I use Spring IoC in my stand-alone Java application. When the application starts it creates a log with start-up info. Some messages I don’t understand, please help me to understand them and explain how to fix them if they must be fixed? Also I am curious: Is there any danger for my application stability because of these messages?
Messages that scare me off starts with word “Unable”. At the moment the application works quite well.

This is just debug level output which you probably don’t need. Essentially it’s telling you that you haven’t defined any particular classes which override its default functionality, so it’s going to use the default functionality. There’s nothing to worry about here.
