Hi,

i have downloaded and deployed the hook within the project from Ray Augés example from Custom Velocity Tools and Liferay 6.0 on tomcat-liferay-bundle 6.1.

Unforunately i' getting an exception:

116:54:28,875 ERROR [UtilLocator:56] com.liferay.portal.kernel.bean.BeanLocatorException: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'com.mytool.MyTool' is defined

9       at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getMergedLocalBeanDefinition(AbstractBeanFactory.java

Can you give me some hints whats going wrong here?

I've configured Debug-Loglevel for BeanLocatorImpl, but no interesting information here!?

what i've done is this:

created interface and impl
declaration for corresponding bean in WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
configured PortletContextLoaderListener in web.xml

Is here missing something?
Can you give me a hint where to start debugging?

Thanks in advance

First I'd suggest downloading and using the test-velotool-hook provided by Ray as-is, just to determine if his is working in your environment.

Second, did you see his note at the end on using the contextPathName of your hook? If you're not using the right contextPathName, the bean locator lookup could be failing due to that reason...

Yes, I've taken the test-velotool-hook "as-is".

I've seen the note with the contextPathName, too. The example uses 'test-velotool-hook' as contextPathName. I think thats ok, because there is a directory with the same name beneath LIFERAY_HOME/tomcat-7.0.23/webapps/.

I have the same problem. I configured the applicationContext.xml and web.xml, but seems the BeanLocator can't locate the defined bean.

Anyone has found the soolution??....

I tried to deploy the hook you attached but doesn't work when defined spring beans. Same error org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'XXXXXXX' is defined.

It seems on this liferay version you must load the spring bean in some other way. I developed a script for liferay 6.0.6 and runs perfect. I deployed in liferay 6.1 GA and doesn't work.

Anyone knows another way to load spring beans?...

The question is this done intentionally or is it bug.

Well, I'm trying to debug this through and find a reason why it is working differently.

So here a little progress:

With Liferay 6.0.6 and 6.1.0 both reason ends up at com.liferay.portal.bean.BeanLocatorImpl method doLocate(..) and at line "return _applicationContext.getBean(name);"

When I inspect that "_applicationContext"

at 6.0.6 I get with debug

1_applicationContext.getClassLoader()
2    (org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader) WebappClassLoader
3 context:
4 delegate: false
5 repositories:
6 /WEB-INF/classes/
7----------> Parent Classloader:
8org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader@6d3f7281
9
10_applicationContext.getDisplayName()
11    (java.lang.String) Root WebApplicationContext
12
13_applicationContext.getBeanDefinitionCount()
14    (int) 1

and 6.1.0 I get with debug

1_applicationContext.getClassLoader()
2    (org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader) WebappClassLoader
3 context:
4 delegate: false
5 repositories:
6 /WEB-INF/classes/
7----------> Parent Classloader:
8org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader@11a06e38
9
10_applicationContext.getDisplayName()
11    (java.lang.String) Root WebApplicationContext
12
13_applicationContext.getBeanDefinitionCount()
14    (int) 0

So it seems that bean is not getting registered to _applicationContext at 6.1.0, why is that? Where the bean registration to _applicationContext happen?

It is so good that Liferay is open source. So the problems can be solved just by studying the code.

Finally the problem was traced to

com.liferay.portal.spring.context.PortletApplicationContext class where was new method comparing to 6.0.6.

1 protected String[] getDefaultConfigLocations() {
2 return new String[0];
3 }

and from version control I could trace that change to issue LPS-21104

So the solution to fix it to add path to applicationContext.xml to web.xml with context-params

1 <context-param>
2 <param-name>portalContextConfigLocation</param-name>
3 <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
4 </context-param>
