boot strapping spring inside Jboss

[hungtru]

Hi there,
I'm trying to bootstrap Spring and a bunch of spring related beans inside Jboss without using the .spring deployer, because I need to be able to deploy this inside WAS too.

My web.xml and spring libraries work inside WAS, but when i put it over onto JBoss, JBoss reads the web.xml and everything appears to be okay, but it never triggers any of the Listeners, even to create them.

Am i missing something? I've followed the following: http://www.codechimp.net/?p=22


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Explain what you are trying to do ? Use Spring within a simple Web App Or Use Spring-Deployer ? They are entirely different things

Hi there.
Yeah, I'm trying to use spring with a web app.
I have a collection of enties extending from AbstractMarshallingPayloadEndpoint and one particular from a ServletContextListener (which i am using to start up a bunch of stuff).

So, my web.xml contains:

<web-app
version="2.4"
id="WebApp_ID">

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



<display-name>MyServerListener</display-name>
<listener-class>com.my.MyServletContextListener</listener-class>



<!-- take especial notice of the name of this servlet -->

<servlet-name>spring-ws</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>


<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>spring-ws</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>


</web-app>


I put a break point inside the class, but it never gets created.
All this is wrapped inside a war and deployed inside JBoss. The same war deployed inside WAS starts up properly.

Am I missing some configuration inside JBoss to start up spring? When i remove the Spring libraries, i do get errors from JBoss saying that it can't find the spring libraries.

Any ideas?

yes, there are ... surrounding the listener-class, i just missed it on the cut and paste.

...i don't know why < listener> and don't appear. They are in the xml file, and i just cut and pasted it here.
