Spring in Jboss

dito.subandono Mar 30, 2009 12:10 AM

Hi there. I'm quite new to jboss. I have some questions
I'm running
- JDK 1.6
- JBoss 4.2.3
- Spring Framework 2.5.6
- Netbean IDE 6.5

I'm trying to deploy a simple Spring project without spring lib packaged
inside the war but i want the spring lib are copied inside /server/default/lib so the lib is shared. I have copied

jstl.jar
spring-2.5.jar
spring-webmvc-2.5.jar
standard.jar

to /server/default/lib

when i access a jsp file with the following code :

<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags" prefix="spring" %>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>
 <head>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
 <title>Enter your name</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <h2>Enter your name</h2>

 <spring:nestedPath path="name">
 <form action="" method="post">
 Name:
 <spring:bind path="value">
 <input type="text" name="${status.expression}" value="${status.value}">
 </spring:bind>
 <input type="submit" value="OK">
 </form>
 </spring:nestedPath>

 </body>
</html>

i get this following error :

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri: http://www.springframework.org/tags cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application

i think JBoss/Spring integration could help me solve the problem.
But when i download spring-deployer 2.1 and deploy it to jboss i get this following error :

10:21:35,561 ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not create deployment: file:/Users/dito/servers/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/default/deploy/jboss-spring.deployer/
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Cannot instanciate MBean: org.jboss.spring.deployment.SpringDeployer; - nested throwable: (javax.management.NotCompliantMBeanException: Cannot instanciate MBean: org.jboss.spring.deployment.SpringDeployer)

really appreciate any help.
thanks in advance

forgot to include another error report. when the project was deployed
i get this error :

11:21:17,918 WARN [JAXWSDeployerHookPreJSE] Cannot load servlet class: org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
11:21:17,921 INFO [TomcatDeployer] deploy, ctxPath=/HelloSpring, warUrl=.../tmp/deploy/tmp7829HelloSpring-exp.war/
11:21:17,971 ERROR [[/HelloSpring]] Error configuring application listener of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

as if the spring in /server/default/lib is not loaded or recognized.

thank you

A few hints:

1) If you're running a web application using Spring in JBoss, you won't need the Spring Deployer. So, just go ahead and deploy your application as a regular web-app.

2) The fact that the taglibs are not recognized won't be solved by using the Spring deployer. The jars in /server/default/lib won't be scanned for tag definitions automatically (the classes, however, will be found). You can either place the jars in your WEB-INF/lib directory of your Jar, or set them correspondingly in jboss-web.deployer.

3) for org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener you will also need to have spring-web.jar on your classpath.

Hope that helps,
Marius
