Hello,

I am trying to initialise an RMI client for which I have used Spring.

Now, the application's RMI context is stored in file= rmiClientAppContext.xml

The relevant code for using the above file is given below--

//RMI Client Application Context is started...
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("rmiClientAppContex t.xml");


However, when I try and run the program, this is the error I am getting--

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory
at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplic ationContext.<init>(AbstractApplicationContext.jav a:164)
at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractRefres hableApplicationContext.<init>(AbstractRefreshable ApplicationContext.java:90)
at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractRefres hableConfigApplicationContext.<init>(AbstractRefre shableConfigApplicationContext.java:59)
at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractXmlApp licationContext.<init>(AbstractXmlApplicationConte xt.java:61)
at org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlAp plicationContext.<init>(ClassPathXmlApplicationCon text.java:136)
at org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlAp plicationContext.<init>(ClassPathXmlApplicationCon text.java:83)

On further investigation of the first line of error message above, I found that

"164 is not a valid line number in org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplic ationContext"

What have i done wrong here? I am using Spring v3.1.3
How do I resolve the above error? Also, exactly which JARs do I have to include for the RMI client? And is there any specific order in which those JARs should be added to Java build path in Eclipse?


Thanks,
Arvind.
