Answer 2

When I got this error message, it was merely because of a missing jar in my CLASSPATH. Some spring applications seem to be very hungry for spring jars. My app wound up needing all of these on the classpath:

${OTS_DIR}/org.springframework.aop-${VERSION}.jar:\
${OTS_DIR}/org.springframework.aspects-${VERSION}.jar:\
${OTS_DIR}/com.springsource.org.aopalliance-${AOPALLIANCE_VER}.jar:\
${OTS_DIR}/org.springframework.asm-${VERSION}.jar:\
${OTS_DIR}/org.springframework.beans-${VERSION}.jar:\
${OTS_DIR}/org.springframework.context-${VERSION}.jar:\
${OTS_DIR}/org.springframework.core-${VERSION}.jar:\
${OTS_DIR}/org.springframework.expression-${VERSION}.jar:\
${OTS_DIR}/org.springframework.jdbc-${VERSION}.jar:\
${OTS_DIR}/org.springframework.jms-${VERSION}.jar:\
${OTS_DIR}/org.springframework.orm-${VERSION}.jar:\
