Answer 1

This exception come due to you are providing listener ContextLoaderListener

<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

but you are not providing context-param for your spring configuration file. like applicationContext.xml You must provide below snippet for your configuration

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

If You are providing the java based spring configuration , means you are not using xml file for spring configuration at that time you must provide below code:

<!-- Configure ContextLoaderListener to use AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext
instead of the default XmlWebApplicationContext -->
<context-param>
    <param-name>contextClass</param-name>
    <param-value>
    org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext
    </param-value>
</context-param>

<!-- Configuration locations must consist of one or more comma- or space-delimited
fully-qualified @Configuration classes. Fully-qualified packages may also
be specified for component-scanning -->
<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>com.nirav.modi.config.SpringAppConfig</param-value>
</context-param>
