Spring Social XML configuration

Question

My application uses Spring XML configuration. I must add Spring Social's functionality(i want to configure it also by XML) but i encounter an error:

nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.social.connect.signin.web.ProviderSignInController

I have tried configuring by XML in my application and also in the spring-social-showcase sample app but the same error... All the jars are in the right place... I took the configuration model from the Spring Social guide. Did anyone configured it by XML?

Answer 1

found the probelm... It seems that there are 2 ProviderSignInController classes in different packages. In the docs there is org.springframework.social.connect.signin.web.ProviderSignInController
and in the jar there is org.springframework.social.connect.web.ProviderSignInController

Answer 2

The ClassNotFoundException tells you that your don't have all the jars in the right place. You're probably missing spring-social-web-1.x.x.RELEASE.jar.
