LSDS AopInvocationException on startup

mrl984

Hi
Running LSDS on WAS 8. Getting an exception at server startup and on any page request:

org.springframework.aop.AopInvocationException: AOP configuration seems to be invalid: tried calling method [public abstract java.sql.Connection javax.sql.DataSource.getConnection() throws java.sql.SQLException] on target [com.ibm.ws.rsadapter.jdbc.WSJdbcDataSource@e5a79799]; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an instance of declaring class

Seems to be the result of setting application class loader policy to PARENT_LAST. But this is required, per documentation, for LSCS client requests to work. Look familiar to anyone.

thanks,
mike

Looks like you're trying to use a websphere-administered datasource rather than using plain XML files (or your websphere.xml is incorrectly configured). A quick google search shows that attempting to cast WSJdbcDataSource to javax.sql.DataSource is a common problem, and there's been a slew of suggested solutions but no conclusive one that I could find. You'll have to play with your websphere.xml and your datasource configs in the console until you find a combination that works.
