Question

I am working on a mule application. The application is successfully packaged and installed on a mule stand alone server.

The same project when tried to run on a eclipse ide is giving errors. Struggling with this error.

I am using Maven as the builder.

Please help. Given below is the error.

Please help.

Answer 1

I have got the solution for my problem.
The reason is the spring beans are declared in a applicationContext.xml file outside of the mule-config and then imported.
This was causing the issue.
When all the spring beans are declared inside the mule-config its working fine now.

Thanks all for the help.
