DispatcherServlet spring.profiles.active init-param

[timt]

Hi,

I've defined two beans

<beans profile="dev">
    <jdbc:embedded-database id="dataSource" type="H2">
        ...
    </jdbc:embedded-database>
</beans>

<beans profile="prod">
    <jee:jndi-lookup id="dataSource" jndi-name="java:comp/env/jdbc/datasource"/>
</beans>

To enable a profile I've the following in my web.xml file (http://blog.springsource.com/2011/02...-1-m1-released)

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>spring.profiles.active</param-name>
        <param-value>dev</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

When I run my app I see the following in the console

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/data.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'dataSource' while setting bean property 'dataSource'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'dataSource' is defined

Apparently it doesn't take the spring.profiles.active param
Any ideas how to solve this ?

Are you sure you are running Spring 3.1? Spring bean profiles is available as of version 3.1. By this time maybe you have solved the issue.

This seems to be a common problem, per my experience and this post http://blog.wookets.com/2011/11/spri...t-profile.html
You can use JVM args or system properties instead, read that page.

This may be the explanation:
