I am building a JAX-WS web service in Java 8 and using Spring 4.2.6 and Hibernate 5.1 with it. But when I am deploying my project on tomcat, I am encountering following exception. I have googled the same and none of the stackoverflow post has been helpful.

I have been struggling with this error for whole day. I don't know what am I missing here.
UPDATE The error comes upon execution of following line in my java file.
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");
