Hello,

I wrote 2 applications using spring.. and I compiled them to .war's. these files i placed on my app-server (JBoss 3.2.6) an they run fine. I now wrote a new application and putted al files in a directory with the extension .war ( because the application is not finished yet)
This application works fine. But when I delete the 2 previous applications (which I don't need anymore) it doesn't work anymore. It looks like it is using something from the other applications, however they have nothing to do with eachother.

I always get teh following error:
15:43:14,261 ERROR [Engine] StandardWrapperValve[chassisservlet]: Servlet.servic
e() for servlet chassisservlet threw exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/context/support/ClassPathXml

...

I tried to install a different application server, but get the same error. when I run it as a local application from within eclips, it works fine too.
does anyone know what this error mean? I really want to delete the other applications.

You have classpath problems - probably you have reference to the spring.jar from the projects which you are trying to delete (through JBoss UCL). Put the Spring.jar inside the server/default/lib and make sure you have only one spring.jar in your classpath (check also tomcat.sar).
If you deliver a war/ear with Spring.jar packed that one will take precedence (actually it depends a lot on what type of settings do you have in jboss but that's the standard configuration AFAIK).

I putted the spring.jar file in my new project to but that didn't help..
But when I added it to my JBoss lib it works..
Thanks a lot
