I am having a strange issue with a Spring web application. This is from the Tomcat log:
GRAVE: Exception lors de l'envoi de l'évènement contexte initialisé (context initialized) à l'instance de classe d'écoute (listener) org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

I have seen similar questions on SO, but none related to java/lang/Object.class. I hae no idea what is causing this.
This is my web.xml:

Here is my WebConfig class:
@EnableWebMvc
@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.jverstry", "org.krams"})
@ImportResource("WEB-INF/spring-security.xml")
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
@Bean
public ViewResolver getViewResolver() {
InternalResourceViewResolver resolver
= new InternalResourceViewResolver();
resolver.setPrefix("WEB-INF/pages/");
resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
return resolver;
}
}
It turns out my JRE6 installation was somehow corrupted. I reinstalled it manually and now I don’t have an issue anymore. I have also found another post which might explain why the issue would disappear after rebooting.
