How to run Spring 3.0 PetClinic in tomcat with Hibernate backed JPA
- by Zwei Steinen
OK, this probably is supposed to be the easiest thing in the world, but I've been trying for the entire day, and it's still not working.. Any help is highly appreciated!
What I did:
Downloaded Tomcat 6.0.26 & Spring 3.0.1
Downloaded PetClinic from https://src.springframework.org/svn/spring-samples/petclinic
Built & deployed petclinic.war. Ran fine with default TopLink persistence.
Edited webapps/WEB-INF/spring/applicationContext-jpa.xml and changed jpaVendorAdaptor from TopLink to Hibernate.
Edited webapps/WEB-INF/web.xml and changed context-param from applicationContext-jdbc.xml to applicationContext-jpa.xml
Copied everything in the Spring 3.0.1 distribution to TOMCAT_HOME/lib.
Launched tomcat. Saw
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: ClassLoader [org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader] does NOT provide an 'addTransformer(ClassFileTransformer)' method. Specify a custom LoadTimeWeaver or start your Java virtual machine with Spring's agent: -javaagent:spring-agent.jar
Uncommented line <Loader loaderClass="org.springframework.instrument.classloading.tomcat.TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader"/> in webapps/META-INF/context.xml.
Same error. Added that line to TOMCAT_HOME/context.xml
Deployed without error. However, when I do something it will issue an error saying
