    You are using Spring 2.5 and but in your xml file are using Spring 3.0 schema files. Obviously that is never going to work. Either use 2.5 as the version or remove the version all together. Commented May 26, 2015 at 13:59

A simple careless mistake. As Deinum said in comment.. There is Spring 3.0 schema files in web.xml but using Spring 2.5. I changed my pom.xml to get Spring 3.0 jars and it worked fine.

I'd suggest you to clean your deployed files of the server, and then re-deploy again (dont forget to publish).
