Spring Context Library Missing

[tgrosinger]

I attempting to use a properties file in my spring-context.xml. For example:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
       xmlns:c="http://www.springframework.org/schema/c"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
       xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.2.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-3.2.xsd">

    <context:property-placeholder location="classpath:/application.properties"/>

Once this has been done however, the following exception is thrown whenever submitting the Storm topology to a cluster:

storm jar storm-spring-sample-jar-with-dependencies.jar storm.contrib.spring.topology.TopologySubmitter spring/spring-context.xml exclamationTopologySubmission

If I add the spring-context.jar to storm/lib the above exception does not occur. I have verified that the jar-with-dependencies does contain the required spring-context classes, but they don't seem to be getting used.

Any ideas? Thanks
