But when I access to my specific URL, an Java exception is catch :

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No WebApplicationContext found: no ContextLoaderListener registered?

My technical environment is :

DelegatingFilterProxy works by delegating the work of the filter to a bean in the root webapp spring context. If you're getting that error, then you haven't defined one.

You need to make sure something like the following is in your web.xml:

<listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

This will obtain the context's bean definitions from /WEB-INF/application.xml
