SEVERE: Error listenerStart

[Nishan Patel]

Hello every one,

I am using Tomcat 5.0 with Spring, Log4j, Jsp and Servlet. But when I tried to start my server I found problem SEVERE: Error listenerStart ..

Please help me... ASAP.

This could be anything - basically it's just the Spring container saying it couldn't start. You'll need to look through the Tomcat logs to find the cause.

can this be caused by ....missing of any jar files???
me to stuck with this problem....

hello nishal...how did you solved that problem??

A very frequent problem.
As Nathan Pruett has already mentioned, it is because of Spring container launching as listener (specified in web.xml) cannot be started.
To know the exact reason of this failure you have to look through spring logs. As spring uses commons-logging (not log4j) as its default you have to tell him to use log4j.
This can be done by creating file commons-logging.properties on the classpath and entering there the following line:

org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger

After that don't forget to specify the logging level for spring in your log4j.properties:

log4j.logger.org.springframework=debug

Hi Devan,

we have problem because of Jar version. In our development environment one developer use higher version jar and at the same thing when we are configure to out system it shows error. So, just change and make Jar version same, JDK same , tomcat same solve the problem.
