Answer

I had to add the spring-context-support JAR to my project for it to work. Here's the Maven pom.xml entry:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-context-support</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.4.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Question 2

I have a big web application that uses FreeMarker. When I recently updated to Spring 3.2.4 and ran the web app via jetty or tomcat I get the following exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.ui.freemarker.FreeMarkerConfigurationFactory.

I know that Spring-webmvc has the FreeMarkerConfigurationFactory class in it so I have the dependency included in my POM. I do not know why I´m getting the exception. I have included my POM and my spring servlet.
