Error initalizing LDAPContextSource

[iboppana]

Hi,

I am a newbie to Spring LDAP. Trying to do a simple search.

I am using maven to build , entries in my pom.xml
<code>
<!-- SPRING-FRAMEWORK LIBS -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<type>jar</type>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.ldap</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-ldap-core</artifactId>
<version>1.3.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.ldap</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-ldap-core-tiger</artifactId>
<version>1.3.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<!-- END - SPRING-FRAMEWORK LIBS -->

</code>

Spring context file
<code>
<!-- Spring LDAP configuration -->
<bean id="contextSource"
class="org.springframework.ldap.core.support.LdapC ontextSource">
<property name="url" value="ldap://localhost:389" />
<property name="base" value="dc=COXMedia" />
<property name="userDn" value="cn=SuperAdmin,dc=COXMedia" />
<property name="password" value="secret" />
<property name="pooled" value="true"/>
</bean>

<bean id="ldapTemplate" class="org.springframework.ldap.core.LdapTemplate" >
<constructor-arg ref="contextSource" />
</bean>
<bean id="ldapReport"
class="com.coxnet.idm.dao.ldap.ReportsDAOLdapImpl" >
<property name="ldapTemplate" ref="ldapTemplate" />
</bean>

<!-- End LDAP Configuration -->
</code>

When deploying the application getting the following error

<code>

I will be really thankful for any help.

I was able to get pass the road block.
It was due a jar conflict. I was having older version of commons-lang.jar in the classpath.
