Answer 1

In this particular case you should include commons-logging-1.1.1.jar in your client classpath. Spring-Core depends on it.

In general I suggest you to use Maven or similar tool to manage your dependencies.

Answer 2

Sounds like you are missing very important spring-web jar file. Add this to your pom file to fix this issue.

     <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.6.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
