got NoSuchBeanDefinitionException when SLSB deployed to WebSphere 5.1 Server

[yuanji]

I created a SLSB by extending org.springframework.ejb.support.AbstractStatelessS essionBean, and override setSessionContext():

    public void setSessionContext(SessionContext sessionContext)
    {
        super.setSessionContext(sessionContext);
        setBeanFactoryLocator(ContextSingletonBeanFactoryLocator.getInstance("cct-beanRefContext.xml");
        setBeanFactoryLocatorKey("service-context");
    }

It works perfectly well on my local WSAD environment, and I can start server and run test EJB client to call SLSB on the server. But when everything deployed to AIX server, I got NoSuchBeanDefinitionException,

The config file cct-beanRefContext.xml is very simple:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN"
        "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">
    
<!-- load a hierarchy of contexts -->
<beans>
    
  <bean id="service-context"
        class="org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext">
    <constructor-arg>
      <list>
        <value>/cct-serviceContext.xml</value>
      </list>
    </constructor-arg>
  </bean>
</beans>

It seems spring could not load config file cct-beanRefContext.xml, so no bean named 'service-context' is defined.

The folder with all config files are in classpath, and everything is readable for all. I'm using Spring 1.2.6 and WebSphere 5.1.

Anyone has the problem before? Thanks.

I forgot to restart WebSphere Server after I changed file access mode.
