Problem in one Spring2.0.7 web application...

[raj kumarb]

Hi All,

I am trying to creating a small sample dynamic web application using spring 2.0.7 and weblogic 9.1 server in eclipse 3.3(eclipse europa).

But i am getting the following error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/XmlBeanFactory
at com.netapp.smart.SpringServlet.doPost(SpringServlet.java:60)
at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:763)

===============================

This error is occuring in the 60th line of the doPost method of my "SpringServlet" servlet:

that line is:
BeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource("DataCon.xml"));

DataCon.xml is my Spring configuration file.
Could you please tell me, why this error is coming.
and Please tell me the exact location of the DataCon.xml file, where should i put this spring configuration file. Currently this file is at the following location:
"Project Folder"\build\classes\DataCon.xml

Please help me. This is my first post.
Thanks in advance:

your error has nothing to do with the location of the file, it the class. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/beans/factory/xml/XmlBeanFactory means that it cannot find the class XmlBeanFactory that is located in the package org.springframework.beans.factory.xml, Make sure you have spring.jar file in your classpath when you deploy the application - that class is in that jar file.
