Basically, I've written a springMVC
application (with a relatively shotgun my way first-timer approach with regards to Spring). The project works fine on Tomcat 6. My Tomcat server doesn't start and throws the following exception:

I'm really not sure what this is referring to, I'm more than happy to show any code etc but I don't really know what it's referring to. Below is my pom.xml just in case that might be of relevance.
