Hi,

I am trying to deploy an Hibernate+Spring application, and I'm getting this cglib error. The file cglib-2.1.jar is in the WEB-INF/lib directory, and that class exists inside it. I couldn't figure why I'm getting this error when I try to start it, in tomcat 6.

The log says:

SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/application-context/hibernate.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class net.sf.cglib.core.DebuggingClassWriter
