Dears, I'm experiencing and issue that the application context loader class for spring web application is not loaded when the ear application starts, there is no error message or any exception thrown.

I have a the listener register in web xml as follow

<listener>

              <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>

  </listener>

Also I have the context PARAM to point to the application configurations

<context-param>

              <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>

              <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>

</context-param>

Also I have the below enabled features.

       <featureManager>

              <feature>appSecurity-2.0</feature>

              <feature>el-3.0</feature>

              <feature>jndi-1.0</feature>

              <feature>jsp-2.3</feature>

              <feature>ldapRegistry-3.0</feature>

              <feature>managedBeans-1.0</feature>

              <feature>servlet-3.1</feature>

              <feature>jdbc-4.2</feature>

              <feature>transportSecurity-1.0</feature>

              <feature>jsf-2.0</feature>

       </featureManager>

Also I have disabled the lazy initializes by adding the below in server xml

<webContainer deferServletLoad="false"/>
