Question

I am getting Autowiring error although I have checked online post and nothing seems to point out what the problem could be. I have successfully autowired two other DAOs but I can't seems to autwire 3rd DAO. I have even tried to copy the successfully auto wired DAO and changed the names and that did not seems to work either.

I have removed some of import packages for clarity for the below classes.

Database Object Class

package snapFires.restaurant;

@Entity
@Table(name="testTable")
public class TestTable {

    private Integer testId;

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    @Column(name="testId")
    public Integer getId() {
        return testId;
    }
    public void setId(Integer testId) {
        this.testId = testId;
    }
}

DAO Interface

 package snapFires.restaurant;

import java.util.List;

public interface TestDAO {

}

DAO Interface Implemented

package snapFires.restaurant;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate;

import snapFires.restaurant.Restaurant;

public class TestDAOImpl implements TestDAO {

    private HibernateTemplate hibernateTemplate;

    @Autowired 
    private SessionFactory mySessionFactory;

    public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
        this.hibernateTemplate = new HibernateTemplate(sessionFactory);
    }

    public SessionFactory getMySessionFactory() {
        return mySessionFactory;
    }

    public void setMySessionFactory(SessionFactory mySessionFactory) {
        this.mySessionFactory = mySessionFactory;
    }       

}

Controller

package snapFires.annotation.controller;

import snapFires.restaurant.TestDAO;

@Controller
public class RestaurantController extends MultiActionController {

    @Autowired
    private TestDAO testDAO;

}

dispatcher-servlet.xml pertinent content

<context:component-scan base-package="snapFires.annotation.controller" />

Solution

Your DAO is not part of the context. As the root cause explains, there's no bean matching bean defined. Since you're using annotations your should do the following:

Annotate your DAO implementation with @Repository
Scan inside the snapFires.restaurant package as well.

<context:component-scan base-package="snapFires.annotation.controller, snapFires.restaurant" />

OTHER TIPS

add @ImportResource("classpath:applicationContext.xml")

this on top of the SpringapiappApplication class as follows.

@ImportResource("classpath:applicationContext.xml") public class SpringapiappApplication {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(SpringapiappApplication.class, args);
