Question

I have an external jar file which is added as a dependency to another Web application.When i run this Jar file stand alone it works fine.

When i include this in my web application i get the following error

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'inviteAuditService': Injection of resource dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No matching bean of type [com.trunym.certificateserver.datajpa.repository.InviteAuditRepository] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

Here is my application context from the Web application :

<import resource="classpath*:certificate-server-context.xml" />

    <task:annotation-driven />

Answer 1

i managed to resolve the issue,The issue was that i had conflicting package names in my web app and the external jar.

And the context component scan was giving the problem.
