Solution :

I've add following Maven dependencies :

<dependency> <groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId> <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId> <version>2.0.0-Beta2</version> </dependency>

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener

Problem :

In JBoss 6.0.0 when I deploy my war, I have the following error :

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener

ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl cannot be cast to javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory

Problem :

When I deploy my war on JBoss 6.0.0, I have the following error :

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl cannot be cast to javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory


Here is an extract of my Maven pom.xml file :

   <dependency>
     <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
     <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
     <version>3.4.0.GA</version>
     <exclusions>
       <!-- Exclude Commons Logging in favor of SLF4j -->
       <exclusion>
         <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
         <artifactId>com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging</artifactId>
       </exclusion>
   </dependency>

Solution :

You have to exclude xml-apis because there is a conflict between xml-apis and librairies into JBoss (xeres-impl).
So you have to do the following :
     <dependency>
     <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
     <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
     <version>3.4.0.GA</version>
     <exclusions>
       <!-- Exclude Commons Logging in favor of SLF4j -->
       <exclusion>
         <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
         <artifactId>com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging</artifactId>
       </exclusion>
   <exclusion>
     <groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
     <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
   </exclusion>        
     </exclusions>
   </dependency>

SAXException: The content of element type "web-app" must match ...

Problem

I deploy a war in JBoss 6.0.0 ( idem JBoss 5.1), I have the following error :

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXException: The content of element type "web-app" must match "(icon?,display-name?,description?,distributable?,context-param*,filter*,filter-mapping*,listener*,servlet*,servlet-mapping*,session-config?,mime-mapping*,welcome-file-list?,error-page*,taglib*,resource-env-ref*,resource-ref*,security-constraint*,login-config?,security-role*,env-entry*,ejb-ref*,ejb-local-ref*)". @ vfs:///opt/jboss/jboss-6.0.0.Final/server/dr_jbossweb-standalone/deploy/getting-spring.war/WEB-INF/web.xml[53,11]

I check my web.xml and there is nothing abnormal :

  </servlet-mapping>

  <welcome-file-list>

    <welcome-file>

      index.jsp

    </welcome-file>

  </welcome-file-list>

</web-app>

So where is the error ?

Solution

The solution is simple but a little strange :

You have to put :

  <!--All spring configuration files need to be loaded in context. Although we have single file but

  with the growing configuration stuff we need to break down configuration files too-->

  <context-param>

    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>

    <param-value>classpath*:META-INF/spring/integration-*.xml</param-value>

  </context-param>

just before :

  <listener>

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

  </listener>

Cela donne le web.xml suivant :

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC

no declaration can be found for element 'aop:aspectj-autoproxy'

Problem :

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 15; columnNumber: 28; cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'aop:aspectj-autoproxy'.

Solution :


There is a problem with xsd and schema location.In web.xml, I checked xsi:schemaLocation and there is no spring-aop-3.0.xsd.So I modify the web.xml file like that :

How adding log4j in or application Spring3 Maven JBoss6 ?

For adding log4j with Maven, the first things that you want to do is :
<dependency>
  <groupId>log4j</groupId>
  <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.15</version>
</dependency>

You can't because of licensing issue of some fonctionnality in log4j.
I've found the explanation on http://unitstep.net/blog/2009/05/18/resolving-log4j-1215-dependency-problems-in-maven-using-exclusions/ :

If you’re using Maven to manage your project’s build and dependencies, you may have encountered some problems when trying to include the latest version of log4j as a dependency.
 Specifically, log4j 1.2.15 depends on some artifacts that are not available in the central Maven repository due to licensing issues, and thus when you try to build a project that depends on this version of log4j,
 you may not be able to download the artifacts and your build will fail.

