I have been working on a Hibernate / Spring Data Access Component for a multi-module project.
The testing has all been done with JUnit and DBUnit tests, then run inside an embedded Jetty web container.
The details of this blog focus on the issue with deploying this WAR to Weblogic 10.3 after completing extensive unit and Selenium testing in Jetty. Honestly, I was very puzzled at this as I felt there was so much testing, and code coverage above 80% would ensure a smooth transition from a local development workstation, to the QA Weblogic / Linux machine.
Not the case.
Deployment Failure
Everything worked fin on a local workstation running Windows XP, JDK 1.6 and Jetty.
Now, when building for QA, I performed a re-build with a QA profile in Maven to filter out some environment specific configuration. The build works fine, but when I go to deploy the application running:
weblogic:deploy -e
I would get the following error:
<strong>java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: registerAutoProxyCreatorIfNecessary</strong>

Strangely enough, if I take the packaged WAR and manually deploy this to Weblogic 10.3 through the web admin console, the application deploys fine. So the issue is with the weblogic:deploy plugin.
Then after extensive digging and hacking, I finally stumbled across the issue. Here are the dependencies I was using in my data-services.jar:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-dao</artifactId>
<version>2.0.8</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<strong> </strong><dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency><strong>
</strong>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
...[other dependencies omitted for clarity]
</dependencies>The issue was actually that I was missing
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<strong><artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId></strong>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>Even though I was already including spring-aspects, this jar was required in order to deploy using the weblogic:deploy plugin for 10.3
As soon as I added that dependency, the deploy was successful.
