title: untime - Template processing error: "No mapping defined for spring framework tags
body: <p>My current development environment is java 6, spring framework 3.2, weblogic 10.3.6 and using Freemarker templates. Everything is working fine in current environment, don't see any runtime issues while browsing pages.</p>
  
  <p>IDE: eclipse kepler 4.3 and I am running weblogic server from eclipse IDE. My deployment assembly is from m2e plugin that comes with kepler.</p>
  
  <p>Now I am upgrading to latest Weblogic 12.1.2 and java 7. I am able to successfully build, deploy and publish the module but while accessing pages, I see runtime issues with freemarker templates.</p>
  
  <p>There is a related issue discussed in forum for tomcat deployment wherein solution is to add spring-security-taglibs to pom file and place spring-security-taglibs.jar in WEB-INF/lib folder. But that does not work for me.</p>
  
  <p>Greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue. I see many freemarker template exception related postings but not solution. </p>
  
  <p>Below is the runtime error, I am seeing.</p>
