Hi there,

I have a project composed of an Ear, several Web projects and several Java projects, which uses Spring Framework 2 for dependency injection, and configured using a global application context defined at the Ear level (so that multiple web project will use the same context), using the “parentContextKey” web.xml parameter. This works just fine under JBoss 4.2.0GA. However, deploying to Weblogic 10 (and probably older versions as well though I haven’t had the time to check on WL9), the file beanRefContext.xml (which is loaded by the context loader listener and contains the global context) is not found. This appears to be a known issue with Weblogic, that uses a special ‘APP-INF’ directory for stuff that should exist in the classpath.

Sadly, putting the configuration within this directory didn’t resolve the problem.

When loading the context directly from each web project’s WEB-INF directory, everything works.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Shai

Shai,
Can you paste the entire error message here for me.

Also, can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

Is there anything recorded under <workspace>/.metadata/.log file ?

Moving to OT > Soft Dev, this is a WL-specific question. Hopefully one of our other WL users can pitch in an idea or two.
