Hello All,

I had a few query regarding spring in WLS.

1> I'm trying to expose some spring beans as MBeans to the admin console but I don't quite succeed.

I've followed the steps from the http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs103/pdf/programming.pdf (Spring applications reference part) so I can see the all the beans in the spring framework tab of the admin console but all of them are just read only. I would like to be able to get and set values to (some of) them, so I would like to export them as MBeans. According to the documentation: "To access spring beans that are not MBeans through the WebLogic Administration Console, you must configure an MBeanExporter in the applicationContext.xml file and specify which beans to expose via the assembler. Make sure that the applicationName property is the deployed name of your application."

I've tried to use the exporter but somehow it does not work. Unfortunately the old pitchfork files and example apps are no more available at commerce.bea.com and on the otn I couldn't find them. Is there any version of them or another working example for WL 10.3?

2> http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs103/pdf/programming.pdf says : “To demonstrate the ways in which Spring can take advantage of WebLogic Server’s enterprise features, Oracle redesigned the Avitek Medical Records sample application (MedRec) to replace core J2EE components with Spring components” But I don’t see the \samples\domains\medrec contains anything spring.

Moreover all the links in http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/dev2arch/2008/07/spring.html leads to our old http://commerce.bea.com/showproduct.jsp?family=SPRING&major=2.0.2&minor=0 for “Downloading the Spring on WebLogic Kit”.
