I created a Spring MVC web application following this tutorial: http://www.journaldev.com/2433/spring-mvc-tutorial-for-beginners-with-spring-tool-suite

I am able to access it using the built-in server in the STS. Now, I want to deploy and test my web application using tomcat devloader plugin in eclipse. When I try to run it using tomcat I get this error:

Do you have any idea what may have cause this error and how to possibly solve this?

Thanks.

You have forgot to add some library to the bin. - Zeus
What libraries should I be adding? - jaypax123
as per google spring-web.jar - Zeus
I added that library now along with 3 other spring libraries namely, spring-beans,spring-context and spring-core. Now I get a different error: SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory - jaypax123

As you keep getting these NoClassDefFoundError /CLassNotFound exceptions try to copy the first line which is 'org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory' and google it appending .jar at the very end. You will not know what jar to include.

The spring-web.jar from here and add it to the classpath. Also just make sure your server classpath has included the Spring jar library.Also include commons loggings.jar
