I am trying to get the example code running according to the instructions in Appendix C
Everything goes well until I try to start my tomcat server

I am using tomcat 6.0.14 downloaded today.

I have started my pix db in under spring-framework-2.0.8, also downloaded today.

mvn package -D
First I was getting NoClassDefFound error on JeeNamespaceHandler
I fixed this by adding the following to pom.xml
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-remoting</artifactId>
      <version>${spring-version}</version>
    </dependency>
this added the spring-remoting.jar to my wrox-pix-web.war

I am still unable to start my tomcat server without the following error
ERROR ContextLoader - Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionSt oreException: Unexpected exception parsing XML document from class path resource [persistenceContext.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.factory.
support.BeanDefinitionBuilder.rootBeanDefinition(L java/lang/String;Ljava/lang/St
ring;)Lorg/springframework/beans/factory/support/BeanDefinitionBuilder;
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefi nitionBuilder.rootBeanDefinition(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/spring
framework/beans/factory/support/BeanDefinitionBuilder;

this one I can't seem to fix. I have tried adding
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
      <version>${spring-version}</version>
    </dependency>
which results in a different spring-beans.jar but it doesn't help.

Any ideas??? I'd be happy to send my pom.xml if that would help, the only other adjustment I have made is adding the xfire version and xfire plugin-repository section from the other post on this forum.

Thanks,
Anjie

FYI - Good news!!!

I was able to get Wrox Pix working by adding the following to my pom.xml:

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
      <version>${spring-version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
      <version>${spring-version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
      <version>${spring-version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-remoting</artifactId>
      <version>${spring-version}</version>
    </dependency>

And by changing spring-version to 2.0.8
<spring-version>2.0.8</spring-version>

some of the jars seem to be out-of-date if you use the pom.xml out of the box.
