Re: Converting iBATIS DAO to Spring DAO in non-web application

[Richard Yee]

You don't need to create a web\WEB-INF folder to use Spring. Look at 
using a GenericApplicationContext and a XmlBeanDefinitionReader. Look at 
the BeanFactory interface in the Spring documentation

Hi,

I want to convert my iBATIS DAO to Spring DAO. My Java project is not 
web project. But its application running using class that has main() 
method. So in order to use Spring DAO, I had to specially create 
web\WEB-INF folder and add web.xml file, spring.xml file to it.

_web.xml has below content:_

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web 
Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";>
<web-app>
    <description>web.xml file for OTM Web Application</description>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/spring.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>
   
    <listener>
        
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class> 

    </listener>
   
    <listener>
        
<listener-class>org.nexweb.otm.spring.listeners.SpringInit</listener-class> 

    </listener>
</web-app>

_spring.xml has below content:_

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN"
        "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd";>
<beans>
    <bean id="propertyConfigurer" 
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"> 

        <property name="location" value="classpath:jdbc.properties"/>
    </bean>
    <bean id="dataSource" 
class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
       <property name="driverClassName" value="${jdbc.driverClassName}"/>

    </bean>
    <bean id="sqlMapClient"
          class="org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapClientFactoryBean">
        <property name="configLocation">

        </property>
        <property name="useTransactionAwareDataSource">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
        <property name="dataSource">
            <ref bean="dataSource"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
    <bean id="sqlMapClientTemplate"
          class="org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapClientTemplate">
        <property name="sqlMapClient">
            <ref bean="sqlMapClient"/>
        </property>
    </bean>  
   
    <bean id="glogDao" 
class="org.nexweb.otm.ibatis.dao.sqlmaps.GLogXMLSqlMapDAO">
        <property name="sqlMapClient">
            <ref bean="sqlMapClient"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
   
    <bean id="xmlService" 
class="org.nexweb.otm.ibatis.services.XmlService">
        <constructor-arg index="0" ref="glogDao"/>
    </bean>
</beans>


I also added SpringInit.java file as shown in 
 http://opensource.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/display/IBATIS/Converting+iBATIS+DAO+to+Spring+DAO. 


*Now, when I invoke SpringInit.getApplicationContext() method, its 
returning me 'null'. The application is not calling 
 contextInitialized() when I run it thru the main() method call.*

*What should I do to set WebApplicationContext springContext ?*

Thanks
