Hi all,
I am deploying a web application to Tomcat 6. When I am working on my servlets and tomcat starts a context reload, I get this error.

SEVERE: Exception processing TLD META-INF/spring-form.tld in JAR at resource path C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.10\webapps\RecycleNowInteractive\WEB-INF\lib\spring.jar in context /RecycleNowInteractive

Here's how I setup spring in web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>SpringContextServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderServl et</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
In my applicationContext.xml file I setup toplink like this


<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.toplink.LocalSessionFactor yBean">
<property name="configLocation" value="toplink-sessions.xml"/>
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
</bean>


<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.toplink.TopLinkTransaction Manager">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory"/>
</bean>

The Toplink session factory needs Oracle's xmlparserv2.jar, but that's what is causing my context reload error. When I take the SpringContextServlet out of my web.xml and remove xmlparserv2.jar from my classpath I can debug my servlets just fine. I'd like to use Spring and Toplink though with Tomcat 6. Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
