Problem with Vaadin and Spring without Spring Boot

General
1

I have a following start for my Vaadin + Spring project.

The main UI class:

@SpringUI
@Theme("person")
public class PersonUI extends UI {

    @Autowired
    SpringViewProvider viewProvider;

    @WebServlet(value = "/*", asyncSupported = true)
    @VaadinServletConfiguration(productionMode = true, ui = PersonUI.class, heartbeatInterval = 60, resourceCacheTime = 3600, closeIdleSessions = true)
    public static class Servlet extends SpringVaadinServlet {
    }

    @WebListener
    public static class PersonContextLoaderListener extends ContextLoaderListener {
    }

    @Configuration
    @EnableVaadin
    public static class PersonConfiguration {
    }

    @Override
    protected void init(VaadinRequest request) {
    
        VerticalLayout rootLayout = new VerticalLayout();
        HeaderLayout headerLayout = new HeaderLayout();
        rootLayout.addComponents(headerLayout, contentContainer);

        Navigator navigatorLocal = new Navigator(this, contentContainer);
        navigatorLocal.addProvider(viewProvider);
        navigatorLocal.addView("", LoginView.class);
        navigatorLocal.addView(PersonListView.NAME, PersonListView.class);
        setNavigator(navigatorLocal);
    }

and
WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml

<?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:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

    <bean class="com.mycompany.PersonUI.PersonConfiguration" />
    <context:component-scan base-package="com.mycompany" />

and

        ...

    </dependencies>

    </build>
            ...
    </build>
</project>

I have no
web.xml
 file.

And the exception is when requesting
http://localhost:8080/person/

com.vaadin.server.DefaultErrorHandler doDefault SEVERE: java.lang.IllegalStateException: [com.mycompany.PersonUI] is already mapped to the path at com.vaadin.spring.server.SpringUIProvider.detectUIs(SpringUIProvider.java:83) and

WARN:oejs.ServletHandler:qtp1991615833-36:
javax.servlet.ServletException: com.vaadin.server.ServiceException: com.vaadin.server.ServiceException: No UIProvider has been added and there is no "UI" init parameter.
        at com.vaadin.server.VaadinServlet.service(VaadinServlet.java:366)

Vaadin Spring related documentation is not very good, so does anyone have an idea what is the problem?

I found the solution.
I accidently had two applicationContext.xml files in the project.

Can we try without applicationContext.xml as i don’t have xml file? I used java configuration.
