But i have added spring-web-mvc to my class path which does contain this class file.

How did you add something to your CLASSPATH?

If you're creating a web app, the only appropriate thing is to put .class files under WEB-INF/classes and .jar files under WEB-INF/lib. If you did anything else, I'd say that it's wrong. Modifications of the startup script should not be done; local environment variables will be ignored and unlikely to be set on the server you deploy to.

UPDATE:

If you tell me that you've done everything right according to your IDE, I'd recommend one last check: Look at the zipped or exploded WAR file that you actually deploy to Tomcat and make sure that you can see the JAR with the .class file that the error mentions. If it's not part of the WAR, you have to figure out what went wrong with your packaging. If you think the JAR is there, open it and find the .class and check the path.

You have to believe the error message you see. Instead of saying "I'm doing everything right", it's better to say "What have I missed?"

A ClassNotFoundException suggests that you don't have Spring on the classpath. Make sure it's in your WAR's lib directory.

Also, make sure you also have commons-logging.jar in your classpath. Spring depends on this.
