How can i resolve context initialization failed?

Question

Getting an exception when deploying the code.I tried with many possibilities but couldn't resolve this issue. Is this happening because of maven dependencies? Some one can help me to get out of from this issue.

    org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader - Context initialization failed

Answer 1

The main cause of your error is:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/util/DTDEntityResolver

So you have to add hibernate-<version>.jar to your classpath.
