Answer 1

My guess would be deleting spring.jar and spring-1.2.6.jar ; they conflict with spring*3.0.3.RELEASE.jars

Answer 2

You have a lot of duplicated jars there:

antlr
jta
mysql-connector
javassist
mssqlserver

I would make sure you only have one of each before continuing, work out which version you need and include that one.

If you are not sure how to do this, let us know how you are importing your dependencies.

It would also be helpful to see the stacktrace you are seeing and a simplified Spring context that causes the error.

If you look at this question: JasperException: absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved

You need to make sure you have the right version of JSTL, maybe once you remove the duplicate JSTL it may fix that error.
