An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for spring/context: Could not load file or assembly 'Spring.Web' or one of its dependencies.
As I was integrating Spring.NET via NuGet, I had difficulties in referencing the assemblies to work with an ASP.NET MVC application. Such that I encountered the error specifically in web.config namespace Spring.Context.Support.WebContextHandler . The workaround for this issue is to uninstall the Spring.NET which I installed earlier through NuGet and instead download Spring.NET1.3.1 from Spring Framework website and reference the assemblies below to my project. List of assemblies: Spring.Core.dll Spring.Data.dll Spring.Web.dll Spring.Web.Mvc.dll Common.Logging.dll
