BeanCreationException when deploying Spring Beans during Tomcat 5 startup

[rade]

Hi,

I tried to start my web application, that uses the advantages of the Spring framework, on standalone Tomcat 5 with JBoss 4.0.3 ejb-container.

The following issue happens during the Spring bean creation:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'AService' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-remoteservices.xml]: Can't resolve reference to bean 'ARemoteEJB' while setting property 'ARemoteEJB'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'ARemoteEJB' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-remoteservices.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is javax.naming.CommunicationException: null

at org.springframework.jndi.JndiLocatorSupport.lookup (JndiLocatorSupport.java:71)

My JBoss 4.0.3 application server is running fine. Why is Spring telling me that
the org.jboss.invocation.InvokerInterceptor class is invalid?

Has anyone an answer to that issue?

Best regards,

Rade
