    JBoss AS6.0.0.Final Spring MVC doesnt work

    mmalhotra

      Hi,

       

      I am trying to run a basic example of Spring MVC (https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/spring-int/branches/1_0/documentation/samples/web-scanning/src/) for Component scanning using JBoss AS 6.0.0.0.Final and run into this error:

      If I put the VFS jar (jboss-vfs-2.1.2.GA.jar) in the server's classpath it starts throwing:

      I have the following Spring and Snowdrop Jars in the server classpath:

       

      snowdrop-vfs-1.1.0.GA.jar

      org.springframework.aop-3.0.1.RELEASE-A.jar

          Also as recommended in the Document "http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Web_Framework_Kit/1.1/html/Snowdrop_1.1_User_Guide/ch01.html"

           

          I download and applied Spring 3.0.2 Release Jar files, same exceptions occur

            Moved the thread to Snowdrop froum. Someone here might be able to help.

              Hi Mrinal,

               

              Two things to make things better (you can do either, it's not necessary to do both):

               

              1) Switch the example from Snowdrop 1.1 to 2.0.0-MP1-SP1. Only the latter works on AS6.

               

              2) You don't really need Snowdrop for VFS scanning on AS6 if you are using Spring 3.0.3 or later.

               

              Try either of them and it'll work.

                Hi Marius

                 

                Thanks for the information, I was able to download Spring Release 3.0.5 and the application worked, with some minor modifications:

                 

                a) Moved the spring-contexts folder into WEB-INF (As I am not using the Snowdrop JAR file, I dont think I have the "classpath*" available anymore?)

                b) I had to remove references to the contextClass in the web.xml, so the source for the web.xml  changed to (Maybe the source for the demo code should be appended for this change?) :

                  Hey Mrinal

                   

                  a) Not sure what the problem is in your case, but the classpath*: path should really work. It does for me - see the configuration below.

                   

                  b) This what I meant by "you don't really need Snowdrop for VFS scanning".

                    Hi Marius

                     

                    Thanks for the update, I still haven't figured out what was wrong but a restart fixed everything (using the web.xml configuration above).
