TransactionManager Error

[sleyzerzon]

When starting up the server, I'm getting the following error:

Here is my application-context file:

</bean>
</beans>

I've tried using the JtaTransactionManager instead of DataSourceTransactionManager as well, but the error persists. It goes away though when I comment out the 'dealFacadeTx' bean, so I'm suspecting something there is wrong. Could you point me in the right direction, please.

Thanks.

You need to include aopalliance.jar in your lib directory or on your classpath. t is distributed with Spring in the /lib/aopalliance directory.
