Configuration Issues

[rahularke]

Hi everyone,
I am new to Spring Frameworks and am using eclipse IDE to run it.
I tried a simple program....which seems to be giving some runtime exceptions when I run it.

The config.xml is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">


<bean id = "firstbean"
class = "InjectionBean"
p:name = "andy"
p:roll = "2121"
p:dept = "Engg"
p:college = "BU"/>

</beans>

My InjectionBean.java is as follows:
public class InjectionBean {
private String name, roll, dept, college;

public String getName() {
return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}

public String getRoll() {
return roll;
}

public void setRoll(String roll) {
this.roll = roll;
}

public String getDept() {
return dept;
}

public void setDept(String dept) {
this.dept = dept;
}

public String getCollege() {
return college;
}

public void setCollege(String college) {
this.college = college;
}

@Override
public String toString() {
return "InjectionBean [college=" + college + ", dept=" + dept + ", name="
+ name + ", roll=" + roll + ", toString()=" + super.toString()
+ "]";
}

}


And I have a main class(Main.java) that runs this app.

import org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanFacto ry;
import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;


public class Main {

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
XmlBeanFactory beanXml = new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource("config.xml"));
InjectionBean firstBean = (InjectionBean) beanXml.getBean("firstbean");
System.out.println(firstBean);
}

}


When I am running the main class.....as a java application...I am getting the following error/exception.

Jul 8, 2009 6:35:47 PM org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefin itionReader loadBeanDefinitions

... 4 more

I have the commons-logging-1.0.1.jar and spring.jar included in my eclipse project. Any response in this regard shall be highly appreciated.

regards,
Rahul

Try this instead of using classPathResource in the Main.java

ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("pathtoconfig.xml") ;
BeanFactory mybean = (BeanFactory) context;
