DispatcherServlet - Context initialization failed in Roo project

I develop a Roo project and deploy to a Tomcat 6 server. Up until now everything was working fine.

I deleted and re-added an entity.

Now everytime when I start Tomcat I get this exception in the Spring Tool Suite:

SEVERE: StandardWrapper.Throwable
Throwable occurred: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping#0': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.MappedInterceptor#0': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)' of type [org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.ConversionServiceExposingInterceptor] while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'applicationConversionService' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class [myproject.web.ApplicationConversionServiceFactoryBean] for bean with name 'applicationConversionService' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/webmvc-config.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: myproject.web.ApplicationConversionServiceFactoryBean

What do I need to do to make it work again?

Solution

  • spring is complainig about a bean not being available (probably the one you say you deleted).

     exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: myproject.web.ApplicationConversionServiceFactoryBean

    try to search the config xml files & remove the reference made to this class, things should be back after that,
