Neven, You¹re a genius. The web.xml was fine but you got me thinking about spring configuration.
We had one of our young guys run into an issue with spring. He implemented some work around and nobody bothered checking because it was minor bit of code on the periphery of the app. Anyway I searched the code base and bingo there it was stuck in the constructor, ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml²); Each time the class was instantiated another spring context was created. Lesson learnt, always check code you before accepting. Code changed, tested and fixed. Thanks again for the suggestion.
