DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser NoClassDefFoundError in RC1

[tpurcell]

Hello

I've been working with the new JMS functionality in 2.0 rc1 and I've started to get a NoClassDefFoundError for DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser. I've been download the snapshots and building over the last month and I'm currently using build 50. DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser is not in the source tree. I've checked 54 and its not there either.

In checking what I've downloaded it IS in build 20. For the time being I'm guessing its okay to just copy what's in 20 over to 50 and re-build but I thought some one should know.

Thanks
Tom

Okay,

Iwas wrong. Copying over DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser from build 20 to build 50 did not work. I'm getting compile errors about it not overriding abstract methods and the use of a deprecated API.

Thanks
Tom

More information,

What I'm trying to do is run an ActiveMQ broker embedded in Tomcat. In trying to do that I got the following stack trace.

In seraching the ActiveMQ forums I found the solution was to use the xbean-spring-2.2.jar. So I added that to my lib directory and then I got:

So it appears its a version incompatibility problem between Spring/Xbean/ActiveMQ. I'm not sure where to go from here. I'll post the information on the various forums. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

To resolve this issue you have to update xbean-spring to version >=2.4

[tpurcell]

Thanks, but it appears that the most current jar available on the XBeans site is 2.3. Do you know where I can get 2.4?

Thanks
Tom

Hi!

I have got the same problem after changing Spring from v1.2.8 to 2.0. I've tried all available xbean-spring versions (v2.2 thru v.2.6) but they all cause some kind of exception.

Have you solved your problem? And if so, how?
