Going through Maven xml files in the link you provided to check for spring jar dependencies, I noticed a dependency on spring-web.jar, I was wondering where does it fit. I know that:
spring-beans.jar, spring-core.jar, spring-context.jar are required for DI. spring-aop.jar is used for Aspect oriented part. cglib-nodep-2.1_3.jar is used by AOP for creating proxies. As for the web part, we all are using struts 2 and not sure spring-web.jar fits. I am trying to create a blank template with minimum number of spring jars and I would appreciate any hints on that? --- On Sat, 4/18/09, Wes Wannemacher <w...@wantii.com> wrote: > From: Wes Wannemacher <w...@wantii.com> > Subject: Re: Struts 2 and Spring Framework > To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <user@struts.apache.org> > Received: Saturday, April 18, 2009, 6:03 AM > > > adi...@gmail.com > wrote: > > >> Hi All, > > >> > > >> Does anybody has an sample application using > Struts 2 and Spring > > >> Framework? > > >> > > >> When I put the > "struts2-spring-plugin-2.1.6.jar" file in my classpath > > >> I've got this error: > > >> > > >> java.lang.NullPointerException > > >> at > org.apache.log4j.Category.isEnabledFor(Category.java:749) > > >> at > > >> > org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger.isTraceEnabled(Log4JLogger.j > > >>ava:327) > > >> > > >> If you have a list of jars required, please > let put them here! > > I have a few projects up here - > > http://code.google.com/p/struts2inpractice/source/browse/#svn/trunk > > I have to check and see if they need updated, but they > could probably help to > serve as starter-apps.
