java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener in eclipse

Question

I am doing a simple Spring MVC application(not using maven) which will print hello world on browser. It is a dynamic project in eclipse, so I put all the required jar files

Answer 1

It's a dependency problem, some dependencies are missing in the artifact. My solution in IntelliJ:

Right Click on project name ->open module settings -> problems -> add missing dependencies to the artifact

Restart the server (my case was tomcat)

Hope it helps
