Spring with Hibernate Integration

[Ravi Kiran Va]

Hello i am trying to learn .

After defining all the beans for Datasource , SessionFactory and more in the springs xml file , Can anybody tell me how the application will actually load this xml file in case of a web based application ?

<bean id="dataSource" 
  class="org.springframework
         .jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
    <property name="jndiname">
        <value>java:comp/env/jdbc/MyDataSource</value>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="sessionFactory" 
  class="org.springframework.orm
         .hibernate.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="dataSource">
        <ref bean="dataSource"/>
    </property>
</bean>

Thanks in advance .

Try this in your web.xml

<listener>
<listener-class> org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>


<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>

Thank you very much , and one more query

Is it sufficient to mention it like this or do i need to call this the context params in the Application also to load the XML file ??

<listener> 
<listener-class> org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class> 
</listener> 


<context-param> 
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> 
<param-value> 
/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml 
</param-value> 
</context-param>

Only like that.

For me work. I'm greenhorn with spring

It is sufficient, the ContextLoader will scan through your applicationContext.xml and do whatever it finds in there.
