How to register ContextLoaderListener ?

HI All,

I am using Spring annotations. I am getting exception while accessing login page : java.lang.IllegalStateException: No WebApplicationContext found: no ContextLoaderListener registered?

I have written <context:component-scan base-package="XXX.XXX"/> in dispatcher-servlet.xml file.

Please help me in resolving this issue :

Thanks .

For adding ContextLoaderListener, you have to include the below tag in the web.xml.

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

But, how are you trying to load the dispatcher-servlet configuartion file ?

Could you please provide your dispatcher-servlet.xml file and web.xml so that we can drill down to the exact issue?

Thank you for replying ..

web.xml :

<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

dispatcher-servlet.xml :

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">

<context:component-scan base-package="com.xx.xx.client" />
</beans>

Do i need to do any thing extra other than this?

Servlet spec plays a major role in such type of errors. ContextLoaderListener works with all the continers supporting Servlet 2.4 spec and some servers supporting Servlet 2.3 spec.

Which Web container or application server (along with version) are you using ?

Please go through the below link to find more information.

I am using Tomcat 6 . It supports servlet 5 . so what must be the problem ?

Thank you .

the controller class & jsp are as follows :

@RequestMapping(value = "/loginForm",method=RequestMethod.GET)
public void loginForm(Model model)
{
System.out.println("in loginForm()##################");
model.addAttribute(new LoginForm());
}

@RequestMapping(value = "/login", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void onSubmit(@ModelAttribute LoginForm loginFormObj,Model model)
{
System.out.println("userId in onsubmit$$$$$$$$$$$"+loginFormObj.getUserId());
}

login.jsp has the form tag as :
<form:form method="POST" modelAttribute="loginForm" >

I guess you meant servlet 2.5..

Try adding

to web.xml.. Not required though, but you can check with this once

Thank you very much for your help .

My problem solved by adding @RequestMapping("login.do") annotation before start of class .
Also , added @RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET) before start of both methods and loginForm() is renamed to showLoginForm()... Thats it!

sorry for onSubmit() we need to use RequestMethod.POST and for showLoginForm we need to use RequestMethod.GET bcz that method will be loaded before loading the login.jsp.
