Hello,

Most probrably one of the web.xml is the issue. The following snippet is from the storefront extension. If the contextConfigLocation it is missing then spring default mechanism it's used.

<servlet>
 <description>
  DispatcherServlet
  Spring MVC dispatcher servlet. This is the entry point for the Spring MVC application.
 </description>
 <servlet-name>DispatcherServlet</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
 <init-param>
  <description>
   Specifies the location for Spring MVC to load an additional XML configuration file.
   Because hybris is already configured with the XML spring configuration files to load
   we must set this param value to EMPTY in order to prevent loading of the default
   /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml file.
  </description>
  <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
  <param-value></param-value>
 </init-param>
 <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

[former_member739751]

In our case one extension had a tag "webmodule" in extensioninfo.xml what caused this issue. The extension is not supposed to be a webmodule, so we simply removed this tag and it was working again.

Perhaps this can help others as well.

[former_member384558]

That's right, if you want to disable / remove the web access possibility of the extension. This works for me. Thanks for the hint!

[former_member708417]

web.xml looks ok.

[former_member708417]

Hi Parinay,

can you verify what is the param-value for contextConfigLocation param name in web.xml file under storefront extension?

we need to pass the empty value for contextConfigLocation param like below for servlets tag.

   <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
   <param-value></param-value>

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We migrated our code from 5.7 to 6.2 and ran into same problem. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Parinay

[Former Member]

Hi, please check if you haven't removed any web.xml file from your extensions during migration e.g. from *storefront extension. Hybris by default is not using files with name applicationContext.xml and looking for such files seems to be triggered by Spring's fallback mechanism.

[former_member1174331]

Hi,

we ran into the same error as well. We did not change anything regarding configuration of our extensions and kept all of our web.xml. Any hint would be helpful.

Regards
