Answer 1

Add these files (whichever release you happen to be using) to

apache-tomcat-8.0.35\lib 

folder (and restart your server):

spring-aop-4.0.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-beans-4.0.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-context-4.0.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-core-4.0.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-expression-4.0.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-web-4.0.1.RELEASE.jar
spring-webmvc-4.0.1.RELEASE.jar
