ATUALIZAR: Isso parece ser causado pela ordem em que os beans primavera são descobertos e inicializados. Ainda não se sabe por que os servidores estão detectando os beans em ordens diferentes, mas fornece um caminho para corrigir isso.

Encontrei um problema intrigante ao tentar implantar um WAR no Tomcat 7 (AWS OpsWorks, Ubuntu 12.04, Tomcat 7.0.26, OpenJDK 1.7.0_65):

Depois de implantar o WAR, o Tomcat relata imediatamente um erro ao inicializar o contexto devido a uma exceção de mola automática no aplicativo que estou implantando. "org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: não foi possível autowire o campo ...".

A questão é que esse WAR funciona bem em todos os outros servidores em que eu o carreguei. Até copiei o diretório de aplicativos webapps descompactado (do servidor afetado) para outro servidor com a mesma versão java e tomcat sem problemas.

Reiniciar o servidor, reimplementar e reiniciar o tomcat não parece ter nenhum efeito. Continua me dando o mesmo erro de aplicativo de primavera.

Alguma recomendação sobre como depurar isso? O arquivo de log padrão do Tomcat com configurações de saída FINE não fornece muitos detalhes além do erro de mola do aplicativo.
