Issue with WAR + EAR deployment

[aravicamp]

Hi,

This is the first time i am trying to use spring annotation and i have issues with the deployment of my EAR in WAS8.0. Please find the details

EAR
/lib/serviceProject.jar
webProject.war [ STRUTS 2.3.1.2 , SPRING 3.1.1, SPRING Security 3.1.0 J2EE5.0 Spec]
ejbProject.jar [ EJB 3.0 J2EE5.0 Spec]

Class loading policy
WAS Class Loader policy - APPLICATION
EAR loader - mode = PARENT_LAST
WAR loader - mode = PARENT_FIRST

web.xml
<listener>
<description>Spring Context Listener </description>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoade rListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<context-param>
<param-name>locatorFactorySelector</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:/spring/beanRefContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>parentContextKey</param-name>
<param-value>ear.context</param-value>
</context-param>

I have an empty applicationContext.xml under WEB-INF project. The definition of the ear.context bean is present in the serviceProject.jar and i am loading all the jdbc, security and the service bean definition from the service project

Throughout the project i am using annotations to inject the beans.
<context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="xxx.xxxx.xxx" />

Service class annotation @Service and @Qualifier
DAO class annotation @Repository and @Qualifier

When the project is deployed, i am getting the following exception. Not sure where the problem is. Please help!!! I tried change the class loading policy but still same issue.
