If i remove this bean from my xml it will build and deploy fine:

<bean id="sessionFactory"
        class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"></property>
    </bean>

The rest of my xml content is this:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:jee="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans

    <!-- http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee/spring-jee-2.0.xsd -->

    <!-- Config properties files -->



    <!-- Hibernate database stuff -->


    <bean id="fileDownload" class="com.kc.models.FileManipulator"></bean>

    <bean id="propertyConfigurer"
        class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
        <property name="locations">
            <list>
                <value>properties/jdbc.properties</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>


    <bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
        <property name="driverClassName" value="${database.driver}" />
        <property name="url" value="${database.url}" />
        <property name="username" value="${database.user}" />
        <property name="password" value="${database.password}" />
        <property name="maxActive" value="${database.maxConnections}" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="sessionFactory"
        class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"></property>
    </bean>



    <!--

    <bean id="hibernateTemplate" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate">
        <property name="sessionsFactory" ref="sessionFactory"></property>
    </bean>


     -->
</beans>

Answer 1

It appears that your war file is corrupted. Try re-creating it. And try opening it with a zip program (like winrar)
