When server start, application context loaded twice as you can see in log. When I am using Spring Scheduled annottation it runs twice because of my application context load twice. When I deleted contextLoadListener scheduler works nice (only one time), but this time web mvc doesn't work.

It's loaded twice because spring reads by default a file for the servlet dispatcher using the servlet name (employee-servlet.xml). To make spring don't load it twice you have to change the name of the contextConfigLocation file.
