Hi,
I've deployed a .aar to Axis 2, and I'm trying to use Spring within it.
However, when Spring tries to access it's applicationContext.xml file from
the classpath, it doesn't work. When I try to access the classpath in my own
code, using MResource() or
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().get Resource(), I can't find
the file either; and when I check the classloader roots of the current
context classloader, it only shows Tomcat
5.5\webapps\axis2_094\WEB-INF\classes - and not the .aar itself.
When I move my applicationContext.xml to the Axis WEB-INF/classes directory,
then Spring can find it, which is consistent with the behaviour above.
However, it then can't load any of my application classes - presumably
because they're not on the classpath available to my application.
I can presumably solve this by moving all of my code into the Axis
WEB-INF/lib directory - but this defeats the point of having an .aar!
What am I doing wrong, please? How can I get the contents of the .aar onto
the classpath of classes within that .aar?
(I'm running Axis 0.94 inside Tomcat 5.5.12 on Windows XP with JDK 1.5)
Cheers

Hi Inigo,

I also use Spring with Axis2, but in general I haven't trusted the aar
classloader due to some early problems around the .92 frame.

So I use a bare bones aar structure:

/META-INF
/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

/META-INF/services.xml
/com
/com/siemens
/com/siemens/swa
/com/siemens/swa/webservices

And put the rest of the classes - several hundred or so as its a big web app
and web services are only one part - into WEB-INF/classes . All the spring
etc jars go into WEB-INF/lib .

As far as spring goes, any bean dependencies in the skeleton are resolved with
an object factory. The rest of the beans, transactions for hibernate etc, get
loaded via web.xml, applicationContext.xml, serviceContext.xml etc as one
normally would do with Spring.

HTH,
iksrazal

I don't mean to sound negative, but what is the purpose of the aar archive
format? Why not just use the simple deployment model like axis 1.x?

Hi;

first its not bug in Axis2 , that is because we have concept call Service
isolation , there each service get its own classloder and which is created
using the archive file. So if you want to get some resources in archive file
you need to get the class loader from corresponding service and then load
your resources.

But in Spring case as I know you can not give that guy a class loader , what
it does is it gets the context class loader and try to load resources from
that. Since service has its own class loader you can not get service
resources from context class loader.

In that scenario the best way is put your those resources in WEB-INF/lib in
that case CCL will have access to those.

Thanks,
Deepal
