I am using Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.
The webapplication which i am trying to deploy has the log4j jar in its WEB-INF/lib folder. I am not sure why glassfish is failing to deploy the application where as its working fine in tomcat5.5.
since its very urgent someone please help me.
Thanks
J Suk

Just a guess, but such differences in behaviour between two servers with the same war, is usually due to differences in their ClassLoader hierarchies. Maybe you can try putting all dependencies, including spring fw, in WEB-INF/lib. And ensure these jars are not duplicated in GLASSFISH/lib or GLASSFISH/domains/domain1/lib.

Already the WEB-INF/lib contains all the Spring fw jars and I checked thre is not duplication of these jars in glassfish lib folders.
still its the same stack trace.
