As the log says it can't load org/sakaiproject/lessonbuildertool/simplepageitem.hbm.xml
Check whether it exists and has correct structure.

I had this same problem when installing Sakai 2.9.3 on Linux (so it may not be the same problem after all). This message suggests that the cause is certain jar files being loaded by multiple class loaders. And indeed, I found that my Tomcat 7 tried to load a commons—dbcp—1.2.2.jar that comes with Sakai, but also /usr/share/tomcat7/lib/commons—dbcp.jar. I moved one of the two out of the way, but the error only went away (according to my installation log) after I switched from Java 1.6 to Java 7. You can configure which jar files will be loaded by which class loaders in Tomcat's conf/catalina.properties, but Sakai's documentation has a high voodoo factor for me at this point.

As mentioned pointcut expression in comment
<aop:config>
<aop:advisor pointcut="com.cando.example.service.SystemArchitecture.inWebLayer()" advice-ref="tx-advice" />
</aop:config>
is wrong. It should be
<aop:config>
<aop:advisor pointcut="execution(* com.cando.example.service.SystemArchitecture.inWebLayer(..))" advice-ref="tx-advice" />
</aop:config>
You did not specify the AspectJ pointcut designator, execution which is used for matching method execution join points. There are other AspectJ pointcut designators like within, this etc. Check Spring documentation for more as you are using Spring framework. For even more, check AspectJ.

Maven issue - dependency(class not found exception)

I'm starting on a new project, and it seems to have some problems related to Maven. When I try to start my web app, it gives errors related to bean factory creation, because cannot find a class referenced in other project. In such scenario, I need to stop the server, run the pom.xml for that other project, run pom.xml for my project and then restart the server. It seems strange to me, if they are related, shoudn't maven run that dependency automatically?
See the error message below:

Any help is very appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

I always like to put my answer when I get it so I can help someone that comes to the page looking for a solution... I looked more on the internet and finally found the solution on other stackoverflow post:
Maven dependencies are not always transitive. If taac-backend-gui
declares its dependency on com.wuntee.rsaAuthenticationManager with
scope="test" or optional="true", com.wuntee.rsaAuthenticationManager
won't automatically become a dependency of com.wuntee.taac Either of
these would be consistent with the symptoms you describe.
Cheers!

with following explanation:
This request caused a new process to be started for your application, and thus caused your application code to be loaded for the first time. This request may thus take longer and use more CPU than a typical request for your application.
A serious problem was encountered with the process that handled this request, causing it to exit. This is likely to cause a new process to be used for the next request to your application. If you see this message frequently, you may be throwing exceptions during the initialization of your application. (Error code 104)

As it says in the stacktrace:
HardDeadlineExceededError: This request (0000000000000000) started at 2011/11/17 04:12:01.160 UTC and was still executing at 2011/11/17 04:13:01.204 UTC.
Frontend requests to App Engine apps have 60 seconds to complete. If your request takes longer than that, it will be terminated. If you need to do a lot of work, you should do it on the Task Queue.

You need to optimize your application for quick setup. For example:
Uses a lightweight framework
Reduces classes scanning (discovery) at framework setup
Minimizes operations in ServletContextListener#contextInitialized
There is a long way for GAE application optimizations, good luck ;-)

Finally we sorted the issue by removing <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</prop> from the hibernate configuration,which was for automatically exporting schema DDL to the database when the SessionFactory is created.

Why can't my regular application context load my properties file?

I'm trying to use the PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer in my application. My applicationContext-test.xml loads my properties file just fine, but my applicationContext.xml throws an exception. In both cases, I'm loading my properties file like this:
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location">
<value>localdevelopment_Company.properties</value>
</property>
</bean>
When I run my tests, it does not complain, but when I start my server, I get this exception:
SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

I'm driving myself crazy trying to get this to work. Can someone help?

This comes down to where different application contexts look for their resources.
A unit test context looks at the classpath, but a webapp context looks inside the webapp. So when your webapp looks for localdevelopment_Company.properties, it's looking for a file at the root of the webapp.
If your file is actually on the classpath, then you need to override the webapp context's default search location:
<value>classpath:localdevelopment_Company.properties</value>
