Integration tests doesn't work after upgrading spring from 2.5.1 to (2.5.6.SEC01)

[Anand Krishnanandam]

Hi,
I recently upgraded spring from 2.5.1 to 2.5.6.SEC01, Struts from 2.0.11 to 2.1.6, hibernate to 3.3.1.

After upgrading my integration tests don't seem to work. My application is up and running fine. Its just that my test cases throw the following error.

  org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'messageSource' defined in file [C:\apps\workspace\intrax\src\main\resources\applicationContext-service.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionAttributeSourceAdvisor#0' defined in file [C:\apps\workspace\intrax\target\classes\applicationContext-service.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'txInterceptor' while setting bean property 'transactionInterceptor'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'txInterceptor' defined in file [C:\apps\workspace\intrax\src\main\resources\applicationContext-service.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'txManager' while setting bean property 'transactionManager'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'txManager' defined in file [C:\apps\workspace\intrax\src\main\resources\applicationContext-service.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'sessionFactory' while setting bean property 'sessionFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in file [C:\apps\workspace\intrax\src\main\resources\applicationContext-database.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException

I have been working to fix my integration tests for the past 2 days. I don't know why it would work on tomcat (my application runs fine) and not on my test cases. Does any of you come across such weirdness?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Anand.

Check your connection provider. This is probally a missing .jar or a XML typo. Post your sessionFactory declaration and connection retrieving methods (if any).

I checked out my project fresh, installed the jars and tried the tests as first thing. It gave me the same error. So I cannot think of any typo.

This doesn't make any sense. What was so different from 2.5.1 to 2.5.6.SEC01 that my application works and my test cases fail.

Does anybody has an answer? I am stuck for a week in this upgrade.

Thanks in advance for your help.
