Please read the manual carefully - when you say "The only way I was able to make the multiple aar files work was by moving the jar files in to the individual aar files" , that's the only way it can work. It doesn't make sense - and its not supported - to have a completely separate spring instance in each aar by using the same jar copy of spring in WEB-INF. So yes, you do need multiple copies of the spring jar in each war - that's the price you need to pay for it to work. BTW, you may not need the full 2.8 mb spring jar - they ship smaller jars supporting each feature set - ymmv. Best regards, Robert
