Unable to insatiate Gemfire cache using Spring-Gemfire intergration

[mohitm]

Hi

I am trying to use Spring - Gemfire integration
To start I want to create cache object using org.springframework.data.gemfire.CacheFactoryBean
I am using Spring 3.0, Spring-Gemfire 1.0.0 and gemfire 6.5.0 in my project
Here is my code to instantiate CacheFacotryBean.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">

   <bean id="cache" class="org.springframework.data.gemfire.CacheFactoryBean">
      <property name="properties">
         <props>
            <prop key="cache-xml-file">peer-empty-cache.xml</prop>
            <prop key="mcast-port">0</prop>
         </props>
      </property>
   </bean>

If I try to instantiate context getting error as

Caused by: java.lang.reflect.MalformedParameterizedTypeException

As I have just started working on Spring-Gemfire integration,I will be overwhelmed if you can help .

Hi,

might be a bit late, but I just encountered the same exception while migrating an application from spring 2.5.6 to spring 3.0.5.RELEASE

In my case, the problem was coming from a transitive dependency in the pom.xml that would still retrieve a spring 2.5.6 jar in the middle of all the 3.0.5 ones.
Setting all spring module dependencies version to the 3.0.5.RELEASE version in the project pom fixed the issue.
