Hi All,

I'm running Spring project in Jboss 5.0. I built the project from Maven and copied .war file to the deploy directory.
When server is starting Following error is printed in server log.

Hi All,

I spot the issue and I still find the reason why this all.

First I removed codes and compile and then run. At one point project compiled and deployed successfully in Jboss.
I could start jboss without any error message(specially above mentioned message).
What I found is in my POM.xml I have dependency for Hibernate like this

 <dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.1.GA</version>
</dependency>

When I removed this dependency from POM.xml everything worked fine. No errors in server startup.
But Still Im finding the reason and this details might help to someone.

Regards,
Dilan.
