Hi,

I run into this problem when trying to deploy webapp based on spring-batch-admin-sample (available from git://github.com/SpringSource/spring-batch-admin.git). I removed many dependencies from the war and added appropriate imports, but I still wanted to keep all of the spring-batch-admin* bundles inside the war (on it's private classpath). Everything went fine until I changed the webapp's ApplicationContext class to ServerOsgiBundleXmlWebApplicationContext (in order to import some OSGi services). Suddenly, the application wasn't able to load some of the spring config files.

These configuration files are located in required libraries in WEB-INF/lib (and thus on bundle's private classpath), but ServerOsgiBundleXmlWebApplicationContext fails to locate them. It happens only when the resource pattern contains "absolute" path like classpath*:/org/springframework/batch/admin/web/resources/we bapp-config.xml. Changing the resource pattern to classpath*:org/springframework... fixes the problem. Unfortunaltely there are many places in spring-batch-admin with resource paths that cannot be resolved by ServerOsgiBundleXmlWebApplicationContext.

Solution might be as simple as removing leading slash from the path at some appropriate location within Spring-DM (maybe OsgiBundleResourcePatternResolver.findBundleClassPathMatchin gPaths).

Anyway, if you have some tip for a clean simple woraround, please respond. Otherwise this post might be just a piece of advice for others playing with Virgo & spring-batch.

Regards,
Martin

On the face of it, that looks like a bug. Please would you raise a bugzilla. If you can provide a minimal testcase to reproduce, that would be very helpful.

Actually I've just found out that it's already fixed in the 1.2.x branch of spring-osgi-io. I'm attaching a patch for 1.2.1 (which you can get from https://anonsvn.springframework.org/svn/spring-osgi/tags/spr ing-osgi-1.2.1/io). Hope it will help somebody else.

Well spotted! Then hopefully the problem will be fixed when Virgo upgrades from Spring DM 1.2.1 to Gemini Blueprint, which is the latest level. See bug 317943.

Hello,

I have some similar problem.

There are two bundles:
izol - standard bundle
zyzol - web bundle

Using Virgo 2.1.0 with Spring 3.0.5

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.4" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">

	<context-param>
		<param-name>contextClass</param-name>

	<context-param>
		<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
		<param-value>classpath*:WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml classpath*:WEB-INF/bundle-context.xml</param-value>
	</context-param>

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

	<!-- Servlets -->
	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>greetServlet</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>pl.poznan.put.zyzol.server.GreetingServiceImpl</servlet-class>
	</servlet>

	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>greetServlet</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/Zyzol/greet</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>

	<servlet>
        <servlet-name>roosample</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
            <param-value>classpath*:/WEB-INF/spring/webmvc-config.xml</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>roosample</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/sample</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    
	<!-- Default page to serve -->
	<welcome-file-list>
		<welcome-file>Zyzol.html</welcome-file>
	</welcome-file-list>

</web-app>

Context for webmvc-config.xml loads from the both bundles and for bundle-context.xml only from the zyzol bundle, where the web.xml is stored.

Link to the sample project: http://bit.ly/f8vyOS

Is there any way to force beans loading from bundle-context.xml from the both bundles?

Regards,
Artur
