    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>zkLoader</servlet-name>

            org.zkoss.zk.ui.http.DHtmlLayoutServlet
        </servlet-class>

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>auEngine</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            org.zkoss.zk.au.http.DHtmlUpdateServlet
        </servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>zkLoader</servlet-name>

    </servlet-mapping>

• In addition to this you will aslo need to declare Spring ContextLoaderListener in web.xml to be able to declare and register your Spring beans with Spring framework.

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