Spring URL protocol doesn't like LDAPS?

I have configured the following beans in my application context:
<bean id="bindConnectionPool" parent="abstractConnectionPool"
p:connectionFactory-ref="bindConnectionFactory" />
<bean id="bindConnectionFactory"
class="org.ldaptive.DefaultConnectionFactory"
p:connectionConfig-ref="bindConnectionConfig" />
<bean id="bindConnectionConfig" parent="abstractConnectionConfig" />
<bean id="abstractConnectionConfig" abstract="true"
class="org.ldaptive.ConnectionConfig"
p:ldapUrl="ldaps://myldap.example.com:636"
p:connectTimeout="3000"
p:useStartTLS="true"
p:sslConfig-ref="sslConfig" />
<!-- EDIT/UPDATE: -->
<bean id="sslConfig" class="org.ldaptive.ssl.SslConfig">
<property name="credentialConfig">
<bean class="org.ldaptive.ssl.X509CredentialConfig"
p:trustCertificates="mycert" />
</property>
</bean>
When I deploy the WAR to Tomcat I get the following exception:
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean
with name ‘bindConnectionPool’ defined in ServletContext resource
[/WEB-INF/deployerConfigContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception
is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: path must start with either classpath: or file:
What do I need to change the LDAPS-based URL to? Neither file: nor classpath: make sense here...thoughts?
Or, is ldapUrl a red herring, and is there some other path defined on this bindConnectionPool bean that isn't configured right? Oh, and obviously, can't post the LDAP server's actual name for security reasons (myldap.example.com is a different value).

Unable to run 2 Spring MVC Maven hibernate web apps in same tomcat server

I started working on a 2nd Spring MVC maven hibernate project and wanted to re-use an existing working project as it had a lot of similar code and made sense not to start completely from scratch.
So, i created a maven archetype from the existing working Spring MVC project which uses hibernate however i cannot get my new web app to work on the same tomcat server.
The app simply returns a 404 error and the logs show the following error
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: src\main\resources\database\hbm\bannerItem.hbm.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)
The existing app still works fine.
I've tried the following..
Ensuring the build path is correct and showing the resource folder
Removing and re-adding the resource folder
Removing the reference to bannerItem.hbm.xml - cleaning etc etc - weirdly enough the error is still reported !
Removing the new archetype created project and simply taking a copy of the existing project and renaming project attributes - just to rule out an issue with the archetype creation, however the original problem persists.
Clearing the maven repo and re-downloading all libs just in case of some corruption somehow - this makes no difference.
Removed web modules from server configuration and cleaned - countless times - still no difference
Running project in difference workspace, same workspace, different tomcat instances.
Really hit a brick wall now and could use some help.
One thing i will mention is that i recall having a similar issue way back and when i removed the maven repo libs and re-downloaded them from within eclipse, it seemed to remove the issue above but then for some reason, my project would run, however jsp's would not render. I got round that issue by creating a new jsp and pasting the old jsp code in to the the new jsp, which fixed the issue - absolutely no idea why this fixed the issue but it did - tried this for this problem but this doesn't work, in that it isn't replacing the root 'resource' problem.
Hope someone can help here...happy to attach any code needed
Thanks
The full stack trace / log output is too verbose to paste in here, so here is the first and last of the output

I am trying to write a simple program to integrate GWT, SPRING and Hibernate. But when I try to run the program as a web Application using eclipse, I get the exception as mentioned above. I have added the code below for reference. Any kind of help will be great. Thanks in advance.

Note: I am not using maven. I downloaded the jars and included them in the build path.

You have 2 options:
1.- You could disable the Hibernate Validation:
setProperty("javax.persistence.validation.mode", "NONE");
2.- Add these dependencies, if you don't use maven then download the jars and add to your artifact manually:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.el</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.el-api</artifactId>
<version>2.2.4</version>
<scope>provided</scope> <!-- No required in JBoss but for test -->
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.el</artifactId>
<version>2.2.4</version>
<scope>provided</scope> <!-- No required in JBoss but for test -->
</dependency>

Looks like the API of SimpleJobRepository has changed between 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 (bad moment to introduce backward incompatible change IMHO).
The tutorial you are following uses Spring Batch 1.1.1 where the class above had a constructor with three parameters. Now it has four. The extra parameter is ExecutionContextDao.
Here is my completely untested solution:
<bean id="jobRepository" class="org.springframework.batch.core.repository.support.SimpleJobRepository">
<constructor-arg>
<bean class="org.springframework.batch.core.repository.dao.MapJobInstanceDao"/>
</constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg>
<bean class="org.springframework.batch.core.repository.dao.MapJobExecutionDao" />
</constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg>
<bean class="org.springframework.batch.core.repository.dao.MapStepExecutionDao"/>
</constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg> <!-- Extra constructor argument -->
<bean class="org.springframework.batch.core.repository.dao.MapExecutionContextDao"/>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
Never used Spring Batch, but perhaps you can use more recent tutorial (I don't recommend downgrading to 1.x)?

Error creating bean sessionFactory

I am integrating Spring with Hibernate. However, when I run the application I get an error like:
Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [resources/spring.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: Unable to get the default Bean Validation factory
My spring.xml looks like:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

</bean>
<bean id="myUserDAO" class="main.java.com.gwt.app.server.User">
<property name="sesionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>
</beans>
And the injection in class User is:
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[]{"resources/spring.xml"});
public void setSesionFactory(SessionFactory sesionFactory){
this.sesionFactory = sesionFactory;
this.sesion = this.sesionFactory.openSession();
}
The stacktrace is:

I am not using validation. It is the reason of not include the validation jar.
I do not know what happens, I would like someone could help me.
Thanks!

Hibernate raises an exception: throw new HibernateException( "Unable to get the default Bean Validation factory", e); if it can not access Bean Validation Framework (BeanValidationActivator).
So I guess the problem is that the Validation jars are missing.
For Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
<artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.GA</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
<version>4.0.2.GA</version>
</dependency>

Try adding following maven dependencies (or download the JAR's if you don't use Maven):
Hibernate Validator
Javax Validation
Other dependencies might also be required (consider to use Maven if you are not yet, to avoid issues like this)

Try once by adding this line to your hibernate.cfg.xml file
<property name="javax.persistence.validation.mode" value="none"/>

I have updated the Tomcat version from 8.5 to 9.0, it worked for me.
