Initialization of bean failed when creating a Camel context in Spring

I am having trouble creating a plain Camel context in a web application using Spring. I've created a new maven project and deleted my maven repositories before recreating the issue. The only files in the project apart from the ones added by Maven are InitialContext.xml, web.xml and pom.xml. The initial context file looks like: web.xml ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"> <display-name>CamelSpring</display-name> <context-param> <param-name> contextConfigLocation </param-name> <param-value> /WEB-INF/InitialContext.xml </param-value> </context-param> <listener> <listener-class> org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener </listener-class> </listener> </web-app> ``` InitialContext.xml ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?> <beans
