BeanFactory not initialized or already closed

[Alok Sharan]

Hi,

I am using JSF/Seam with Spring in my application. My application is deployed over apache-tomcat. The problem I am facing is - After some time interval I access my application, following error appears in the log and the application stops responding. I tried to google the issue but mostly the response talks about deployment issue. I do not see it as a deployment issue in my case. Any pointer will be appreciated.
