ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.aop.framework.AopConfigException

Question

We have an application which we're trying to get to run on WebLogic 12.2.1.3.0 but even though we have the correct spring-aop-3.0.2.RELEASE.jar in the application's web-inf\lib directory we still get a

weblogic.application.ModuleException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.aop.framework.AopConfigException

I have tried adding <prefer-application-packages> for packagename org.springframework.* to the weblogic.xml and weblogic-application.xml and also setting <prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes> but I cant' seem to get around this.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You should add

<package-name>net.sf.cglib.*</package-name>

to <prefer-application-packages> in your weblogic-application.xml to enable WebLogic to load cglib from your application classpath.
