I am trying to deploy a Activiti mail task in eclipse. I have all my beans defined in a view-resolver-servlet.xml file. However, I am getting this weird error:

SEVERE: Context initialization failed

Could you help me figure out this error? I am using this for a web application.

My web.xml file is:

  • Right from your question, IOException parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml] . Commented Jul 8, 2015 at 10:37
  • I dont have applicationContext.xml file and have not defined it anywhere in the project Commented Jul 8, 2015 at 10:39
  • can you post your web.xml ? it looks like you have not referred to your applicationContext.xml in your web.xml. should have: <context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value> </context-param> within the web.xml.
