Spring Framework 4.0.3 BeanDefinitionStoreException Unexpected exception parsing XML document from ServletContext resource

Bomberlatinos9 picture Bomberlatinos9 · Apr 16, 2014 · Viewed 7.3k times · Source

I have try the new release of spring framework 4.0.3, and I have found a strange behavior during the use of context:component-scan tag.

I have try to cut off context:component-scan, ad use <context:annotation-config> tag, and all goes well. So I would like to understand why if i use on my applicationContext.xml, <context:component-scan base-package="org.example"/> i received a BeanDefinitionStoreException: Unexpected exception parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError.

I have try add version 4.0 to XSD schema location, but the problem remains. I would like to know if it is a bug or something is to add to my applicationContext that is not advice on spring framework official site.

thanks to all.

On my web.xml i have :

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

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

And my applicationContext.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">


        <context:component-scan base-package="com.my.service"></context:component-scan>

  </beans>

When I launch deploy on JBOss 5.1, I a found the following exception:

Support for JBoss 5's VFS has been removed. This is the commit in Github related to this issue. This has, also, been brought up in the Spring forum.
