I am using spring framework with ant builds. there is no problem with application, builds and DB. Also My context path are right.

I think there's some more messages that should have displayed before the first line you've posted.

If there weren't, check the localhost log. Sometime messages go there instead of to catalina.out.

[Ben Souther]

INFO: validateJarFile(C:\DealerSites\fddealersites\prj\out\fddealermaint_war\WEB-INF\lib\servlet-api.jar)

It looks like you've included your own copy of servlet-api.jar in your app, possibly one from a different version of the servlet spec than the one for the version of Tomcat that you're using.

Try removing that jar from your app. Tomcat has it's own copy in tomcat/lib (or tomcat/common/lib if older than version 6).

After removing INFO: validateJarFile(C:\DealerSites\fddealersites\prj\out\fddealermaint_war\WEB-INF\lib\servlet-api.jar) I restart tomcat and found this...

[William Brogden]

I think I would start by checking for XML formatting errors in the web.xml for the contexts which are failing.

[Ulf Dittmer]

The "Error listenerStart" might indicate problems with any context listeners there might be.

[Tim Holloway]

I still recommend looking at the localhost logfile. This message isn't that uncommon, and I don't recall any instances I've had where there wasn't more detailed information somewhere.

Getting the servelt-api jar out was a good start though. I hope there's no servlet-impl jar in the WAR.
