Hi, I am using jboss JBoss 4.2.2GA release, and want to deploy some common spring beans and make them available to all other web services or EJBs within same jboss environment. It seems that jboss spring deployer is a good choice. I downloaded deployer version 2, then created some simple test. The MySrpingBean.spring can be deployed on jboss properly proved by the following lines in jboss log: Bean factory [MySpringBean] binded to local JNDI And I also saw the following information from jboss jmx-console JNDI view: MySpringBean org.jboss.spring.factory.NamedXmlApplicationContext Basically, all above indicated my spring has been deployed and registered into local JDNI. However, when I created a simple web application to retrieve it. I got the following exception: org.springframework.beans.factory.access.BootstrapException: Unable to return specified BeanFactory instance: factory key [mainApplicationContext], from group with resource name [classpath*:beanRefContext.xml]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'mainApplicationContext' is defined at
