Running Spring Hibernate Project in Tomcat as Standalone and Embedded Tomcat in STS IDE

I have an issue when i run my application as a standalone web application using Tomcat.
I use spring , struts 2 and hibernate .
The weird part is when i run the application from the embedded tomcat in my STS IDE it is running fine.
In both scenarios the web application runs fine but certain hibernate models are not getting initialized causing certain screens to fail when the application is run in the stand alone mode.
Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.
Below is the exact error:
Error in Pre-loading models or ppa_ids
org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateQueryException: RealTimeModel is not mapped [select distinct forecast_model from RealTimeModel]; nested exception is org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxException: RealTimeModel is not mapped [select distinct forecast_model from RealTimeModel]

Found the answer , the hbm.xml files were in the main/java folder. but they ought to be in the main/resources folder.

As you can see I am using <prop key="hibernate.implicit_naming_strategy">org.hibernate.boot.model.naming.ImplicitNamingStrategyComponentPathImpl</prop> in the configuration . I thought this way you can have the embeddable object more than once in a class.
If i give a random string for the naming strategy its failing saying the class is not found. So I assume the configuration is read. Is there something I am missing here ? Any help is appreciated.

Getting java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch error on using "RedirectAttributes" in spring MVC

I am getting below error whenever I am using RedirectAttributes in my controller method if I am adding any other thing like ModelMap or Model then it is not giving any error. Why?
I checked on the net for the solution but I did not find anything.

What is the Spring version you are using? RedirectAttributes has been added since Spring 3.1 release. Please check example at http://viralpatel.net/blogs/spring-mvc-flash-attribute-example/

Using multiple DataSources in Spring and Hibernate

I am having a main datasource, where I have read/write access and another datasource, where I just pull the data out and import it into my main datasource.
At the moment my whole application just uses the read/write database. Therefore, I configured it like that:

My DAO Call:

public class SettingsDaoImpl {
#Autowired
#PersistenceContext
public EntityManager em;
public SettingsDaoImpl() {
super();
}
#Transactional
public Long save(Settings sr)
{
em.persist(sr);
return sr.getId();
}
As you can see I added the second database in my application. However, I do not know how to properly call it inside my SettingsDaoImpl?
Any recommendations how to implement this in my current architecture.

You need to create different entity manager for each datasource and in the code you need to define unitName property of #PersistenceContext to inject particular entity manager.

set content type for xml response in spring

I have this method that returns an object which is then serialized.
I'd like to set the content type of the response (e.g. as application/xml).
How can I do this?
I have found other posts but they are not very clear about how to do this for xml type
#RequestMapping(value = "/Disco/GetAreasAtLevel", method = RequestMethod.GET)
#ResponseBody
public GetAreasAtLevelResponseElement getAreasAtLevel(#RequestParam("AreaId") String areaId) {
GetAreasAtLevelResponseElement root = new GetAreasAtLevelResponseElement();
root.setArea("TEST");
return root;
}

A simple option is to set the produces attribute of the #RequestMapping annotation to MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_VALUE (or "application/xml"), e.g.
#RequestMapping(produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_VALUE,
value = "/Disco/GetAreasAtLevel",
method = RequestMethod.GET)
#ResponseBody
public GetAreasAtLevelResponseElement getAreasAtLevel(
// ...
}
