This is because that spring-2.0.7.jar is not included in your class path. It should reside in side the lib directory under WEB-INF folder.
WEB-INF
|
— lib
|
—– spring-2.0.7.jar

or to any such location where class loader looks before running the application.

Hi,
I am using eclipse. My spring.jar is under WEB-INF/lib/runtime.
