Cannot initialize context because there is already a root application context present

Question

My project uses tapestry 5.3.0,spring 3.0.6.RELEASE,hibernate 3.6.8.FINAL and maven.When I intruct jetty to start the project with mvn jetty:run, I get the following:

2011-12-13 16:15:42.947:WARN::failed app: java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception     constructing service 'ApplicationContext': Cannot initialize context because there is  already a root application context present - check whether you have multiple ContextLoader*  definitions in your web.xml!

If you need anything else of the source code files,tell me and I'll post them

Ideas,anyone?

Answer 1

You should remove the ContextLoaderListener from the web.xml. The following is from the Tapestry Spring integration page.

Please omit the part about creating a ContextLoaderListener: this is now done automatically by Tapestry.
