I have deleted many jars, which I thought, are repetitive.
My question is whether all these jars are exactly enough or are there duplicates?
Please help, this 404 is killing me...

You have a lot of duplicated jars there:
antlr
jta
mysql-connector
javassist
mssqlserver
I would make sure you only have one of each before continuing, work out which version you need and include that one.
If you are not sure how to do this, let us know how you are importing your dependencies.
It would also be helpful to see the stacktrace you are seeing and a simplified Spring context that causes the error.
If you look at this question: JasperException: absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved
You need to make sure you have the right version of JSTL, maybe once you remove the duplicate JSTL it may fix that error.

My guess would be deleting spring.jar and spring-1.2.6.jar ; they conflict with spring*3.0.3.RELEASE.jars
And my two cents would be using maven when working with spring framework.

javax.comm.properties should be placed in the JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext see details.
The first step for using this package is placing the proper files in
respective JAVA_HOME’s directory folders.
1) win32com.dll : keep it in JAVA_HOME’s bin directory. In my case I
placed it here C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\jre\bin
2)comm.jar : place it in JAVA_HOME’s lib\ext directory. Mine was in
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\jre\lib\ext
3)javax.comm.properties : same as above. So this file goes in
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\jre\lib\ext

#Real comments "from stacktrace it is clear by any how XmlWebApplicationCentext class is not reachable. I guess jar is not in class path" helped me and I solved the problem by adding spring-web dependency.

Adding spring-web to dependencies didn't work for me. As a workaround I downgraded to CXF 2.5.0

Check if you have tomcat-coyote.jar in $CATALINA_BASE/shared/lib/ folder. If exist somehow its not being loaded to classpath while starting server. Check you have this line in conf/catalina.properties
server.loader=${catalina.home}/server/classes,${catalina.home}/server/lib/*.jar
If yes then may be you need to update. What enviornment you are using.

I think the issue is more of the jar versions you are using or jars you are in your class path. It is trying to point to in correct class version due to which the required method is unavailable. Which all jars are already set in your classpath?

You are not missing any jars. Otherwise you would have got ClassNotFound exception. The NoSuchMethodError indicates that the jars are not compatible. Did you by any chance change(or copy from different location) the jar files in /lib, espcially jasper*.jar, tomcat-coyote?

Hibernate Utils failing to run in JSP Page

The mentioned class is missing in the runtime classpath. It must be in the runtime classpath as a standalone class file (.class) or packaged in a JAR file (.jar).
By default the webapp's myWebapp/WEB-INF/lib and myWebapp/WEB-INF/classes folders are covered by the runtime classpath.
Any 3rd party webapp-specific JAR files ought to be placed in myWebapp/WEB-INF/lib. Any webapp-specific classes (servlets, etc..) ought to be placed in myWebapp/WEB-INF/classes.
Check if you have place proper .class files and .jar when deploying.
Hope this helps.
