Answer 1

This line in the stacktrace says it all:

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/context/EnvironmentAware Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.context.EnvironmentAware

You need to add spring-context to your pom.xml file if using Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.3.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Note the version may vary depending on your project

Answer 2

I agree with Kevin that in your case the class files are missing. So you will have to place the JARs containing these class files. However I have faced this problem on Linux servers. The problem was related to file permission issue. In this case it was difficult to catch the issue as the error messages or logs didn't clearly indicate the problem. Usually Linux is good when it comes to permission issue. I was creating the WAR files as root user but was running jboss server as jboss user. Finally I had to "sudo -su jboss" (user with which Jboss server was running) and create/deploy my artifacts.
