Question

I am trying to activate spring profile in my application.To do so,

i have added one parameter in web.xml to activate the default profile.

<context-param>
<param-name>spring.profiles.active</param-name>
<param-value>dev</param-value>
<context-param>

This my jdbc file which manipulates the properties.
and my jdbc.context.xml file is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

     <beans profile="dev">
        <bean id="dataSource" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource" destroy-method="close">
            <property name="driverClass" value="${jdbc.driverClassName}"/>
            <property name="jdbcUrl" value="${jdbc.url}"/>
            <property name="user" value="${jdbc.username}"/>
            <property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}"/>
            </bean>
        <bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
            <property name="dataSource">
                <ref bean="dataSource" />
            </property>
            <property name="packagesToScan" value="com.i2sm.common" />
            <property name="hibernateProperties">
                <props>
                    <prop key="hibernate.dialect">${jdbc.hibernate.dialect}</prop>
                    <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
                </props>
            </property>
        </bean>
  </beans>
</beans>

But when i restart my Tomcat server, it throws me following exception

java.lang.IllegalStateException: ApplicationEventMulticaster not initialized - call 'refresh' before multicasting events via the context: Root WebApplicationContext: startup date [Sun Dec 23 00:57:22 GMT 2012]; root of context hierarchy

    Any Suggestion?

Answer 1

I think you need to specify spring.profiles.default as the context-param instead of spring.profiles.active.

<context-param>
    <param-name>spring.profiles.default</param-name>
    <param-value>dev</param-value>
</context-param>

Look at this question and refer this.
