Answer 1

make sure these files xml files are properly deployed and are in the right location - i.e. WEB-INF/classes/spring
try finding out which is the offending definition - e.g. get rid of the OpenSessionInViewFilter and see if it starts properly.
prefer lower-case folder names - spring instead of Spring (and applicationContext instead of ApplicationContext). That shouldn't interfere, but looks counter-conventional
in general, avoid OSIV - you don't need it, if you properly manage your entities and/or use DTOs.
