Getting namespace errors in xml config file when running from executable jar

[bytor99999]

OK. So I can run my application in IntelliJ. But after I build my app and create an executable jar. It won't work on the command line

Here is my dependency in my pom

///THE PROPERTIES
<spring.amqp.version>1.1.1.RELEASE</spring.amqp.version>
<spring-data-commons.version>1.3.1.RELEASE</spring-data-commons.version>
<spring-data-mongodb.version>1.1.0.M1</spring-data-mongodb.version>
<spring-security.version>3.1.0.RELEASE</spring-security.version>
<spring-integration.version>2.1.3.RELEASE</spring-integration.version>

           <version>${spring-integration.version}</version>
        </dependency>

The exception I am getting is

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/integration/amqp]

Here is the header and a couple beans in my xml file

                                      queue-names="queue.gamestate" channel-transacted="true"/>

What am I missing?

Thanks

Are you also extracting the jar content of the spring jars into this jar? If so you are overwriting spring files needed for namespace handling, instead of overwriting you need to concat those files together. It concerns the META-INF/spring.handlers and META-INF/spring.schemas files. There are several post about this on the forum so you might want to use the search.

Yeah. thanks. That makes perfect sense, don't know what I was thinking. Wish there was a way to make a lib directory within an executable jar file with other jars in it. I was trying to avoid deploying in some kind of server, so I just made a static void main method. But I might have to make it a war file even though it isn't a website. But I also don't want to deploy in an app server.

I think I will go about it without it being an executable jar and run it straight with a huge -cp.

Thanks again Marten.

Hi,

You may want to take a look at the Maven Shade Plugin:

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/

It can do the merging of the Spring namespace handler config files for you. As an example, take a look at an old blog post of mine:

I hope this helps!

Thanks gunnar. I will try that out. I had had tried shade, but didn't have the transformers there, so the same thing was happening when using shade.
