Installation Instructions for JBoss 4.2.3.GA?

[crucifix]

I'm trying to install the Spring deployer into JBoss 4.2.3.GA.

The installation instructions on the wiki state to copy the jboss-spring-jdk5.deployer directory into the JBoss deploy/ directory, but I don't see this available for download on the Sourceforge page here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866&package_id=161914

Where do I get this deployer from?[/url]

For JBoss 4.2.3.GA you need to use the 2.x line of deployers - and there you have the jdk5 variants.

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, I'm doing something wrong as I'm still not able to get the deployer working.

I've downloaded the spring-deployer.zip and extracted the jboss-spring-jdk5.deployer directory from inside it to my JBoss deploy/ directory.

Inside the extracted deployer directory, I've replaced 'jboss-spring-jdk5.jar' with the downloaded 'jboss-spring-jdk5-2.5.jar'. Now, when I start JBoss (this is a fresh install with no software deployments yet), I receive the following error:

Any idea what I've done wrong? Thanks!

SpringDeployer class is abstract, as it depends what exactly you wanna instantiate.
Either a full ApplicationContext or just BeanFactory.

So the proper deployer class should be
* org.jboss.spring.deployment.SpringApplicationContextDeployer
* org.jboss.spring.deployment.SpringBeanFactoryDeployer

This should be fixed in jboss-spring-jdk5.deployer/META-INF/jboss-service.xml.

I've updated the mbean declaration in jboss-service.xml and it's working fine now.

Thank you!
