[Springframework-developer] Hibernate and mapping resources

[Lars F. <lar...@gm...>]

Still playing around with Spring and Hibernate ...

Data source works fine now, I just tested renaming the JNDI value to a wrong
name and I get
a very good error message.

Next step is to define something like

 <bean id="exampleSessionFactory"
class="com.interface21.orm.hibernate.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="mappingResources">
      <list>
        <value>Employee.hbm.xml</value>
      </list>
    </property>
    <property name="hibernateProperties">
      <props>
        <prop
key="hibernate.dialect">net.sf.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</prop>
        <prop key="hibernate.query.substitutions">true=1 false=0</prop>
        <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
      </props>
    </property>
    <property name="dataSource">
      <ref bean="exampleDataSource"/>
    </property>
  </bean>

'Employee.hbm.xml' is located in /WEB-INF/classes in the war file and points
to the Employee
class with the appropriate package name (like in the webapp-hibernate
skeleton).
I've tested this outside of Spring and can insert a new Employee into the
database.

When inside the war with Spring I get the following error message:

21.08.2003 12.29 Uhr CEST> <Warning> <HTTP> <BEA-101162> <User defined
listener com.interface21.web.context.ContextLoaderListener failed:
com.interface21.context.ApplicationContextException: Cannot load configuration: problem
instantiating or initializing beans; nested exception is:
        com.interface21.beans.FatalBeanException: No property
[mappingResources] in class [class com.interface21.orm.hibernate.LocalSessionFactoryBean].>

I don't think this is very useful because it doesn't tell you exactly what
is wrong (like using
a wrong data source name).

Could this be a classpath issue ? In my example app without spring the
*.hbm.xml is located
in the same directory as the class.

Thanks for your help
