So I am taking Enunciate for a spin and have run into an issue

  • 0

So I am taking Enunciate for a spin and have run into an issue when my servlet starts up. For some reason, despite the file being there, in the classpath, and everything being specified correctly, Spring tells me the following:

09-15@15:36:31 ERROR org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader - Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-user-config.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [WEB-INF/classes/resources/hibernate.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist

    at org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource.getInputStream(ClassPathResource.java:142)
    at org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean.buildSessionFactory(LocalSessionFactoryBean.java:656)

The structure is that I have applicationContext.xml (generated by Enunciate), web.xml and spring-user-config.xml inside WEB-INF and then hibernate.xml at WEB-INF/classes/resources.

I’ve tried it all, relative vs. absolute paths, using “classpath:”, and I just can’t think of any other reason why it wouldn’t be found.

This is where the sessionFactory bean is declared inside my spring-user-config.xml file:

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
        <property name="dataSource">
            <ref local="dataSource"/>
        </property>
        <property name="hibernateProperties">
            <ref bean="exampleHibernateProperties"/>
        </property>
        <!-- Must references all OR mapping files. -->
        <property name="mappingResources" value="WEB-INF/classes/resources/hibernate.xml">
      </property>
</bean>

Any help getting this to work would be greatly appreciated guys!

Thanks in advance.

    Try just

    <property name="mappingResources" value="resources/hibernate.xml" />
