That's very normal. You have an application listener that loads a the context, and you have a servlet that loads on startup and loads the context also. Remove load on startup from the servlet declaration in web.xml. You web.xml will become tike this :

        index.jsp
    

    
        dispatcher
        org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
        
            contextConfigLocation
            /WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml
        

    

    
        dispatcher
        *.html
    


    
        contextConfigLocation
        /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
    

    
        org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
    

    
        log4jConfigLocation
        /WEB-INF/classes/log4j.xml
    

    
        org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener
