I currently don't have access to the server to check catalina_home/lib
contents, but I do have the webapp.war here. So I did a grep for the
ContextLoaderListener and it turns out there are 2 libraries in my
web-inf/lib containing a class definition for that:

spring-2.5.6.jar and spring-web-2.5.6.jar

Maybe one is interfering with the other
