Javax.servlet.ServletException

Question

I've just come onboard with a new team and I am trying to run their project within eclipse using GWT. I know the code is fine, but I keep getting a similar error.

javax.servlet.ServletException: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'reportExporterService' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/adminportal-config.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'reportService' while setting bean property 'reportService'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'reportService' defined in class path resource [springconfig-service.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'transactionManager' while setting bean property 'transactionManager'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManager' defined in class path resource [springconfig-dao.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'sessionFactory' while setting bean property 'sessionFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [springconfig-dao.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/LoggerFactory

Is there a plugin or compaibilty issue that you know of that could be causing this? Assuming the code itself is fine as I'm trying to run a stable release. Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Looks like your project is missing slf4j jar(s).

Answer 2

It is a Spring bean configuration error: check that all the necessary Spring definitions are correct and that the Spring context xml files are in the right places.

Answer 3

If you are using Eclipse and have dependent projects to your web application, you need to add them to your workspace and have them open.
