I'm using spring.net 1.3.1 in a asp.net 3.5 project in vs 2010. I'm not doing any kind of mvc stuff; I needed Spring to create and manipulate objects.
I've followed the documentation, added Spring.Core and Spring.Web dlls reference my web.config is like this:
<sectionGroup name="spring">
<section name="context" type="Spring.Context.Support.WebContextHandler, Spring.Web"/>
<section name="objects" type="Spring.Context.Support.DefaultSectionHandler, Spring.Core"/>
</sectionGroup>
<system.web>
<httpModules>
<add name="Spring" type="Spring.Context.Support.WebSupportModule, Spring.Web"/>
</httpModules>
<!-- no spring confi in httpHandlers-->
</system.web>
<spring>
<context>
<resource uri="~/config/clients.xml" />
</context>
</spring>
in clients.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<objects xmlns="http://www.springframework.net">
<object id="CAL" type="myrouter.clientcode.CAL, myrouter.clientcode"/>
</objects>
in Defaults.aspx.cs
IApplicationContext ctx = ContextRegistry.GetContext();
CAL calobject = (CAL)ctx.GetObject("CAL");
i'm getting

Sorry for this long post; I wanted to be as precised as possible and give as much as information that I could. I think I'm missing something but just can't figure out what. Is the HttpHandler a must in spring.net configuration in asp.net?
Usually this issue is the result of some error in your
<object id="CAL" type="myrouter.clientcode.CAL, myrouter.clientcode"/>
configuration.
Check/verify the following:
