Spring context loading in 2.1.0.GA

[rshan.bob.shanahan.alascorp.com]

I upgraded Seam from 2.0.2.SP1 to 2.1.0.GA and Spring integration appears to be broken when relying on Spring's ContextLoaderListener to load app contexts.

web.xml

   <context-param>
      <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>          
      <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
   </context-param>
   <context-param>
      <param-name>locatorFactorySelector</param-name>
      <param-value>classpath:com/i2i/services/beanRefFactory.xml</param-value>
   </context-param>
   <context-param>
      <param-name>parentContextKey</param-name>
      <param-value>i2i.services</param-value>
   </context-param>
   <context-param>
      <param-name>webAppRootKey</param-name>
      <param-value>i2i.root</param-value>
   </context-param>
    
   <listener>
      <listener-class>org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener</listener-class>
   </listener>
    
   <!--
     MUST LOAD AFTER SEAMLISTENER!
   -->
   <listener>
      <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
   </listener>

components.xml

   <persistence:managed-hibernate-session name="hibernateSession" auto-create="true" session-factory="#{sessionFactory}"/>
   <spring:spring-transaction platform-transaction-manager="#{transactionManager}" join-transaction="true" auto-create="true"/>

Is this a bug or did I miss something in migration docs?

Is it possible to invoke Spring's SingletonBeanFactoryLocator using spring:context-loader?

[rshan.bob.shanahan.alascorp.com]

The problem isn't Spring context loading... that is actually working. I've isolated the problem to the spring:spring-transaction component in components.xml.

components.xml

<spring:spring-transaction platform-transaction-manager="#{transactionManager}"/>

applicationContext.xml

     <bean id="sessionFactory"
          class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean" lazy-init="true">
          <property name="dataSource" ref="${datasource}"/>
          <property name="mappingLocations">
                <value>classpath:com/alas/i2i/domain/*.hbm.xml</value>
         </property>
          <property name="hibernateProperties">
               <props>
                    <prop key="hibernate.dialect">
                         ${hibernate.dialect}

                    <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">${hibernate.show_sql}</prop>

                    <prop key="hibernate.jdbc.batch_size">${hibernate.jdbc.batchsize}</prop>
               </props>
          </property>
     </bean>

Bug or Spring/Hibernate transactions no longer supported?

[rshan.bob.shanahan.alascorp.com]

Seam 2.1.0.GA requires explicit inclusion of jboss-seam-ioc-2.1.0.GA.jar for Spring integration.

If upgrading an existing maven based project, it's easy to overlook this. Perhaps the Seam team could add a note to seam21migration.txt.

[pmuir]

It always has. And it is clearly documented in the intro to Chapter 27.

[rshan.bob.shanahan.alascorp.com]

Odd that my app worked without explicitly specifying jboss-seam-ioc-2.0.2.SP1 in my pom.xml prior to upgrading to 2.1.0.GA.

[dan.j.allen]

There is a chance that the transitive dependency tree changed. Regardless, you should be explicitly stating that you depend on jboss-seam-ioc if you are using the Spring integration.
