Spring's Java Based configuration not working for me - spring

Question

I am new to Spring programming and currently struggling with Spring 3.1's Java Based Configuraion" I have created following Configuration class
#Configuration
#ImportResource("classpath:/resources/jdbc.properties")
public class AppConfig {
#Autowired
Environment env;
private #Value("${jdbc.url}")
String url;
private #Value("${jdbc.username}")
String username;
private #Value("${jdbc.password}")
String password;
#Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
System.out.println("Creating data Source.");
return new DriverManagerDataSource(url, username, password);
}
#Bean
public SessionFactory sessionFactory () throws Exception {
return new AnnotationSessionFactoryBuilder().setDataSource(dataSource()).setPackagesToScan("com.argusoft.loginmodule.domain").buildSessionFactory();
}
}
now when I try to run the project I get following error.
OUTPUT
SEVERE: Exception while loading the app :
java.lang.IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start:
org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: javax.servlet.ServletException:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/springframework/core/env/EnvironmentCapable
stuck into it, Cant solve it..... I am following Spring Source Blog.
please also suggest some good tutorial in which Spring's latest Java based configuration is explained by easy to understand examples...
Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

From the perspective of the exception:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/core/env/EnvironmentCapable
This question is equals to the question: Spring class EnvironmentCapable
So the correct answer might be:
I think that need use version 3.1.0 - in package
org.springframework.core-3.1.0.M2.jar this class presents.

you can puth configuration like this
inside application context:
<bean id="propertyConfigurer"
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value>/WEB-INF/configuration.properties</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<import resource="db-config.xml" />
and
db-config.xml is:
<bean id="dataSource" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource"
destroy-method="close">
<property name="driverClass">
<value>${jdbc.driver.className}</value>
</property>
<property name="jdbcUrl">
<value>${jdbc.url}</value>
</property>
<property name="user">
<value>${jdbc.username}</value>
</property>
<property name="password">
<value>${jdbc.password}</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="sessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean" autowire="byName">
<property name="dataSource">
<ref bean="dataSource" />
</property>
<property name="packagesToScan" value="com.huawei.sa.album" />
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">${jdbc.hibernate.dialect}</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</prop>
<!-- uncomment this for first time run-->
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">false</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name="sessionFactory">
<ref bean="sessionFactory" />
</property>
</bean>
<tx:annotation-driven />
</beans>
