Not Intializing Spring beans on Server start-up

[pnknaga Kumar]

Hi ,

We are using MyEclipse Blue 10.1 IDE and Websphere 7 as a server to deploy our application. Our application contains Spring & Hibernate. I have configured the server into MyEclipse and running in Debug Mode. We are getting below ecxeptions while server start-up. It seems that its not able to initialize Spring beans.

But when I run the server in Running Mode application is working fine.

Exception:

Is websphere uses different Jars in Debug mode ?

Can anyone please look into this issue and help me.

Thanks In Advance,
Nagendra

Thats your root problem.

Bummer you ahve to use WebSphere, but that is what IBM does, it couples to all IBM and IBM doesn't ever want to play nice with anyone else. ;)

So it looks like they have a TransformerFactoryImpl that is implementing a TransformerFactory interface from a different version.

I mean a TransformerFactoryImpl looks like it should be implementing the TransformerFactory interface. And it probably does. But in your classpath you might have version xxx.x of the TransformerFactory interface, but ibm's Impl is implementing version yyy.y of the Transformer interface.

I can't help much more after that. Sorry, I avoid IBM especially WebSphere. I run far into the hills. ;)

Ditto to what Mark said unfortunately I am unable to avoid IBM 100% of the time

Anyway you can try to change the classloader configuration in websphere to Parent last, otherwise you will start having to get a bit more creative if that does not work.
