How to use Spring 3.0.6 with STS 2.7.2 ?

[mii]

Hello,
I am newbie to Spring and STS.

How can I use Spring 3.0.6 with STS 2.7.2 ?
STS 2.7.2 provides Spring 3.0.5 by default but I need 3.0.6 to use Spring Security 3.0.7 because of its dependency.

I created a new Spring MVC (hello world) project with STS and changed <org.springframework-version> property in pom.xml from 3.0.5.RELEASE to 3.0.6.RELEASE.
Although I am not sure this approach was correct or not, the new version was automatically downloaded and installed into the local maven repository.
But the problem is, tcServer cannot start with this new project when I restart the server.

I got just one dialog message: "Server VMware vFabric tc Server Developer Edition v2.6 was unable to start within 120 seconds. If the server requires more time, try increasing the timeout in the server editor."

Thank you in advance,

Hi!

You are going the right way, changing the dependency of the template project in the pom.xml from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6 is enough to update the project to use Spring 3.0.6. This is unrelated from the Spring version that is inside the STS distribution, because that is just the Spring framework STS uses internally.

When you changed the dependency to 3.0.6 in the pom.xml and start tc Server, what do you see on the console? Does tc Server start and just needs more than 120 seconds to start? If so, you can increase the timeout as mentioned in the message dialog. I don't know exactly why tc Server should take such a long time to startup, but who knows...

HTH,
Martin

Thank you Martin,

After I increased timeout to 600 seconds, tc Server has become able to start. Here is the console log. When I got an error before changing timeout, console log was always ended at "Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext".
I am running STS on ubuntu 10.04 with sun jdk 1.6.0_26.

Hey!

Glad to hear its now working. No idea why that tc Server instance takes so long for startup...
It that behavior keeps the same every time you start the server, you could ask the people on the tc server forum for help, I guess. Maybe they know more details about this.

Cheers,
-Martin
