I am using Eclipse 3.2 with JBoss. I have included all the hibernate jar files which I could find and also spring.jar.
my applicationContext file is as mentioned below...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">
<beans>
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
<property name="driverClassName">
<value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value>
</property>
<property name="url">
<value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:oracle</value>
</property>
<property name="username">
<value>scott</value>
</property>
<property name="password">
<value>tiger</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="factory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSes sionFactoryBean">
<property name="mappingResources">
<list>
<value>com/lms/Employee.hbm.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Orac le9Dialect</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
</props>
</property>
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
</bean>
<bean id="employeeDao" class="com.lms.EmployeeSpringDao">
<property name="sessionFactory">
<ref bean="factory" />
</property>
</bean>
</beans>
I am calling the applicationcontext from the below mentioned program...
package com.lms;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlAp plicationContext;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
public class EmployeeRegistry {
public ApplicationContext ctx;
public EmployeeRegistry(){
ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext .xml");
}
public SessionFactory getSessionFactory(){
return (SessionFactory) ctx.getBean("factory", SessionFactory.class);
}
public EmployeeSpringDao getEmployeeDao(){
return (EmployeeSpringDao)ctx.getBean("employeeDao", EmployeeSpringDao.class);
}
}
Is there anything more to be done? Any other jar files,other than spring.jar? I am using hibernate3.jar. I am using a jsp to call the hibernate functions. The hibernate part is working fine, as I tested it as a sample java application. But when I am using springs, I am receiving the error.
