Newbie : AbstractDependencyInjectionSpringContextTests and Spring xml file

[Arthur Loder]

Hi davout,

Your package as in Eclipse is com.eis.sor.hiberate.mysql, but in your applicationContext, you have com/eis/sor/hibernate/mysql.

Basically, you spelled 'Hibernate' wrong in Eclipse but correctly in your config file.

When you are having trouble like this, it always helps to decrease your chance for error by simplifying; I would have named the file "a.hbm.xml" and placed it directly in the "src" directory and tried to get that working first.

If you just map your src root then adding the code below should work.

<property name="mappingResources">
	<list>
		<value>com/eis/sor/hibernate/mysql/FinancialAccount.hbm.xml</value>
	</list>
</property>

@Override
   protected String[] getConfigLocations() {
      return new String[] {"classpath:conf/applicationContext.xml"};
   }

You still have to include the whole path to the file you want to load. Because conf/applicationContext.xml and applicationContext.xml could be 2 different files.

And I totally missed the spelling error Maybe it is time to leave for home, hanging around the office doesn't really clear your head.

Thanks...

Why is it that I need to add 'src/conf' as a source folder in Eclipse? This is required to enable the finding of the 'applicationContext.xml' returned by the 'getConfigLOcations' method...

protected String[] getConfigLocations() {
      return new String[] {"classpath:applicationContext.xml"};
}

Because you look for applicationContext.xml and not conf/applicationContext.xml. Classloaders do not check every directory for the existance of a certain file. You need the whole path to the file, within the classpath.

I found the problem...

In Eclipse when I added source folders for the two xml file locations, the Eclipse IDE added two exclusion entries for those same two locations under the original 'src' entry.

Hence, when I deleted the two xml file location source folders the exclusions were still in place under the original 'src' folder.

Many thanks for all those who took time to help this poor hapless soul!
