Spring app won't deploy because ApplicationContext class is not found

[P Remec]

I'm trying to deploy Spring app, packaged as EAR, on Wildfly 10 server, but there's a 'ClassNotFoundException' thrown:

I assume there's a problem with packaging / class loading or there's some configuration file missing, but I can't find out what's wrong since I don't have a lot of experience with deployment configuration.

Anyway, my EAR structure looks like that:



What am I missing?

Any help would be much appreciated. Let me know if some additional info is required.

EDIT: Tried to deploy it on Glassfish 4.1.1 and it worked without any problems, so it must be some Wildfly specific thing.

Can you confirm that your manifest.mf file mentions the spring jars?

Manifest.mf file of war mentions the spring jars. Is that ok? Maybe I don't understang the whole packaging thing...
