Spring framework configuration

Question

It has been 3 days since I started learning about Spring Framework and trying to implement a RESTful web service with MongoDB and Spring Framework. I am still at the beginning and trying to understand the configuration of Spring Framework. When I start my project and hit the desired URL it is not working. I have also upload my project to github (here is the url)

web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         id="WebApp_ID"
         version="2.4"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
                             http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>
</web-app>

    <context:component-scan base-package="shoponway.webservice" />

    <import resource="mongo-config.xml" />
</beans>

spring-servlet.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" 
       xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"

       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
                           http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">
    <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/" p:suffix=".jsp" />
</beans>

and my controller

@Controller
public class PersonController {
    protected Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(PersonController.class);

    @Resource(name = "personService")
    private PersonService personService;

    @RequestMapping(value = "/allpersons", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String getAllPersons(Model model){
        model.addAttribute("persons", personService.getAllPersons());
        return "personspage";
    }
}

The error I am getting

Answer 1

There are multiple problems in this example, which can be corrected as follows

1. add @Service anotation to your shoponway.webservice.services.PersonService class, you need to add @Service for making it a proper candidate for injection.

2. Your 'mongo-config.xml' is pointing to wrong mongo repository locations edit it to <mongo:repositories base-package="shoponway.webservice.services" /> from
   <mongo:repositories base-package="org.krams.tutorial.repositories" />

3. Mongo template should refer to following bean <bean id="mongoTemplate" class="org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate"> not with class="org.springframework.data.document.mongodb.MongoTemplate"

4) replace mongo-config.xml content with

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mongo="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
     http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo/spring-mongo-1.0.xsd
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">

<mongo:mongo host="localhost" port="27017" />
<mongo:db-factory dbname="shoponwaydb" />

<bean id="mongoTemplate" class="org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate">
    <constructor-arg name="mongoDbFactory" ref="mongoDbFactory" />
</bean>

 </beans>

`

Once your correct these , you will be able to run your example easily:
