The line which is root of the problem contain:

javaxInjectProviderClass = cl.loadClass("javax.inject.Provider");

And it seems that cl (DefaultListableBeanFactory.class.getClassLoader()) is null, which means that DefaultListableBeanFactory was loaded by ApplicationClassLoader and not Tomcat’s WebApp or Shared classloader.

Maybe you’ve put spring-beans-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar into endorsed directory, or somewhere inside Java installation?
