Spring Managed Struts Action

[etnot]

Hello,

I am trying to do spring managed struts action via the org.springframework.web.struts.ContextLoaderPlugIn and the org.springframework.web.struts.DelegatingActionPro xy, but I am getting an error. Here is my error msg:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sqlMapClient' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/classes/applicationContext.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.FatalBeanException: Could not instantiate class [org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapClientFactoryBean]; constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.ibatis.sqlmap.engine.transaction.external.ExternalTransactionConfig
org.springframework.beans.FatalBeanException: Could not instantiate class [org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapClientFactoryBean]; constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.ibatis.sqlmap.engine.transaction.external.ExternalTransactionConfig
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.ibatis.sqlmap.engine.transaction.external.ExternalTransactionConfig

All of my spring config files are located:
/WEB-INF/

MY struts plugin, located in my struts-config.xml, looks like so:

<plug-in className="org.springframework.web.struts.ContextLoaderPlugIn">
		<set-property property="contextConfigLocation" value="/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml"/>
	</plug-in>

My applicationContext.xml looks like so:

Oh

I forgot to say that I get this error msg as soon as tomcat starts up. I don't know why I am getting this error. Please help me if you can.

Thanks in advance.

Seems like you're missing the ibatis jarfile. Make sure that it is located in WEB-INF/lib and populated correctly.
