Cannot deploy Spring App to Websphere

Question

I\'ve been developing an application to tomcat during development phase. As we\'re moving forward, my client wants to be deployed to websphere. I\'m attempting to do so on

Answer 1

I'm not terribly happy about my solution, but it works for the time being. Websphere's support of web.xml-less initialization is a bit sub-standard. Even replies from their techs were unhelpful. In the end I had to move a bit of the spring initialization to the web.xml. I was still able to configure most of my JPA, security, and Web features via config files, but I had to give Spring a bit of kickstart. Below is my altered web.xml for anyone that is interested. Thanks everyone for the help and guidance.
