Object Pooling Problem - minSize?

[madisonDave]

Hi

I am testing Object Pooling using the Commons framework from Apache (Spring 1.2.8)

The applicationContext.xml looks like this (see bold below):

<beans>
<bean id="pooledBean" class="com.winterthur.test.web.spring.TestPooledBe an" singleton="false">

</bean>

<bean id="poolTargetSource" class="org.framework.aop.target.CommonsPoolTargetS ource">
<property name="targetBeanName" value="pooledBean"/>
<property name="minSize" value="2"/>
<property name="maxSize" value="10"/>
</bean>

<bean id="pool" class="org.springframework.aop.framewokr.ProxyFact oryBean">
<property name="targetSource" ref="poolTargetSource"/>
</bean>

</beans>

When I start my web application inside of Ecplise I am getting the following exception - though I don't see any settings for minimum size:

Hi

In my servlet the code I use to access the bean is:

ApplicationContext ac = new XmlWebApplicationContext();

int count = 10;
Vector holder = new Vector();
for (int i=0; i < count; i++){
PooledInterface tpb = (TestPooledBean)ac.getBean("pooledBean");
holder.add(tpb);
}

On the class 'org.framework.aop.target.CommonsPoolTargetSource' there is no property with the name minSize. Remove that line and you should be good to go.

[madisonDave]

Hi

I initially didn't have that line in the applicationContext.xml and had problems, so I tried adding that line. I have since removed it and am still having the same problem.

Thanks.

David

[Marten Deinum]

Is it really the same problem? because when I look at the stacktrace

[7/17/06 9:00:44:359 CDT] 00000019 ContextLoader E TRAS0014I: The following exception was logged org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'poolTargetSource' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyExcep tion: Invalid property 'minSize' of bean class [org.springframework.aop.target.CommonsPoolTargetSo urce]: Bean property 'minSize' is not writable or has an invalid setter method: Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?

The only thing I can conclude is that you are trying to set a property (minSize) which doesn't have a setter (there is no setter for minSize in that class).

Could it be that you have an old context.xml file hanging around somewhere? Which gets loaded before the correct one? Try a full/cleanrebuild of your project (or remove the applicationContext.xml from your build directory), this might get rid of any old files hanging around.

Could you post, the stacktrace and config without the minsize property?.

[Injecteer]

well, according to the JavaDoc, the CommonsPoolTargetSource class has a property minIdle (not minSize!). I would be very surprised, if instead of NotWritablePropertyException you saw something else

BTW, what kind of problems you had *before*?

Hi

I have now addressed the comments above and am getting the following errors:

Any ideas?

[Injecteer]

you are missing the ciglib library in your classpath.

you can find one within the spring distribution: cglib-2.1.3-no-dep.jar.

you will also need a copuple of other jars:

antrl.jar
log4j.jar
etc.

all of them can be found in the dist.

[madisonDave]

First off thank you so much for your help. I have the issues resolved you mentioned including adding the jars. The web app starts ok, but when I call the servlet which should be able to access the pool of objects I am getting:

ApplicationContext ac = new XmlWebApplicationContext();

int count = 10;
Vector holder = new Vector();
for (int i=0; i < count; i++){
PooledInterface tpb = (TestPooledBean)ac.getBean("pooledBean");
holder.add(tpb);
}

IN the code above I see that you construct a applicationcontext but you do not initialize it. So before getting beans call refresh().

However I think a beter way to load/init the applicationcontext is bij using the ContextLoaderListener or Servlet. Then from your servlet access the ApplicationContext by getting it from the servletcontext.

ApplicationContext ctx = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(getServletContext());
