Spring profile and property-placeholder exception

Question

I'm trying to use the profile to switch from an environment to another, this is my application context file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:mongo="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p" 
    xmlns:c="http://www.springframework.org/schema/c"
    xsi:schemaLocation="
            http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
            http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd
            http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo/spring-mongo.xsd">


    <context:property-placeholder properties-ref="deployProperties" />

    <!--  Mongo config -->
    <bean id="mongo" class="org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoClientFactoryBean">
        <property name="host" value="${mongoHSRealtime.host.ip}"/>
        <property name="port" value="${mongoHSRealtime.host.port}"/>
    </bean> 

    <mongo:db-factory id="mongoDbFactory" mongo-ref="mongo"/>

    <!-- ###### ENVIRONMENET SPECIFIC SETTINGS ######### -->
    <beans profile="localhost">
        <bean id="deployProperties" p:location="classpath:localhost/spring.properties" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean" />
    </beans>

    <beans profile="dev">   
        <bean id="deployProperties" p:location="classpath:dev/spring.properties" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean" />
    </beans>

</beans>

On the web.xml I defined which profile activate in this way:

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/coreConfig/application-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
    <param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>classpath:localhost/log4j.xml</param-value>
</context-param>    
<context-param>
    <param-name>spring.profile.active</param-name>
    <param-value>localhost</param-value>
</context-param>    

So, everything seems fine but, when I try to run tomcat, I get this exception:

Any clue? The properties file are in the correct position because I can reach using this configuration property location con property-placeholder.

Please change spring.profile.active into spring.profiles.active.
