SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener
In most cases, the described problem is caused by an error inside the application contex file (the applicationContext.xml file, or xxx-servlet.xml.) For instance, a bean definition contains a property that does not map to a setter on the actual class, a “property-placeholder” points to a location that is not found, or, the XML itself is invalid, etc. Unless you configure Tomcat logging to output Spring log statements, you won’t see the details.
