找不到Spring WebApplicationInitializer

Question

I am developing Spring WS which was working fine, it looks like i messed something up because now all i get is HTTP 404 error with console:

INFO: No Spring WebApplicationInitializer types detected on classpath

Anyone have an idea what could be wrong? or where i should start checking? because i watched almost every xml and it looks ok.

If I were you I'd narrow your Java EE dependencies to just JPA - you don't need the whole of the javaee-api.jar for that. I would expect your JPA provider to pull in that dependency for you transitively (Hibernate does, or did last time I used it, for instance). That way there won't be a conflict between Tomcat's own libraries and those in your app.
