Jboss/Spring Integration, second attempt!

[beyarecords]

Platform: Win XP SP1, JDK 1.6.0_06, Jboss 5.0.0.CR1

So,
I, and as per sticky instructions, download 'jboss-spring.deployer' from 'Spring Deployer 3.0'. I then place said .deployer file into the deploy directory and start server. The following error is the issued in the server logs:

What is the issue here?

[alesj]

The FileMatcher was moved. :-)
Before:
- org.jboss.deployers.vfs.plugins.structure.file.
Now:
- org.jboss.deployers.vfs.spi.deployer

And the SpringDeployer in that release still uses the old one.

I'll do a new release asap.
Or you can build it yourself from the trunk - it should be simple ant build call.

I'll post here when I'm done with the new release.

[beyarecords]

Ok, Alesj. I'll wait for your post ;-)

As I wish to use Spring 2.5 would I simply swap out the existing Spring files from the .deployer directory, which I believe are Spring 2.0 correct?, with 2.5 ?

Many thanks in advance.

I think the SpringDeployer3.0 is compiled against Spring 2.5, and as such shipped with Spring 2.5.
But I think there should be minimal or no diff with 2.0.8.

Hi Alesj,
on the JbossWiki there is a section concering the creation of .spring archieves:

my-app.spring/
 org/
 acme/
 ~MyBean.class
 ~MyBean2.class
 META-INF/
 jboss-spring.xml

but in 'Spring Deployer 3' we have 'jboss-spring.jar' which has no jboss-spring.xml file.

Now, and this is where I have been slightly confused, can one still use the 'my-app.spring' archive format in conjunction with 'jboss-spring.deplyer' on Jboss5 instead of 'jboss-spring.jar'? If so, what is the 'jboss-spring.jar' for, and does one need to use it at all?

just wanted to know whether you have had a chance to address this issue and if not when you feel you may be able to?

Many thanks in advance.

Not yet.
Been busy over the weekend pushing out new VFS release - fixing some issues to make AS5 run smoother.
I guess I'll have some time at the end of this week, and I already put this on my todo list. ;-)

[alesj]

Just saw what you can do to easily get jboss-spring.deployer artifact.

1) checkout AS5_trunk
2) build/build clean most
3) testsuite/build clean most
4) testsuite/build tests-springdeployer

This will create new springdeployer AS configuration, which includes jboss-spring deployer

Easy enough?
Or should I upload that artifact to sourceforge?

[beyarecords]

HI Alesj
thanks for the update.

I tried 'http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/AS5_trunk' and got a trunk doesn't exist exist error message.

I would appreciate it if you could provide me with the full trunk address but also think it would be a good idea to upload the artifact to sourceforge ;-)

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Alesj
many thanks for your assistance.

I have the following directory structure:

my-app.spring/
 org/
 acme/
 ~MyBean.class
 ~MyBean2.class
 META-INF/
 jboss-spring.xml
 lib/
 spring jars + dependencies

and all seems to be deplying correctly now.

I tried this same procedure with AS 4.2.2.GA (src) but the build fails with a 'missing label' error. What is the procesdure to build a spring-deployer under 4.2.2?

I'm using JDK1.6.0_06 and spring-framework 2.5.5.

Many thanks in advance.

I think v2.1 ( jboss-spring-jdk5-2.5.jar) from here:
- http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866&package_id=161914
should work for you in that env.

[beyarecords]

Hi Alesj,
my mycompany.spring structure, which sits in the deploy directory with jboss-spring-jdk5-2.5.jar, is so:

my-app.spring/
 org/
 acme/
 ~MyBean.class
 ~MyBean2.class
 META-INF/
 jboss-spring.xml
 lib/
 spring jars + dependencies

but I continue to get an incomplete deployment error:

Any ideas as to what I may be overlooking here?

[alesj]

You are missing deployer - a spring deployer to be exact. ;-)
Download one of previous _full_ versions of spring-deployer for JBoss 4.x, and then just replace jboss-spring.jar with the one I pointed you previously.
