Application not starting up after upgrade to 1.1 final -Help

I upgraded to Spring 1.1 final and replaced the jars I had from 1.0.2 with the ones from the 1.1 distribution. Now my application is not starting but no errors are being printed. The only thing I see before everthing begins to shutdown is:

Code:

2004-09-29 11:07:36,518 INFO [org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext] - <Closing application context [Root XmlWebApplicationContext]> 2004-09-29 11:07:36,518 INFO [org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory] - <Destroying singletons in factory {

You need to turn the logging verbosity up to DEBUG, then see what's happening :)

I just did that also and basically everthing looks good until the lines above. I would have hoped for some exception to be thrown to the log so I would know exactly where the problem is, but no such luck. This is very strange. Not until those lines above does it tell you something is wrong.

I think the problem is that my mysite-servlet.xml file is not getting loaded. What has changed between 1.0.2 an 1.1 that would cause this to be the case?

applicationContext.xml and dataAccessContext-local.xml are getting loaded.

Check the logs/localhost_log<date>.txt file for your Tomcat - I suspect you will see an error in there. I was vexed for hours by a very similar issue today.

actually, I found the problem. It seems that 1.0.2 was loading the *-servlet.xml file by default. In the 1.1 version, you need to list it explicitly in the web.xml file

Code:

<context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value> /WEB-INF/dataAccessContext-local.xml /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml /WEB-INF/mysite-servlet.xml </param-value> </context-param>

yep...thanks for the tip. It was a sitemesh error and not a spring error. I updated to sitemesh 2.2 also at the same time. should have done it one at a time.

Anyway, this version seems to have a remarkable performance improvement: my 88 beans used to take 1440 ms on avg. to startup, I just started up the whole app in:

Code:

<Framework servlet 'mysite' init completed in 170 ms>

Thank you.
