Spring.Web with Mono and Fedora 5

[Ted Husted]

I'd be interested in getting Spring.Web running under Fedora 5.

My first quick attempt ended with

----

Server error in '/' application
Failed to load httpHandler type `Spring.Web.Support.PageHandlerFactory, Spring.Web'
Description: Error processing request.

Error Message: HTTP 500. Failed to load httpHandler type `Spring.Web.Support.PageHandlerFactory, Spring.Web'

-----

Though, I was impressed by how little effort it took me to at least expose an error message :)

So far, all I did was:

0) Start with our basic Fedora 5 server
1) Download and unzip the mono.zip and webserver.zip RPM distributions (1.1.13.6) from http://www.mono-project.com/Downloads
2) Install it all in one fell swoop with rpm -iVh *.rpm
3) Follow the notes at http://www.mono-project.com/Xsp to get the simple server running
4) Checked out my working Web application from Subversion (as we do for IIS) under the "test" folder used by #3
5) Tried to open the application at http://zippy:8080/wqd/ (then reupped the server and tried again)

We use the Fedora 5 server to run JIRA and Confluence under Tomcat, and to host Subversion. It would be great to also use it as a test-site for the ASP.NET apps.

Hi Ted,

Good to hear from you again. I've pinged Aleks on this one, he will take a look tomorrow, but I think it will take a bit of work to get Spring.Web working with mono because there are a some hacks that use reflection to access private/protected methods/member variables that are specific to the MS ASP.NET implementation. One tidbit I can point you to regarding Spring.NET and mono is this post - http://forum.springframework.net/showthread.php?t=490 regarding registration of the validation parser.

Cheers,
Mark

[Ted Husted]

Yes, I saw that. Of course, right now, I don't think I'm even up to the part where anything gets parsed :)

I wonder if there should be a mono forum, or page on the wiki, since they threads are already getting spread all over the place.

-Ted.

Hi,

I've made a mono forum - it can only help in organizing the efforts for mono. Thanks for the suggestion.

Cheers,
Mark

I have the same problem running the examples using Mono 1.2.6 and xsp2 on Win x64. Any ideas?

Hi,

Claiming nothing more than google skills, you might try to put the spring .dlls inside the bin directory (as compared to bin/debug)
