Spring Roo app running on JBoss AS7

[jamescoq]

Hey,

I have generated a simple web application using spring roo and now i would like to deploy it into Jboss AS7. I've got myself into some troubles, that i don't know how to solve it.

The application is using spring 3.0.5, spring security 3.0.5 and hibernate 3.6.4. First I have tried to launch that application on Tomcat 7 and even there it wasn't easy.

I was still reporting an error :

org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/security]

Offending resource: file [D:\projekty\diplomka_workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\e-library\WEB-INF\classes\META-INF\spring\applicationContext-security.xml]

I figgured out that for some reason tomcat didn't have spring security libraries, so I had to add them manualy into :

workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\e-library\WEB-INF\lib\

Than the application worked, but now i need to run it in JBoss.

At the first attempt i didn't want to resolve persistence-unit of my META-INF/persistence.xml . So I looked at how to deploy spring app in JBoss and tried to change persistence.xml to look like this:

<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"

          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.0"

          xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">

          <persistence-unit name="libraryPersistenceUnit"

                    transaction-type="JTA">

                    <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>

                    <jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/MySQL</jta-data-source>

                    <properties>

                              <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect" />

                              <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="none" />

                              <property name="hibernate.connection.charSet" value="UTF-8" />

                              <property name="jboss.entity.manager.factory.jndi.name"

                                        value="java:jboss/LibraryEntityManagerFactory" />

                    </properties>

          </persistence-unit>

</persistence>

and I deleted local datasource from META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml definition and set it up through jndi on server side ..in standalone.xml.

<datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/MySQL" pool-name="java:jboss/datasources/MySQL_Pool" enabled="true" jta="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">

                    <connection-url>

                        jdbc:mysql://localhost/e-library

                    </connection-url>

                    <driver>

                        mysql

                    </driver>

                    <security>

                        <user-name>

                            library

                        </user-name>

                        <password>

                            library

                        </password>

                    </security>

                </datasource>

                <drivers>

                    <driver name="mysql" module="com.mysql"/>

                    <driver name="h2" module="com.h2database.h2">

                        <xa-datasource-class>

                            org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcDataSource

                        </xa-datasource-class>

                    </driver>

                </drivers>

            </datasources>

and I also added module com.mysql with mysql driver into modules directory of JBoss AS7.

and my META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml looks like this:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

          xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

          xmlns:jee="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee" xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"

          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

          xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-3.0.xsd         http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd         http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd         http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee/spring-jee-3.0.xsd         http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-3.0.xsd">

  <context:spring-configured />

  <context:component-scan base-package="cz.uhk.library">

                    <context:exclude-filter expression=".*_Roo_.*"

                              type="regex" />

                    <context:exclude-filter expression="org.springframework.stereotype.Controller"

                              type="annotation" />

          </context:component-scan>

  <tx:jta-transaction-manager />

<jee:jndi-lookup id="entityManagerFactory" jndi-name="LibraryEntityManagerFactory"

                    expected-type="javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory" />

</beans>

and there is also file META-INF/spring/applicationContext-security.xml which is in attached files.

Than I runned the app again and got result:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails from [Module "deployment.e-library-jboss.war:main" from Service Module Loader]

I am bit puzzled here, because I thought that maven will provide all defined dependencies in pom.xml, but anyway I have defined moduled for spring security and added jboss-deployment-structure.xml.

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.0">

          <deployment>

                    <dependencies>

                              <module name="org.springframework.security.core" slot="3.0.5"

                                        export="true" />

                              <module name="org.springframework.security.config" slot="3.0.5"

                                        export="true" />

                              <module name="org.springframework.security.web" slot="3.0.5"

                                        export="true" />

                              <module name="org.springframework.security.taglibs" slot="3.0.5"

                                        export="true" />

                    </dependencies>

          </deployment>

</jboss-deployment-structure>

but, still the app is not running. The lates error is:

ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/e-library-jboss]] (MSC service thread 1-3) Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener: org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/security]

Offending resource: "/D:/installed/jboss-as-7.0.1.Final/standalone/deployments/e-library-jboss.war/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/spring/applicationContext-security.xml"

          at org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.FailFastProblemReporter.error(FailFastProblemReporter.java:68) [spring-beans-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar:]

I don't know what I am doing  wrong...but it doesn't look like a coincidence that this last error is same as the one I got while deploying it on Tomcat.

I am sorry if the reason is obvious, I am not any guru in that matter.

Can anyone help please? If it is necessary I can provide the whole application for testing.

Thanks in advance!

No need to answer that any more. The problem is solved, I was completly wrong. It turned out that I was missing <persistence-unit-ref> definition in web.xml. I figured that out after I abandoned deploying the app via eclipse and started to do it through CLI. The error message in CLI was more correct that the one in eclipse console.
