ContextLoader - Context initialization failed

Question

Unable to Start the deployed war file. I got the following error at the terminal

[ERROR] 17:23:17 ContextLoader - Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in resource loaded from byte array: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'blPersistenceUnitManager' while setting bean property 'persistenceUnitManager'; 
nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'blPersistenceUnitManager': Injection of resource dependencies failed; 
nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'blMergedDataSources' defined in resource loaded from byte array: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'webDS' while setting bean property 'sourceMap' with key [TypedStringValue: value [jdbc/web], target type [null]];     

The eventual following stack trace is caused by an error thrown for debugging purposes as well as to attempt to terminate the thread which caused the illegal access, and has no functional impact.

Thank you for your valuable advice. I have edited the post with server.xml and context.xml.

I am following broadleafcommerce's tutorial [http://www.broadleafcommerce.com/docs/core/current/getting-started].

In order to configure Switching to MySql I have made changes as in this link [http://www.broadleafcommerce.com/docs/core/current/tutorials/getting-started-tutorials/switch-to-mysql-tutorial]

Even though I have added hibernate-3.2.7.ga.jar file to the lib directory, I get this exception -ClassLoadingException:Unable to load class [org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect] .

[ERROR] 11:09:39 ContextLoader - Context initialization failed

But the jar file do have the class.

And also I have not mentioned anything about the hibernate dependencies in the pom.xml file.

I don't find the file named applicationContext-servlet-cms-contentClient.xml in the project.

I wish you'd posted your xml for your spring configuration so I could see if there were any more issues but at the very least you'll need to define all your jndi names in tomcat - in server.xml as a <resource /> in <globalnames /> and context.xml as <resourcelink /> in the <context /> tag. Server.xml will look something like this (you will need to select proper setting for the type of db your using):

<GlobalNamingResources>
    <Resource auth="Container" 
    driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" 
    initialSize="5" 
    maxActive="120" 
    maxIdle="5" 
    maxWait="5000" 
    name="jdbc/web" 
    username="user" 
    password="password" 
    poolPreparedStatements="true" 
    type="javax.sql.DataSource" 
    url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname" 
    validationQuery="select 1"/>
</GlobalNamingResources>

Although don't delete resources already defined. And this in context.xml:

<context>    
   <ResourceLink global="jdbc/web" name="jdbc/web" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
</context>

I don't want to get dunned for including a link but if you search "tomcat jndi datasource how to" I think you'll find at least one thorough example of what's needed. You'll also need to include the jar containing your driver (com.mysql.jdbc.Driver in this example) in tomcat/lib.

Answer 2

Finally I got answer to my question. Adding hibernate dependencies to my pom.xml did the trick. Also don't forget to add hibernate jar(hibernate-3.2.7.ga.jar) file to lib directory.

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.7.ga</version>
    <type>jar</type>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

I think adding the above code resolved the ClassLoadingException:Unable to load class [org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect] which was mentioned in my post.

Answers from Bill fixed JNDI naming error.
