Question

As far as I’m concerned Spring is integrated in Apache Tomcat. Although, when trying to implement session beans, I’ve encountered an error

The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'aop:scoped-proxy'.

on the declaration of bean:

<bean id="loginStorer" class="sef.inerfaces.service.LoginStorer" scope="session">
    <aop:scoped-proxy/>
</bean>

As I googled up, that may be because spring-aop.jar is not present in classpath. So, I guess I have to take it from a standalone Spring installation. My question is: am I right to do so, and if yes, what else from Spring is missing in Tomcat?

P.S. Tomcat is of 7.0.6 version.

Consider using Maven for dependency resolution and build.

As for your assumption, it is incorrect. Tomcat does not bundle Spring out of the box.
