'class path resource cannot be found'-problem

mroosendaal Apr 4, 2006 1:39 AM

Hi,

I have a simple EAR file with an application.xml which refers to a .sar and to a .jar (ejb) file in the EAR. I also have a lib-dir which contains all the 3rd party libs. I also have a jar which contains the Hibernate-mappings (i tried to add this to the application.xml but no luck) but on deployment is see:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [config/applica
tionContext-ejb.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [spg-hbm.jar] cannot be re

at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.createBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:348)
at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:226)

But when i look in the ear file in the tmp directory the needed jar is right there. I tried placing the hbm files in the ear directly, in different jars, in the server/node>/lib-directory but the only things that seems to work is to create a folder in the deploy directory with a .deployer or .sar extenstion, add a META-INF folder with an empty jboss-service.xml and the spg-hbm.jar. Only then can it be found

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,
Maarten

Are you listing the jar you need as a Classpath MANIFEST.MF entry? This needs to be done in order to tell JBoss what dependent jars should be deployed along with your your application.

This would look something like the following in your MANIFEST.MF file:

Classpath first.jar second.jar third.jar

Yes, in both my .sar and my .jar (ejb) Manifest file, no luck.

Maybe it has something to do with Spring and the way to look for a file. I configures the LocalSessionBeanFactory with the following:

spg-hbm.jar

i've tried adding 'file:' and 'classpath:' but no luck.
