BeanDefinitionStoreException

[kkiwan]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
<bean id="templateGenerator" class="com.ps.util.TemplateGenerator">
<property name="freemarkerConfig">
<ref local="freemarkerConfig"/>
</property>
</bean>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a fragment of applicationContext.xml.
When I try to load my bean, I'm getting BeanDefinitionStoreException.

Here is a fragment of the error message :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can someone help me solving this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like you are missing the log4j.jar file in your web application's lib folder. You should have a copy of this jar when you downloaded the source code for spring.
