Hi,

Assuming you're using the latest code from CVS, I think the problem is to do with the assumptions we've made for the package names used for all tools.  For example, your tool looks like it uses the following structure:

org.uach.lams.tool.socialToolForLAMS.service.SocialToolForLAMSService

If you look in lams_common/src/java/org/lamsfoundation/lams/beanRefContext.xml, inside the bean context.central is a list of contexts; among them is:

classpath*:org/lamsfoundation/lams/tool/**/*pplicationContext.xml

So basically the problem is that the LAMS core is only including those tools which have their context files under a package that starts with org.lamsfoundation.lams.tool.*

Can you try replacing that classpath line above with this?

classpath*:**/lams/tool/**/*pplicationContext.xml

If that doesn't work, try adding this line below it:

<value>classpath*:org/uach/lams/tool/**/*pplicationContext.xml</value>

I did both things, but no success.

I got this error:

Well it's a different error! In this case I think that's progress.

This error is saying that one the forum tool's beans can't start because there is a naming clash with one of the socialToolForLAMS beans. In your applicationContext.xml you might want to try renaming the 'timestampDao' to something more unique, e.g. 'socialToolForLAMSTimestampDao'.
