I am getting below exception on deploying Spring 4.0.1 app in Tomcat 6.0.37:
SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

Is the error because of spring-beans and spring-webmvc depends on EL 2.2.4 version whereas Tomcat 6 comes with EL 2.1. If so, how to resolve it? Also, I do not have rights to update libs in Tomcat dir.
The error has nothing to do with the EL. It has all to do with the javax.validation api and hibernate.
java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ConfigurationImpl.getDefaultParameterNameProvider()Ljavax/validation/ParameterNameProvider
Hibernate validator 4.3.x is an implementation of javax.validation 1.0 (JSR-303). However you are including the 1.1 API version. Either downgrade the included javax.validation version or upgrade your hibernate validator to 5.0.x.
Check to see if there are multiple references to validator in your pom file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
<version>${hibernate-val.version}</version>
</dependency>
