Error with AOP using Spring Cache

Hi there! I'm testing the Spring cache and, this is my context file:

Code:

---

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns:cache="http://www.springframework.org/schema/cache"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
                                                http://www.springframework.org/schema/cache http://www.springframework.org/schema/cache/spring-cache.xsd">
 
        <cache:annotation-driven cache-manager="simpleCacheManager"/>

        <bean id="simpleCacheManager" class="org.springframework.cache.support.SimpleCacheManager">
                <property name="caches">
                        <set>
                                <bean class="org.springframework.cache.concurrent.ConcurrentMapCacheFactoryBean">
                                        <property name="name" value="alfresco"/>
                                </bean>
                                <bean class="org.springframework.cache.concurrent.ConcurrentMapCacheFactoryBean">
                                        <property name="name" value="alfresco_article"/>
                                </bean>
                                <bean class="org.springframework.cache.concurrent.ConcurrentMapCacheFactoryBean">
                                        <property name="name" value="alfresco_action"/>
                                </bean>
                                <bean class="org.springframework.cache.concurrent.ConcurrentMapCacheFactoryBean">
                                        <property name="name" value="alfresco_multiplesegment"/>
                                </bean>
                    </set>
                  </property>
        </bean>

Code:

---

aop-alliance.jar and org.springframework.aop-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar are both in classpath.

Any clue?

thanks,

Judging from the stacktrace they aren't on the classpath... The fact that they are on your IDE classpath doesn't mean they are automatically on your servers classpath. Make sure they are in the WEB-INF/lib directory for your application.

Hi Marten,

thanks for your reply. I also try to put the libs on tomcat/lib folder I use on Eclipse but the error still happens.

No clear why but, after 6 month I'm working on this project, I had to add the lib to the classhpath of Tomcat under Eclipse configuration panel..... bah....
