simple applicationContext.xml sample

[ICEGregory]

Does anyone care to share a full, non-snippet copy of applicationContext.xml that will work with the minimal namespace example outlined in chapter 2 of the reference guide? Thanks in advance.

You mean something like:

<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
  xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/security
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.0.xsd">

    <http>
       <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />
       <form-login />
       <logout />
    </http>

    <authentication-manager>
        <authentication-provider>
          <user-service>
            <user name="jimi" password="jimispassword" authorities="ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN" />
            <user name="bob" password="bobspassword" authorities="ROLE_USER" />
          </user-service>
        </authentication-provider>
    </authentication-manager>

</beans:beans>

?

Thank you. It still doesn't work with the 3.0.2 version of this error (http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?t=50659) but at least it's not a SAX Exception.

I notice that the namespace declaration portion is different from the one shown on your blog which was where I had wound up after a day. As an admittedly new user porting an existing security 2.0.x app to 3.0.x I'd like to gently point out that it's been very difficult to find a complete and fresh baseline example. The tutorials don't declare namespaces and the reference documentation doesn't either. It may have been me. One's eyes do tend to fog.

Thanks again.

Almost all the sample applications use the namespace, so they do have the schemas declared. We'd generally recommend that you start with a working sample war file (such as the "tutorial" sample), rather than trying to put together something from scratch as that avoids issues such as classpath problems.
