Spring and War exporting

[Emerson Macedo]

Hi,

In development time, I run my play application with play run, but in
production, I use it deployed on Jboss. My issue is that when I export
a WAR and deploy it, I get an error when using Spring as a Plugin.

See:
Spring context is not started !
The Spring application context is not started.

Any sugestions?

Try to copy the application-context.xml to WEB-INF/classes

[Emerson Macedo]

I did this but with no success ...

Note: when I export war, play don't create classes dir inside WEB-INF.
I created by myself. Why they dont compile classes into WEB-INF/
classes?

About Spring: any other sugetions?

[Guillaume Bort]

Because play never uses the class files, but rely directly on the Java sources.
There are no previous error from Spring ? It should just search for an
application-context.xml file in the classpath and try to load it.

[Emerson Macedo]

Before Spring error, I have an error from LOG, that I'm trying to
solve. See:

11:47:41,182 ERROR ~ Oops. Error in Logger !
java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException: Conversion = 'F'
at java.util.Formatter$FormatSpecifier.conversion(Formatter.java:
2605)

at java.util.Formatter.format(Formatter.java:2413)
at java.util.Formatter.format(Formatter.java:2366)
at java.lang.String.format(String.java:2770)

After this, I'm involking an Action that uses Spring, and than, I get
the error. See the line of my code:
MyClass myClass = (MyClass)Spring.getBean
(Play.configuration.getProperty("myclass.bean"));

The name of class is a fake, because I cant post the real name because
is from my company.

I put application-context.xml in WEB-INF/application/conf/ and WEB-INF/
classes and still have the same error.

Thanks,

Emerson

Hum.
Do you have a custom play.plugins file in your conf/ directory ? If so
put it to the WEB-INF/classes directory as well.

Basically all files under the conf/ directory must be discoverable
using the classpath. But in WAR mode, they are not ... they should be
copied to the WEB-INF/classes directory by the 'play war' command. It
is a bug.

Let me know if it works. Thank !

[Emerson Macedo]

Yes, it works. Thanks.

By the way, to run Spring properly in war mode, we need only
application-context.xml and play.plugins in WEB-INF/classes as you
said before.

I've made a task in my build script to copy these files and now
everything is ok.

I just need one more help with the log problem I said before. Can you
help me with this?

Thanks!!

This because the log message contains something like %F and the logger
try to transform it using String.format().

My latest commit fix both problems (logger & war export).
Can you test and tell me if that work ?

Thank.
