Error Nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException WebFlow

Question

I have a error like this working with webflow 2.3.0.RELEASE and richfaces 4.0.0.Final in jboss 7.0.1.FINAL:

12:16:46,989 INFO [stdout] (MSC service thread 1-7) 2011-09-20 12:16:46,987 [MSC service thread 1-7] ERROR (FrameworkServlet.java:314) ï¿½ Context initialization failed 12:16:46,989 INFO [stdout] (MSC service thread 1-7) org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'flowExecutor': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)' of type [org.springframework.webflow.config.FlowExecutionListenerLoaderFactoryBean] while setting bean property 'flowExecutionListenerLoader'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)#1':Cannot resolve reference to bean 'jpaFlowExecutionListener' while setting bean property 'listeners'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'jpaFlowExecutionListener' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/transportes-webflow.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'entityManagerFactory' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'entityManagerFactory' is defined.

Well I suppose that the error is because I have the Hibernate configuracion in META-INF like this:

META-INF/spring/spring-master.xml
META-INF/spring/spring-hibernate.xml

META-INF/spring/spring-datasource.xml

META-INF/spring/jdbc.properties

and the webflow configuration in WEB-INF: WEB-INF/spring/transportes-webflow.xml

NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'entityManagerFactory' is defined

means that it is unable to locate a bean definition for entityManagerFactory. From your webflow config it is needed by jpaFlowExecutionListener:

<bean id="jpaFlowExecutionListener"
  class="org.springframework.webflow.persistence.HibernateFlowExecutionListener">
    <constructor-arg ref="entityManagerFactory"/>
    <constructor-arg ref="transactionManager"/>
</bean>

In case this bean is defined in:

META-INF/spring/spring-hibernate.xml

It should either be imported by a webflow config (WEB-INF/spring/transportes-webflow.xml)

<import resource="classpath:META-INF/spring/spring-hibernate.xml" />

Or make sure you have these two files in your Web config listener:

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>classpath:META-INF/spring/spring-hibernate.xml /WEB-INF/spring/transportes-webflow.xml ... </param-value>
</context-param>

<listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
