I have web application using SpringFramework3.0.3.RELEASE, developed in Eclipse with m2eclipse plugin and deployed into Tomcat6.0.26. I can run it from Eclipse, but when copy target WAR int same tomcat instance ( removing WTP webapp first ) and restart I see following exception:

Is anybody know what is the problem and how to fix it?
Pascal’s answer contains a link to useful ‘Logging Dependencies in Spring’ article. It describes how to override old commons-logging jar and to use slf4j or log4j. The problem was that log4j conflicted with commons-logging. Excluding it from maven dependencies of spring-context, solved the issue. However, I still don’t understand why the issue was with manual deploy only and doesn’t happened if the webapp is run from Eclipse?
