Glassfish 3.1: spring error during deploy of web application

Strange thing: when I deploy the web application into GF 3.1 through the autodeploy directory, I recieve the following error. The deployment through the admin console works ok with the same war!

here is the exception:

NPE in the official release?? Isn't this the indicator of new bug in GF?

Piece of my web.xml:

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

Using the latest (3.0.2.RELEASE) version of Spring-web

Thanks.

Bug report is here : http://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-16237

turned out to be mistake with Spring dependency.

I was hoping this had a real solution. Because I also got this problem and my app doesn't use Spring at all! Just Weld/CDI + EJB in GlassFish 3.1.
