I am trying to get dpHibernate 2.0 RC6 running on an Apache Tomcat 7.0.12

  • 0

I am trying to get dpHibernate 2.0 RC6 running on an Apache Tomcat 7.0.12 with BlazeDS 4.0.0.14931, Spring 3.0.5 and Spring-BlazeDS-Integration 1.5.0.M2

I got pretty far with my configuration, the services are parsed fine, annotation based Entities and Datamodel are good, I can list the services in FlashBuilder DCD, but as soon as I am calling a service method (just a simple void method) the server returns following Exception. Not really sure where in my configuration I could have missed something, as I understood from the docs the rest is auto wired.

    Thanks for the help, finally I could narrow it down to FlexContext.getServletContext(); returning “null” in SpringContextSerializerFactory.java line 110 (dpHibernate current “2.0” branch, springExtensions 3.0).

    Quick fix to this (staying compatible to the current implementation) was altering the code to look like the following:

        ServletContext servletContext = FlexContext.getServletContext();
        if(servletContext == null) // fix for Servlet Context must not be null exception during migration to Spring 3.0
            servletContext = FlexContext.getMessageBroker().getServletContext();
        context= WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
    

    Don’t know if I am doing something ugly here, but works for me. Just thinking … this line attempts to get the webapplication root context via the current servletContext, if this is null just get it via another one that must be there if this request gets here (which is the springMessageBrokerServlet).