So you have to do the following :
   <dependency>
     <groupId>log4j</groupId>
     <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
     <version>1.2.15</version>
     <exclusions>
       <exclusion>
         <groupId>javax.mail</groupId>
         <artifactId>mail</artifactId>
       </exclusion>
       <exclusion>
         <groupId>javax.jms</groupId>
         <artifactId>jms</artifactId>
       </exclusion>
       <exclusion>
         <groupId>com.sun.jdmk</groupId>
         <artifactId>jmxtools</artifactId>
       </exclusion>
       <exclusion>
         <groupId>com.sun.jmx</groupId>
         <artifactId>jmxri</artifactId>
       </exclusion>
     </exclusions>
   </dependency>


I've add log4j dependency on the trunk of my tutorial google project with Spring Maven et JBoss 6.0.0 : http://code.google.com/p/lin-mon-webapp/

Maven Spring3 JBoss 6 Hibernate example

I'm proud to announce the first version of the lin-mon-webapp project with Spring 3 Hibernate Maven on JBoss 6.The source code and the war is avalaible on Google project : http://code.google.com/p/lin-mon-webapp/To success, I get help from this blog : http://www.nabeelalimemon.com/blog/2010/05/spring-3-integrated-with-hibernate-part-a/ (thanks :-)))

To build and deploy the application you need the following :

-> Maven 2
-> JBoss 6 ( In jbossweb-standalone/lib/ vous devez mettre les jars suivants :  jstl-1.1.2.jar et standard-1.1.2.jar )
-> Mysql and to create a database with a table User :

create database integration;
GRANT ALL ON integration.* TO 'integration'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'integration';
flush privileges;
create table USER (   
user_id int(11) primary key,   
first_name varchar(30),   
last_name varchar(30),   
email varchar(30) );
insert into USER values (1, 'titi', 'toto', 'mail@gmail.com');

Then you can show the total number of user and the user list by accessing  at the following page : http://localhost:8080/monitor/users

In the next section, I will show you the most important project files.

First the web.xml in whicn we create the servlet monitor :

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
 "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
 "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd" >
<web-app>
  <display-name>Maven Spring MVC 3 with JBOSS 6 </display-name>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
classpath:/spring.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>
org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
</listener-class>
</listener>     
  
  <!-- Front servlet.  -->
  <servlet>
<servlet-name>monitor</servlet-name>
<display-name>monitor</display-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/monitor-servlet.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
 
<!-- Every request on / will be treat by monitor servlet. -->
  <servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>monitor</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

Then there is the monitor servlet which define the controller, view relover ... and also where to search controller methods:

monitor-servlet.xml :

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd"
default-autowire="byName">
<!-- Every contoller is automaticaly detect due to annotation @Controller.
    We define here in wich package the post processor have to search controller annotation -->
  <context:component-scan base-package="fr.dr.monitor.controller"/>  


<context:annotation-config/>


<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter"/>

<bean 
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" 
p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/" p:suffix=".jsp"/>
</beans>


The controller class contains this method :

@RequestMapping(value = "users", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView getUsers() {
  List<User> users = userDAO.getUsers();
  ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView("users");
  modelAndView.addObject("users", users);
  return modelAndView;
}

To do that the controller call UserDAO methods and Hibernate will retreive data in User table.
Here is the spring beans file that create Hibernate Session and datasource :

spring.xml

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

 <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/>

-->
<context:annotation-config/>

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">

 <property name="hibernateProperties">

</bean>



  <!--repository init area-->
  <bean id="repository.users" class="fr.dr.monitor.repository.UserDAO"
        autowire="constructor"/>
</beans>

The session factory will be inject to UserDAO to query on USER table :

UserDAO.java


@Repository
@Transactional
public class UserDAO implements IUser {


private SessionFactory sessionFactory;


@Autowired
public UserDAO(SessionFactory sessionFact) {
this.sessionFactory = sessionFact;
}


@Transactional
public User getUser(Long id) {
return (User) sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().get(User.class, id);
}


@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Transactional
public List<User> getUsers() {
return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery("from User user").list();
}


@Transactional
public void addUser(User user) {
sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(user);
}
}
