My setup is fairly simple: I have a
web front-end, back-end is spring-wired.
I am using AOP to add a layer of security on my rpc
services.
It's all good, except for the fact that the
web app aborts on launch:
[java] SEVERE: Context initialization failed
[java] org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop]
[java] Offending resource: ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/gwthandler-servlet.xml]
Here is the snippet from my xml config file:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop.xsd">
<aop:config>
<aop:aspect id="security" ref="securityAspect" >
<aop:pointcut id="securedServices" expression="@annotation(com.fb.boog.common.aspects.Secured)"/>
<aop:before method="checkSecurity" pointcut-ref="securedServices"/>
</aop:aspect>
</aop:config>
I read over the internets that it may be my classloading the core of the problem. Doubtful, since here is my WEB-INF/lib directory:
