Answer 1

I assume you don't have the spring-beans jar in your classpath. Can you check that ?

Answer 2

Did you set your spring dependency as provided in Maven then provide it via lib folder on Tomcat? Cross check you have matching version of Spring, and all required dependencies are there

If you set it to compile, check your Tomcat lib folder for spring dependencies, having duplicate spring jars of conflicting version might also cause issue

Answer 3

Found the problem.

The dependency: spring-modules-validation was adding a Spring2.0.3.jar in the classpath.

I've had to exclude it from maven dependency
