Problems with running a Hello World app in Spring framework

[Sekhar Kadiyala]

Hi...I am trying to manually run a simple hello world application in spring framework. I have added spring.jar to CLASSPATH and have below programs compiled correctly.

  
public class GreetingClass {
 
private String greeting;
 
public GreetingClass() { }
 
public void setGreeting(String greeting) {
this.greeting=greeting;
}
 
public void sayGreeting() {
 
System.out.println(greeting);
 
}
}
  

and

   
import org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.core.io.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class HelloApp{
 
public static void main(String args[]) {
 
System.out.println("Hello1");
FileSystemResource rs = new FileSystemResource("hello.xml");
System.out.println("Hello1.5");
[B]BeanFactory bfactory = new XmlBeanFactory(rs);[/B]
System.out.println("Hello2");
GreetingClass gc = (GreetingClass) bfactory.getBean("greetingService");
gc.sayGreeting(); 
 
}
}
 

Error is coming at the bold line
However, java HelloApp command is giving below error message

  
 
C:\Sekhar\Java>java HelloApp
Hello1
Hello1.5

It's probably missing the commons-logging on your classpath
