Invalid property 'profileManager' of bean class. Bean property 'profileManager' is not writable or has an invalid setter method

Question

I've been going through my code and making sure that I didn't miss type anything but I still don't understand what I've done wrong. Below is my code for "ProfileHome" class and "profileManager"

package com.aperturepriorityautoweb.domain;

        List<Profile> profileList = null;
        Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
        session.beginTransaction();
        try {
            profileList = session
                    .createQuery(
                            "from Profile where user_Id = ? and statusCode <> '"
                                    + Profile.UPLOADED + "'")

    /**

            HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        // Get all profiles not paid for employee with id = 1
        List<Profile> profiles = profileManager.getProfiles(1);
        logger.debug("Showing profiles for user id = " + 1);
        return new ModelAndView(getSuccessView(), MAP_KEY, profiles);
    }

    public ProfileHome getProfileManager() {
        return profileManager;
    }

    public void setProfileManager(ProfileHome profileManager) {
        this.profileManager = profileManager;
    }

    public String getSuccessView() {
        return successView;
    }

    public void setSuccessView(String successView) {
        this.successView = successView;

}

Answer 1

sorry I kind of just disappeared for a few days. Sotirios And Mark pretty much pointed me in the right direction. Sotirios wrote:

Can you update your package names? The error doesn't match your class package.

And Mark stated:

I stripped them of all their implementations and removed the spring classes from your bean file, and it loads correctly, are you 100% sure its using the bean file you have here, and not some other copy of it?

To sum up my issue, for some odd reason my project was referencing a BEAN XML of the earlier version of my project. To resolve it I simply closed all other projects I had open (which I should have done to begin with) and changed my projects configuration paths in Eclipse (Java EE - Indigo; probably should have stated what compiler I was using too.) At any rate, this is my first post here on this site and I am quite impressed and thankful for the responses I got. Take it easy guys, hope to be a valuable member here as time goes on and thanks again.
