No bean named 'anyBean' is defined [Just want Spring an iBatis together]

[soeren]

Hello folks,

I'm so frustrated. I'm working on this problem since yesterday and I'm just dancing around the problem. It have to be a very simple issue. Hope so!

OK, i've this file/folder structure:

myProject.src.java.myProject.domain.User.java
myProject.src.java.myProject.domain.maps.User.xml
myProject.src.java.myProject.service.Administrable.java
myProject.src.java.myProject.service.UserManager.java
myProject.web.WEB-INF.applicationContext.xmlmyProject.web.WEB-INF.sqlmap-config.xml
myProject.test.myProject.service.UserManagerTest.java

applicationContext.xml

<?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="dataSource"
        class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"
        destroy-method="close">
        <property name="driverClassName"
                  value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
        <property name="url"
                  value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/" />
        <property name="username" value="root" />
        <property name="password" value="pass" />
    </bean>
 
    <bean id="sqlMap"
        class="org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapClientFactoryBean">
        <property name="configLocation" value="classpath:sqlmap-config.xml" />
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
    </bean>
 
    <bean id="userManager" class="myProject.service.UserManager">
        <property name="sqlMapClient" ref="sqlMap" />
    </bean>
    
</beans>

sqlmap-config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE sqlMapConfig PUBLIC "-//ibatis.apache.org//DTD SQL Map 2.0//EN"
    "http://ibatis.apache.org/dtd/sql-map-config-2.dtd">
 
<sqlMapConfig>
    <sqlMap resource="myProject.domain.maps.User.xml" />
</sqlMapConfig>

And in my UserManagerTest.java I do this

        ClassPathXmlApplicationContext ac = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
                "classpath:**/web/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml");
        Administrable administrable = (Administrable)ac.getBean("userManager");

And it keeps and keeps saying: "No bean named 'userManager' is defined."
I checked get ac.getAliases() and it contains nothing. What is wrong?

I need help!

Thank you all for hints to solve this.

OK I just got it fixed.
I solved the problem by moving the spring xml files to classpath-root.
I think I used "classpath:**/" wrong. I'm very new to this java things.

I'm better in coding little C.

For those of you who may have found this via a web search - this problem may occur if somewhere on your classpath there exists an older version of the applicationContext.xml file
(either resident on the server or in some other location on your classpath) which may not be updated when you update the application during the edit and deploy process.

To solve the problem, perform a search on your system, locate any applicationContext.xml file - open it, if the file is associated with your application, verify that it references beans which you've added in your most recent iteration of development.

If not, and you prefer not to delete these files, update their contents by copying and pasting the most updated applicationContext file into the ones which are found. I hope this makes sense.
