runtime weaver error in spring annotations based dynamic web project

I am trying to create a simple app using spring annotations.I am new to spring. I am getting below error when I execute the project. I tried to follow an article here

http://gamemoviesmusic.blogspot.com/2009/06/setting-eclipselink-11-and-spring-256.html

to implement EclipseLink JPA implementation.Its implemented as standalone java application and similar error was gone when I put the runtime weaver in the Run configuration Arguments tab VM arguments as such...

-javaagent:D:\devtools\spring-framework-2.5.6.SEC01\dist\weaving\spring-agent.jar

as per the article.

Now I am doing a web application and getting same error.Do I need to pass the above configuration to server and if yes how do I do that ?

my XML configuration in dispatcher-servlet.xml looks like

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop" xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-3.0.xsd">

and below is the trace in console

Could anyone help me?

Are you using AOP for your beans, probably for transaction demarcation ? If No,

please remove

because those are indicating spring to do load time aspect weaving and it's failing because Tomcat's classloader does not support the method addTransformer.

If Yes,

Probably you will have to follow the instructions given at http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/api/org/springframework/instrument/classloading/tomcat/TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader.html

or

and if you are ok with runtime proxy based AOP, you can go ahead with simpler method described at http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/reference/transaction.html (Section 9.5 onwards)
