[Springframework-developer] Re: [Commons Validator] Error on Startup

[Rob M. <Rob...@pe...>]

Hey, Matt,

I ran into something similar -- perhaps it is the issue you are facing. 
If you are running in a container that doesn't follow the Servlet 2.4 
initialization order you will not be able to use the 
ContextLoaderListener. Instead, you'll need to use the 
ContextLoaderServlet and ensure that it loads before the 
DispatcherServlet. When I came across this it was manifested by a failed 
dependency -- that is, the reference I expected to be available wasn't 
in the context so configuration failed.

HTH,

Rob
