stuck with org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption

[Manish.online]

Hi,

Following is my configuration file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">
<beans>

<bean id="cacheFactory" class="com.tangosol.net.DefaultConfigurableCacheFa ctory">
<constructor-arg value="cache-config-client.xml" />
</bean>


<bean id="invocationService" factory-bean="cacheFactory" factory-method="ensureService">
<constructor-arg type="java.lang.String" value="remoteInvocationService"/>
</bean>

</beans>

and the code snippet creating beans from this file is :

context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
new String[] {"beans-bootstrap.xml"});

but this is not working and throwing the exception mentioned in the subject line.
Following is the error stack trace :

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'invocationService' defined in class path resource [beans-coherence.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionSt oreException: Factory method [public com.tangosol.net.Service com.tangosol.net.DefaultConfigurableCacheFactory.e nsureService(java.lang.String)] threw exception; nested exception is com.tangosol.net.messaging.ConnectionException

Can anyone suggest what is the problem with the configuration? Does the problem lies with spring container or the bean is not geting created because of com.tangosol.net.messaging.ConnectionException

I am using spring-core-2.5.0 and my java version is Java 1.5.0_14

@Manish,

You have a nested exception "com.tangosol.net.messaging.ConnectionExceptio n", but you have not posted the message of this exception e.g. "could not establish a Socket connection to one of the remote addresses specified in the...".

But to answer your question: "Does the problem lie with spring container?", the problem is not Spring Container, but the way you configure your cache bean. It seems that the Coherence Service, that you are trying to "ensure", is not running, and Coherence throws you a "nice" ConnectionException.

Thanks Anatoly,

I figured the problem out. The problem was indeed with ensureService. When I resolved that the above mentioned issue disappeared. Earlier I was concentrating on Spring's bean creation aspect and ignoring the connectionException.

Thanks for your reply.
