java.lang.IllegalStateException: No WebApplicationContext found: no ContextLoaderListener registered?

Question

This the file web.xml in WEB-INF

Answer 1

You have both ContextLoaderServlet and DispatcherServlet set to load-on-startup = 1. That means either one of them could start first, and you need the ContextLoaderServlet to start first, since that's what creates the root WebApplicationContext that your error says is missing. So leave ContextLoaderServlet's load-on-startup at 1, and change the DispatcherServlet's to 2 or higher.

Actually, it's preferred to use ContextLoaderListener instead of the Servlet unless you're on a really old container where the Listener doesn't work properly.
