Spring Unit Test Failed to Load ApplicationContext

[conanzxn]

Hi I got a problem related to unit testing. I use Hibernate3 + Spring3.1.1 + JUnit4.1 + Netbeans7.2

When I try to set up the unit test, it fails when I put "mappingLocations" in the spring application context file. However, the same file is used for deployment and it works perfect fine. If I take "mappingLocations" out, the unit test works without the error below but there is no data can be retrieved from the database.

Any ideas? Many thanks!!

The error is shown below.

SEVERE: Caught exception while allowing TestExecutionListener [org.springframework.test.context.support.DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener@8beff2] to prepare test instance [com.ssl.roamss.test.dao.TestJUnit@1362a63]

My unit test class:

@ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath:applicationContext_1.xml"})

public class TestJUnit{
    

    @Autowired
    private ConfigDao configDao;

    @Test
    public void hello() {
        
        System.out.println(configDao.getAllConfig().get(0).getId().getValue());
    }
}

ConfigDao.java

@Repository
public class ConfigDao extends BaseDao<Config> {

    public List<Config> getAllConfig() {
        return this.find("from " + Config.class.getName());
    }
   
}

Hello,

-Is your applicationContext_1.xml located at the root of the classpath or in a subdirectory thereof?
-Is it named applicationContext_1.xml or applicationContext.xml?
-Why do you mix 2.5 and 3.0 in your namespace declarations?

J.

I noticed that mixture and changed all to 3.0. Thanks!

The problem is solved. It is because the Hibernate library in Netbeans 7.2 has an old version of asm.jar. After import all Hibernate jars from download, I got asm-3.1.jar. Then all problems are solved.
