Bean profiles not working - I always got NoSuchBeanDefinitionException

[ilalaina]

Hi all,

I'm new to Spring. I tried some tutorials on setting up spring bean profiles but I always got NoSuchBeanDefinitionException error, unless I add an argument -Dspring.profiles.active=myEnv.

I'm using STS with Eclipse Juno, Spring 3.1, Java 1.6.

Below is my web.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

	<!-- The definition of the Root Spring Container shared by all Servlets 
		and Filters -->
	<context-param>
		<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
		<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/root-context.xml</param-value>
	</context-param>

	<!-- Creates the Spring Container shared by all Servlets and Filters -->
	<listener>
		<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
	</listener>
	<!-- Processes application requests -->
	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
		<init-param>
			<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
			<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml</param-value>
		</init-param>
		<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
	</servlet>
	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>
	
	<context-param>
		<param-name>spring.profiles.active</param-name>
		<param-value>DEV</param-value>
	</context-param>

</web-app>

and this is my bean configuration file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
	
	<beans profile="PROD">
		<bean id="testBean" name="testBean" class="com.di.testspring.TestBean">
			<property name="attr1" value="testPROD1" />
			<property name="attr2" value="testPROD2" />
		</bean>
	</beans>
	
	<beans profile="DEV">
		<bean id="testBean" name="testBean" class="com.di.testspring.TestBean">
			<property name="attr1" value="testDEV1" />
			<property name="attr2" value="testDEV2" />
		</bean>
	</beans>

</beans>

And finally I instanciate the bean like this :

ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath:/com/di/testspring/test-bean.xml");
TestBean t = (TestBean) ctx.getBean("testBean"); 
System.out.println(t.toString());

The error I got :

INFO : org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext - Refreshing org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext@89cf1e: startup date [Mon Jan 21 11:56:37 EAT 2013]; root of context hierarchy

	at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.getBean(AbstractApplicationContext.java:1117)

Could you please help me.

Thanks in advance,
Ilalaina.

context-param doesn't do anything for servlet, add init-param to servlet definition.

Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Here's my new web.xml but I always got the same error :
