I am using Spring 3.2.5 with no XML configuration. I am using the AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer to initialize my application and AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer to initialize spring security.
My application deploys and runs file with I use the VMware vFabric tc Server Developer Edition v2.9 that ships with Spring Tool Suite. However, when I deploy to a standard Tomcat 7.0.12 using jdk 1.7.0_21 as the JR

Here is my AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer code:
public class CrmWebApplicationInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {
@Override
protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
return new Class<?>[]{ServiceConfiguration.class,SecurityConfig.class,SocialContext.class};
}
@Override
protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
return new Class<?>[]{RestMvcConfiguration.class, WebMvcConfiguration.class};
}
@Override
protected String[] getServletMappings() {
return new String[]{"/"};
}
@Override
protected Filter[] getServletFilters() {
return new Filter[]{new HiddenHttpMethodFilter(), new MultipartFilter(), new OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter()};
}
@Override
protected void registerDispatcherServlet(ServletContext servletContext) {
super.registerDispatcherServlet(servletContext);
servletContext.addListener(new HttpSessionEventPublisher());
}
@Override
protected WebApplicationContext createRootApplicationContext() {
AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext appContext = (AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext)super.createRootApplicationContext();
String profile;
profile = "brett";
appContext.getEnvironment().setActiveProfiles(profile);
return appContext;
}
}
@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages={"com.auctionmanagermvc","com.hodeltech"})
@EnableWebMvc
@EnableHypermediaSupport
class RestMvcConfiguration extends RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration {
}
Any help you can give me as to how to get this application to start in Tomcat would be much appreciated. I am not having luck deploying to cloud vendors such as Heroku or Amazon Elastic Beanstalk due to this issue.
Thank you very much in advance!
EDIT: Adding AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer
public class CrmSecurityApplicationInitializer extends AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer {
/**
* Instruct Spring Security to use the {@link DispatcherServlet}'s
* {@link WebApplicationContext} to find the springSecurityFilterChain.
*/
@Override
protected String getDispatcherWebApplicationContextSuffix() {
return AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer.DEFAULT_SERVLET_NAME;
}
/**
* Insert the following filters before Spring Security. Be careful when inserting
* filters before Spring Security!
*/
@Override
protected void afterSpringSecurityFilterChain(ServletContext servletContext) {
// insertFilters(servletContext, new HiddenHttpMethodFilter(), new MultipartFilter() , new OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter());
}
/**
* Register the {@link HttpSessionEventPublisher}
*/
@Override
protected boolean enableHttpSessionEventPublisher() {
return true;
}
}
EDIT: One additional thing I noticed: When starting up using the vFabric server, it appeared as though spring scanned through all the classes twice. For example, I would put a logging statement in a configuration method and it would get output twice. When running under Tomcat, I am only seeing the logging statement once. I don't know if that has anything to do with this problem, but is an interesting difference I noticed.
So after more trial and error, I finally discovered what was causing the difference between Tomcat and VMware vFabric tc Server Developer Edition v2.9. vFabric is using Tomcat 7.0.47, and the Tomcat version I was using was 7.0.22. I also tried 7.0.40 running on Amazon Elastic Beanstalk, which also had a problem. But, upgrading to Tomcat 7.0.47 everything worked fine.
Thanks to all who looked into this issue.
