I'm trying to upgrade an application from 1.0.1 to 1.0.3 SVN 6869. On run-app I got the following error: 2008-04-08 18:04:51.304::WARN: Failed startup of context org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext@b05409{/coboexchange,/home/stefano/SVN/coboexchange/web-app} org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManager': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'sessionFactory' while setting bean property 'sessionFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at RunApp_groovy$_run_closure2_closure7.doCall(RunApp_groovy:68) at RunApp_groovy$_run_closure2_closure7.doCall(RunApp_groovy) at Init_groovy$_run_closure6.doCall(Init_groovy:128) at RunApp_groovy$_run_closure2.doCall(RunApp_groovy:67) at RunApp_groovy$_run_closure2.doCall(RunApp_groovy) at RunApp_groovy$_run_closure1.doCall(RunApp_groovy:59) at RunApp_groovy$_run_closure1.doCall(RunApp_groovy) at gant.Gant.dispatch(Gant.groovy:271) at gant.Gant.this$2$dispatch(Gant.groovy) at gant.Gant.invokeMethod(Gant.groovy) at gant.Gant.processTargets(Gant.groovy:436) at gant.Gant.processArgs(Gant.groovy:372) Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) ... 13 more Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException ... 14 more 2008-04-08 18:04:51.306::WARN: Nested in org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManager': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'sessionFactory' while setting bean property 'sessionFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at RunApp_groovy$_run_closure2_closure7.doCall(RunApp_groovy:68) at RunApp_groovy$_run_closure2_closure7.doCall(RunApp_groovy) at Init_groovy$_run_closure6.doCall(Init_groovy:128) at RunApp_groovy$_run_closure2.doCall(RunApp_groovy:67) at RunApp_groovy$_run_closure2.doCall(RunApp_groovy) at RunApp_groovy$_run_closure1.doCall(RunApp_groovy:59) at RunApp_groovy$_run_closure1.doCall(RunApp_groovy) at gant.Gant.dispatch(Gant.groovy:271) at gant.Gant.this$2$dispatch(Gant.groovy) at gant.Gant.invokeMethod(Gant.groovy) at gant.Gant.processTargets(Gant.groovy:436) at gant.Gant.processArgs(Gant.groovy:372) 2008-04-08 18:04:51.317::INFO: Started SelectChannelConnector@0.0.0.0:8080 Server running.
