Excecption upon start of tomcat server with spring application

All of a sudden started to get following error upon starting the server.
Switched from java 1.8 to java 1.7 but no luck...

Any pointer to debug this issue?

Context was loading manually(Java Code) from code for fetching a bean, removing which resolved the issue.
However my problem is solved but still not sure how it was working with last version of spring boot.

Websphere - application error during start

I have an issue during start of application. I made a WAR file which runs in tomcat well. But i need to deploy it into websphere application server (8.5.5.4). JVM edited - installed IBM java 1.7 and xmx to 1,8GB.
After deploy of application code below can be found in logs

WebAppConfiguration doesn't play well with ContextConfiguration?

I have an existing Java app using Spring MVC 3.2.1. The existing unit tests all work fine. Now I'm trying to a new unit test, using the #WebAppConfiguration annotation for the first time, and it's blowing up with a wacky error.
Here's my new unit test, taken almost verbatim from this page:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#WebAppConfiguration
#ContextConfiguration(locations={"classpath:war-test-context.xml"})
#Transactional
public class GenericPageControllerTest {
#Autowired
private WebApplicationContext webApplicationContext;
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#Before
public void setup() {
this.mockMvc = webAppContextSetup(this.webApplicationContext).build();
}
#Test
public void testControllerSecurityTestThingyTestWithALongNameTest() throws Exception {
this.mockMvc.perform(get("/payOptions.html"))
.andExpect(redirectedUrl("/login.html"));
}
}
Here's the error I'm getting:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext

Other tests using just the #ContextConfiguration annotation find this file and instantiate this bean just fine. Can anyone tell me why the #WebAppConfiguration bean is making it throw up? Here's the configuration section it's telling me won't work:
<jdbc:embedded-database id="caDataSource" type="HSQL">
<jdbc:script location="database/myapp_schema.sql"/>
<jdbc:script location="database/myapp_data.sql"/>
</jdbc:embedded-database>
The files are on the classpath, but they're in a different project - that might be the only wrinkle. Anyone got any ideas, or handy links?

Looks like this is the reason.
When you use WebApplicationContext you lose the ability to use classpath: configuration or other stuff, and are limited to whatever's in /src/main/webapp (or another location as provided).
WebAppContext javadoc is here.

including hibernate-validator breaks existing hibernate configuration

I am writing a java module in which I have used hibernate validator. The module works fine by itself.
However when it is included as part of a parent project which uses hibernate for standard entity mapping as an ORM, the parent module breaks down by complaining that it is unable to set up the validation factory (and thus fails to setup the session factory).
exception message is "Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: Unable to get the default Bean Validation factory"
-Pulkit
EDIT:
hibernate-validator : 4.3.1.Final
hibernate-core : 3.6.5
