James, I'm going against some problems with tapernate, i was hoping you could enlighten me and any other user that comes across the same problem. I'm still unable to get an application started. For the record, i tried the tapernate-example.war and it worked fine.
First problem i had, maven dependency trouble. It seems that when i build tapernate-example i get 39 jar files in my WEB-INF/lib directory, still, in the war file there's only 32 jar files. This wouldn't be much of a problem if didn't get an exception when i start my app because of a " pull-parser-2.jar" file. I found out the if i remove it from the classpath this exception goes away. The exception is: org.apache.tapestry.util.xml.DocumentParseException: Unable to read context:/WEB-INF/igif.application: validation is not supported location: context:/WEB-INF/igif.application javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException: validation is not supported org.gjt.xpp.jaxp11.SAXParserFactoryImpl.newSAXParser( SAXParserFactoryImpl.java:100) So, after i remove this unwanted jar i get a new exception: org.apache.hivemind.ApplicationRuntimeException: Unable to convert type ' org.apache.tapestry.enhance.HiveMindAutowireWorkerFactory' to a Java class, either as is, or in package com.igif. org.apache.hivemind.impl.ModuleImpl.findTypeInClassResolver(ModuleImpl.java :219) org.apache.hivemind.impl.ModuleImpl.resolveType(ModuleImpl.java:203) This one i have no clues on how to solve. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance, Hugo
