initialization fail error on applicationcontext getbean

[jimmy6]

i will get initialization fail error when i use ajax or webservice to call backend. It only occur when i first start tomcat and use webservice. The error only can solve once i view the page and do any transaction on web after start tomcat.Then only can use webservice to call. It is because spring has not initialise he applicationcontext and then webservice go and getBean. So any suggestion?

[Colin Yates]

Can you please post stack trace and your spring -servlet.xml file.

[Colin Yates]

Can you post FinanceWebService.java as well please

Also, can you wrap the code postings in code tags please.

[jimmy6]

	static{
		appContext = FacesContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(
				FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());	
	}

	public static Object lookupBean(String beanName) {		
		return appContext.getBean(beanName);
	}

The error is because of appContext.getBean(beanName)

[Colin Yates]

Ah OK; a JSF app, for which I have zero experience unfortunately.

Are you sure line 44 is in the static methods? The exception seems to be coming from the constructor, not the static methods....

[jimmy6]

Yup, because inside the constructor will call the getBean.

[Colin Yates]

Yup, because inside the constructor will call the getBean.

The fragment of code you posted doesn't include a constructor....

[manifoldronin]

Just throwing an idea out here - try setting 'load-on-startup' for all the servlets explicitly.

Also, when tomcat starts, the log should show whether the app context has been initialized - it generates lots of logging, you can't miss it.

[jimmy6]

yes, i saw those logging in console but the error still will exist. Why?
