Integrating Cassandra with Apache Ignite - caching

Question

I have downloaded the 2.7.5 binary of Apache Ignite. I referred to the xml file in the Cassandra-Ignite integration official docs. However, all the beans are failing to load. The configuration file is in my desktop folder. Running Ignite from the folder where I have extracted the binary zip.
The error:
Failed to instantiate Spring XML application context [springUrl=file:/C:/Users/Username/Desktop/ignite-con-new.xml, err=Configuration problem: Failed to import bean definitions from URL location
The config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I understand it is failing to find the bean locations. What do you think is a possible fix to this?

Answer 1

Rule of thumb of reading Spring errors is scrolling all the way down.
nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException:
class path resource [org/apache/ignite/tests/cassandra/connection-settings.xml]
cannot be opened because it does not exist
Looks like the resource is not where your XML expects it to be. Please note that src/main/resources can contain arbitrary directory structure, such as src/main/resources/org/apache/ignite/tests/cassandra <-- maybe that's where the file should go?
