IOExceptions with application context files

[seanoshea]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use Spring 1.2.3 in a simple web application and I'm getting a very strange error when I'm trying to load Spring beans from application context files.

I use a ContextLoaderServlet in my web.xml to define where my application context files reside:

<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/config/spring/aop-applicationContext.xml,
/WEB-INF/config/spring/ibatis-dao-applicationContext.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>

It seems to be able to find these files, but I get this error:

[10/20/05 18:13:24:256 EDT] 3dde8e95 ServletInstan E SRVE0100E: Did not realize init() exception thrown by servlet SpringContextServlet: javax.servlet.ServletException: IOException parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/config/spring/aop-applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

I seem to be getting Connection refused errors.

Has this ever happened to you? How did you solve this problem?

All help would be greatly appreciated

Regards

Sean

Maybe the XML parser tries to resolve a DTD and is not able to resolve the according host. This could be due to a firewall.
