Error creating bean with name 'daoAuthenticationProvider'

[pdecker]

I am getting a:
SEVERE: Context initialization failed
error when Tomcat failed to start my webapp.

I am using acegi. I believe the error occurs when creating this bean:

<bean id="authenticationDao"
class="net.sf.acegisecurity.providers.dao.jdbc.Jdb cDaoImpl">
<property name="dataSource">
<ref bean="dataSource"/>
</property>
<property name="usersByUsernameQuery">
<value>select login,password,'true' from User where login = ?</value>
</property>
<property name="authoritiesByUsernameQuery">
<value>SELECT u.login, a.authority FROM user u, authorities a WHERE u.login = ? and u.UserId = a.loginId</value>
</property>

</bean>

The tomcat log reveals:
Error creating bean with name 'daoAuthenticationProvider' defined in resource [/WEB-INF/proto-security.xml] of Servlet Context: initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/util/Assert...

Does anyone have an idea what is causing this to occur?

Thanks for any help.

Hi, you are probably missing required Spring classes from your classpath. Try including spring.jar on your classpath.

[pdecker]

Thanks for responding.

I have spring.jar in both the Web-inf/lib directory and the <tomcat-home>/server/lib directory.

[jettro]

You do not need it in your server/lib folder. It might even give your problems if you have it in both locations.

If that does not help I would try it first without the two queries, just to see if these two properties give the problem.

[feenixx]

yeah, including same .jar twice (with same name) is just asking for trouble

looks like you're using Acegi version < 1.0? package path's imply so. If not, change those
to org.acegisecurity.

[pdecker]

I removed spring.jar from <tomcat-home>/server/lib and removed the 2 queries from <bean id="authenticationDao"...>.

I still get the same exception. Here is part of the exception:

Here is a snippet of my proto-security.xml file:

<!-- = = = = = = = = AUTHENTICATION = = = = = = = -->

<bean id="authenticationManager"
class="net.sf.acegisecurity.providers.ProviderMana ger">

</list>

</bean>

<bean id="daoAuthenticationProvider"
class="net.sf.acegisecurity.providers.dao.DaoAuthe nticationProvider">
<property name="authenticationDao"><ref bean="authenticationDao"/></property>
</bean>

<bean id="authenticationDao"
class="net.sf.acegisecurity.providers.dao.jdbc.Jdb cDaoImpl">
<property name="dataSource">

</property>
<!--

</property>
-->
</bean>

I have acegi-security-0.8.2.jar in my web-inf/lib directory. This jar has package names beginning with: net\sf\acegisecurity\...

I also have acegi-security.jar and acegi-security-catalina-server.jar in my <tomcat-home>/server/lib directory. The acegi-security.jar has package names also beginning with: net\sf\acegisecurity\...

Is there a newer jar file I should be using which supports package: org.acegisecurity ?

Thanks for your help.

[jettro]

I would definitely start with acegi 1.0.0rc1, another thing I would NOT do is place jars into the server/lib folder. I would always place them into your web-inf lib folder. This is much easier to deploy and use. If you want to run multiple applications in your server you could run into problems if you must use different versions.

[pdecker]

I am now using acegi-security-1.0.0.0-RC1.jar. I modified my xml file to the new package name: org.acegisecurity.*. Tomcat throws the following exception when it is trying to load the spring context:

SEVERE: Context initialization failed

Are you guys seeing the org.acegisecurity.providers.dao.jdbc.JdbcDaoImpl class file in the acegi-security-1.0.0.0-RC1.jar file?

Your help is appreciated.

[feenixx]

JdbcDaoImpl's package is relocated as org.acegisecurity.userdetails.jdbc
