Spring + Hibernate + Zk : java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.conte

[abdelmonaem]

Hello,

I'm trying to do a web app using : Spring 2.5/Hibernate 3.0 (hbm.xml... and .cgf.xml) / and Zk (http://www.zkoss.org
framework.

but when i create an event to call my bean :

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("AppContext.xml");
BusinessLayer business = (BusinessLayer) ctx.getBean("business");

I have this exception.

I have spring.jar, spring-context.jar,...and alle spring 2.5.6 jars referenced in my buildpath

The fact that they are on your BUILD path doesn't automatically mean that they are also on your RUNTIME path!...

i suggest something like maven, ant/ivy or gradle to manage your dependencies and build your app...

Next to that you shouldn't create an applicationcontext to retrieve a bean!!! Well unless you want to end up with a poorly performing app, running out of resources, memory issues etc. etc....

You were right

I configured the dependecies from : "Properties/ Java JEE Module Dependencies"
and checked the librairies.

i had an other problem the "Appcontext.xml" and "hibernate.cfg.xml" were in a wrong directory.... !


I use this to call the bean :

BusinessLayer business = (BusinessLayer ) springutil.getBean("business ");

now it works

thank you very much
