REVERT TO CONSOLE

I’ve been getting startup errors trying to deploy this spring MVC application:

SEVERE: Error listenerStart

I can’t find the error in the logs since this is a container start up error.

Here’s what I did:

• Prequisite: attach the spring src
• Put a breakpoint in the ContextLoaderListener:
  in the spring jar on the build path, find org.springframework.web.context and the ContextLoaderListener class. Set a breakpoint at line 49, which will read this.contextLoader.initWebApplicationContext(event .getServletContext());
• When it reaches the breakpoint, you can Step Over it once, and then check your variables for a BeanInitializationException object named “t”. Then you can find the source of the problem in the exception.

If only more things in life were so easy…
