Hello there,

I am experiencing a BeanDefinitionStoreException when I try to invoke a web app that I built using Spring.

My environment:

-JDK 1.5
-Tomcat 5.5.9
-MyEclipse IDE plug-in
-Spring 1.2 Core Libraries (which comes bundled with MyEclipse)
-Spring 1.2 Web Libraries (which comes bundled in with MyEclipse; includes the spring-mvc.jar)
-OS X Tiger

Here’s some of my code details:

My applicationContext.xml file (located under the src dir):


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

<beans>
    <bean id="store" class="com.webshop.util.LineItems">
        <property name="storeName">
            <value>"Sunrise Schwinn"</value>
        </property>
    </bean>
    <bean id="commandLineView" class="com.webshop.view.CommandLineView">
        <property name="store">
            <ref bean="store"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
</beans>

My webShop-Servlet.xml file (located under WEB-INF ):


<beans>
    <bean id="store" class="com.webshop.util.LineItems">
        <property name="storeName">
            <value>Sunrise Schwinn</value>
        </property>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="productsController" class="com.webshop.controller.ProductsController">
        <property name="facade">
            <ref bean="store"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="editProductController" class="com.webshop.controller.EditProductController">
        <property name="facade">
            <ref bean="store"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="submitProductController" class="com.webshop.controller.SubmitProductController">
        <property name="facade">
            <ref bean="store"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
        <property name="mappings">
            <props>
                <prop key="/products.products">productsController</prop>
                <prop key="/editProduct.products">editProductController</prop>
                <prop key="/newProduct.products">editProductController</prop>
                <prop key="/submitProduct.products">submitProductController</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>
</beans>

My web.xml file:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.4" 
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" 
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee 
    http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>webShopApp</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>webShopApp</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.products</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

I use the exploded package option (hot deploy) when deploying the app. The MyEclipse plug-in gracefully places all the right jar files under /WEB-INF/lib.

Now, when I launch Firefox or Safari and point the browser to: http://localhost:8080/webshop

I receive this error message:


javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet.init() for servlet webShopApp threw exception

This error report is really annoying! :banghead:

Any suggestions, help, and tips are greatly appreciated!

Many, many thanks!

I made a mistake in the original posting:

It happens when I point it to http://localhost:8080/webshop/products.products

not

when I point it to http://localhost:8080/webshop (which I posted in the first message).

How can I edit mistakes that I made after post?

untz ,

You have chosen the name webShopApp for your servlet and webShop-Servlet.xml for your context file.
Rename webShop-Servlet.xml to webShopApp-servlet.xml.

Snjeza:

Thank you for the response…

I tried your suggestion and it still doesn’t work…

Received a new error message:

I renamed webshop-Servlet.xml to webshopApp-servlet.xml and as you can see it threw this new error message of:


"org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException:
 Line 1 in XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/webShopApp-servlet.xml] is invalid; 
 nested exception is org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Document root element "beans", must match DOCTYPE root "null"."

Inside the webShopApp-servlet.xml:


<beans>
    <bean id="store" class="com.webshop.util.LineItems">
        <property name="storeName">
            <value>Sunrise Schwinn</value>
        </property>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="productsController" class="com.webshop.controller.ProductsController">
        <property name="facade">
            <ref bean="store"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="editProductController" class="com.webshop.controller.EditProductController">
        <property name="facade">
            <ref bean="store"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="submitProductController" class="com.webshop.controller.SubmitProductController">
        <property name="facade">
            <ref bean="store"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
        <property name="mappings">
            <props>
                <prop key="/products.products">productsController</prop>
                <prop key="/editProduct.products">editProductController</prop>
                <prop key="/newProduct.products">editProductController</prop>
                <prop key="/submitProduct.products">submitProductController</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>
</beans>

Does anyone know what’s wrong?

untz,

Sorry, somebody made the mistake to close your post.
Please, add DOCTYPE declaration to xml file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

Spring can’t validate xml file without this declaration.

Snjeza
