Spring hangs

Hi,

I am using Tomcat 6.0. I got the following so rare scenario.

I started the tomcat 6.0, but it hangs at the following :

...
13216 [main] INFO org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean - Loading properties file from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/application.properties]
...

The application.properties is located at WEB-INF/application.properties

And the definition in the spring xml is
<util:properties id="app_props" location="WEB-INF/application.properties"/>

Please help why the tomcat hangs at the above line.

Thanks
Benson

I don't think it is actually hanging at that line. If there is anything wrong with Spring it throws an exception, but you are not seeing the exception in your console. So I am going to guess it is in the Tomcat log file. Go to your TOmcat directory and find the log file and open it up and look for your exception stack trace, then post it here.

My guess is that it couldn't find the properties file.
