Tapestry5 : No service implements the interface org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext

I'm using the Tapestry5 tapx template library to send an html email, as per this example.

When I run the example I get the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: No service implements the interface org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext.
        at org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.internal.RegistryImpl.getService(RegistryIm开发者_JAVA百科pl.java:560)
        at org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.internal.ObjectLocatorImpl.getService(ObjectLocatorImpl.java:44)

All the tapestry-* jars, including tapestry-spring-5.1.05.jar are in my classpath.

Any clues as to what I'm missing?

Figured it out. SpringIOC loads all modules it find on the classpath. The SpringModule, in tapestry-spring.jar, attempts to initialise the ApplicactionContext service, which causes the problem.

Removing tapestry-spring.jar from the classpath fixes the problem.

Follow the directions on the web site carefully; my guess is that you are not using the special TapestrySpringFilter (instead of the normal TapestryFilter).

It's been a while since I looked at this code; I can't remember if the ApplicationContext is exposed as a service or injectable object. Seems like it should be.

Fair enough; not sure what you situation is, but you should look in more detail at what TapestrySpringFilter does in terms of set up and replicate it into your standalone app's startup. There's some special bootstrapping magic that you will want to leverage.
