JBoss 4.2.0_GA + Spring 2.0.5 integration

[igeek]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the jboss+spring integration package (2.0) on a JBoss 4.2.0 GA release for a spring-based message-driven bean component that I wrote using Spring 2.0.5 (mostly the jdbc/dao parts). I have deployed the jboss-spring-jdk5.deployer to the deploy directory and added the spring libraries. However, when I try to run my bean it gives me this error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader

I'm sure the spring-beans.jar is in the deployed directory, and I think I'm not missing any dependencies.

Can someone tell me what do I need to make this deployer work? it's too late now to try to take Spring away from my code and I really want to use spring with jboss.

It can be a Spring library incompatibility.
Current SpringDeployer is written against the first 2.0.GA Spring version.

I'll have a look how this plays against 2.0.5 and let you know.

This class should be there - checked against 2.0.6 and 2.1.x API docs:
http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.0.x/api/org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.html
http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.1.x/api/org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.html

So I guess it must be your classloading problem.
Where do you keep Spring lib jars?

I tried putting them in the jboss-spring-jdk5.deployer and in the sever/default/lib directories (either one and both).

I'm now resorting to not use Spring's DI part and use EJB3's @Resource annotation, which seems to be working.

Thanks anyway

Just put all the required Spring libs in the sever/default/lib.
That should definitely work.
No need for them then to be in jboss-spring-jdk5.deployer.
