug Tangren]

Hi.  I have been using Struts 1.2.9 for a while and just started  
using Spring 2.0.  I am trying to integrate the two an am running  
into trouble.  I am following Springs docs @ http:// 
static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.0.x/reference/ 
webintegration.html#struts-actionsupport  and I tried the easier of  
the two recommended approaches, making my actions subclass Spring's  
DispatchActionSupport class instead of Struts' Action class.  This  
example below is the example given in Spring's docs.

public class UserAction extends DispatchActionSupport {
    public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
                                 ActionForm form,
                                 HttpServletRequest request,
                                 HttpServletResponse response)  
throws Exception {
        if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
            log.debug("entering 'delete' method...");
        }
        WebApplicationContext ctx = getWebApplicationContext();
        UserManager mgr = (UserManager) ctx.getBean("userManager");
        // talk to manager for business logic
        return mapping.findForward("success");
    }
}


 I am deploying to Tomcat and am getting the following error.  What  
have been your approaches to integrate Struts and Spring?
