Deploy Spring MVC in WSO2 Application Server

Question

I am trying to deploy my Spring MVC application on WSO2 Application Server by going to Main > Manage > Applications > Add > Web Applications and upload my Spring MVC's WAR file. The upload completed successfully, but I still can't run the web app itself. The error message just basically complaining it doesn't have org.springframework.

The same WAR file can be run on Apache Tomcat with no problem at all. All I did is dropping the same WAR file to \webapps, and it works.

Is there a special setting that needs to be configured to get Spring MVC run on WSO2 Application Server? I would assume WSO2 Application is also using Apache Tomcat, so why it won't run by just uploading the WAR file?

Thanks!

What is your WSO2 AS version ? please make sure to use latest AS 5.1.0 version. We have tested large number of Spring (including SpringMVC) based applications on AS 5.1.0, basically if something working on Tomcat it should be work on WSO2 AS too. If you still have issues on AS 5.1.0 please let me know.
