I started with a working Spring configured Web application and have been adding a Spring profile to the beans tag in the Spring context configuration files :
<beans profile="MyProfile"
From web.xml
<!-- Default Spring profile -->
<param-name>spring.profiles.default</param-name>
<param-value>MyProfile</param-value>
<filter>
<filter-name>applicationFilterChain</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy
</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>applicationFilterChain</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
I now get the following exception, and I'm not sure how to resolve this.
