title: Is it possible to run Mule 2.2.1 on spring 3?
body: <p>We have an application that is currently running spring 2.5.6 and mule 2.2.1. We have decided to go ahead and upgrade the app to use spring 3.2 we also upgraded spring security to 3.1. I understand that Mule 2.2.1 uses spring 2.5.6 for configuration and so forth. We were to re-factor our code and build the entire project. However after deploying the application and starting the server, my server started in about 6 seconds instead of the normal 30 seconds and then I noticed that none of my services were not loaded. Unfortunately after days of investigating I cannot find where everything fails, as there are no errors in any of the logs including spring and mule logs. My question is it possible to get these to play together or should I just forget about getting this to work. </p>
  
  <p>I read this post <a href="http://lifeinide.blogspot.com/2012/07/spring-3-and-mule-2-initialized-by.html" rel="nofollow">http://lifeinide.blogspot.com/2012/07/spring-3-and-mule-2-initialized-by.html</a> and followed these instruction and still was not able to get it work. Mule says it started up just fine without any errors but I can hit any of my services. Any help? Thanks</p>
