run spring test in netbeans ide - spring

In IDE Netbeans I've created a test class with annotations
#ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath:spring/spring-test.xml"})
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class).
In Test Packages folder I've create folder spring/spring-test.xml with configuration. But when I've try to run this test file I've got java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext.
What am I doing wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks

It should be useful to see the whole stack trace. However, I would check the test is finding the context xml configuration. The XML should be placed in src/test/resources. Another thing I would check is that all beans are find in this xml. Check any dependency failing to initialise.

Most likely the problem was related to Aether version mismatch. It's enough to bump version to Edgware release train where we've managed to shade Aether and finally Stub Runner is independent on the used Aether version.

Try to put applicationContext.xml in the src/main/resources folder and just give "applicationContext.xml" as the reference, not "src/main/resources/applicationContext.xml".
If that doesn't work, archive your project, post it somewhere we can download it so we can take a look at it.

context file

Websphere can be setup with different profiles, and in each profile different libraries and APIs are available.
In this case it seems Websphere 8 is setup with a profile where the necessary APIs to make load time weaving work are not available. Have a look at this similar issue (altough for a different version of WAS).

Any ideas? I tried referencing the axis jars from my portlet project, but that didn't work.

I think that your client jar interferes with standard websphere libraries. It leads to a situation where two different versions of the same class exist on the server classloader hierarchy. Your application classs loader probably picks the wrong version.
I would suggest to remove the jar from shared/app and configure a shared library instead. Then you associate the shared library with your application. You can find more details in was infocenter.
