Problem with upgrade from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3

[Athrawn17]

I have a problem with the new 1.2.3 release. We have a pretty simple configuration as you can see below. We are using JCA to connect to CICS.

<beans>
	<bean id="JCAConnectionFactory" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
		<property name="jndiName" value="eis/ECICICS" />
	</bean>

	<bean id="accountDao" class="AccountDAO">
		<property name="connectionFactory">
			<ref local="JCAConnectionFactory" />
		</property>
	</bean>

</beans>

When I use the 1.2.2 release we have no problems at all. However, when we switch and use the 1.2.3 release we get this error.

As you can see this is running in Websphere 5.1 For now we are reverting back to 1.2.2. Until then, is this a bug? Oh, one last thing to note, the
AccountDAO extends org.springframework.jca.cci.core.support.CciDaoSup port.

Thanks[/code]

Sounds like the problem I encountered, too. I already created a JIRA issue.

This has already been addressed for 1.2.4. Please give one of the next nightly snapshots a try if you have the chance, and let me know whether you're still experiencing that logged exception.

BTW, this exception is just logged at debug level and can usually safely be ignored. It just indicates that the previous value of a property couldn't be read, which is an expected case.

Juergen,
I've grabbed the nightly from 07/30 and I am still experiencing the error showing as logged in DEBUG mode. When switching to a higher logger level I do not see the exception. I've also verified that things are getting injected properly and working as expected. I just see that ugly stack trace when the server loads the application context.

Thanks

[Juergen Hoeller]

That snapshot didn't include the changes yet. We have issues with our nightly builds currently, not picking up current CVS contents.

Anyway, please try a newer 1.2.4 snapshot once it is available. It clearly needs to be marked as 1.2.4, else it won't contain any of the changes.

Juergen

[Athrawn17]

Will do. Thanks. I'll report back when I've grabbed a snapshot and tried it out.

[Juergen Hoeller]

FYI, a current 1.2.4 snapshot is now available! Please give it a try when you have the chance...

Juergen

[Athrawn17]

Juergen,
I've brought down the spring-framework-1.2.4-build.320-20050803 build and no more error when running with the logger level set to DEBUG. Things are working as expected.

Thanks!

[Juergen Hoeller]

Thanks for giving the snapshot a try - good to know that it works for you now :-)
