eclipse shiro classpath problem...

[kievari]

Hi,
I have a problem with setting Shiro up in Eclipse: I put the shiro.ini file in regular places and address it from web.xml just as usual way and I get to error.

As I'm trying toward a proof of concept, I do no change and make everything the way described in tutorials.

Probably I don't understand something from Eclipse and this is not a Shiro question.

In an article I followed:
This is Stuff: Apache Shiro Part 1 - Basics

It suggests:
Create Shiro.ini file and put it on classpath. Configure web.xml to call IniShiroFilter before each request:

<filter>
    <filter-name>ShiroFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.shiro.web.servlet.IniShiroFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>configPath</param-name>
        <param-value>classpath:Shiro.ini</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>
 
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>ShiroFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

so as you see, configPath states that Shiro.ini is in classpath, but when I put the Shiro.ini in the src folder of my project under Eclipse, the error message says failed to find the stated resource. Also, when I move it to WEB-INF directory (another default place) it can't find it.

Could anybody please suggest something new to try or a solution?

As with all these cases I would recommend usnig the reall documentation, not someone elses interpretation of it.
Try here.
According to that this is what should be in your web.xml:

<listener>
    <listener-class>org.apache.shiro.web.env.EnvironmentLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

...

<filter>
    <filter-name>ShiroFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.shiro.web.servlet.ShiroFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>ShiroFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

And the ini should really be in your WEB-INF.
Try it that way and get that to work before attempting custom locations.

Thank you very much! I did it as you said and it solved!

I actually ready everything, including documentation (fully), but I read that tutorial last and eyes didn't want to "see" :D

Tutorial Blindness...:D
