This question my ultimately be better asked in the Spring forums, but I thought I would try here first.
I am in the process of moving 2 applications to Geronimo 1.1. I have split the applications into a CAR module that holds the DAO and object model classes along with the WAR file. The problem I am seeing is that 1 of the applications extends Spring's JdbcDaoSupport class and performs initialization by overriding the initDao() method. Oddly the initDao() method never gets called when my classes are separated into a CAR module but if I leave the DAO and object model classes in the WAR along with all the dependencies, it gets called fine. Other properties of the classes are set OK, when operating as a CAR, it is just the initDao() method that fails to be called. If I force a call to initDao() from one of the setters of a property, than the problem disappears, but this should not be required. Background: I have Spring 1.2.8 in the common-libs. Both the CAR module and WAR file register a dependency on Spring. I do not have Spring in the filtered classes for 1.1 as I was under the impression that it is no longer required and it works fine when used a monolithic install with everything (including Spring) packaged in the WAR file. Has anyone ran into a similar problem? Dennis -- "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.
