org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDepen dencyException

[jineshk]

Hi
I am upgrading the application from spring 2.0.6 to 2.5.5 version.
I got it compiled and run the junit testcases using maven without any issues.
When i deployed the same to the weblogic 10.0 i started getting
below stack trace. Any help from you guys are appreciated.

This forum is for the SpringSource dm Server, not for regular Spring apps running on WebLogic.
Your exception indicated that you're trying to autowire a bean called methodSecurityAdvisor that requires a bean of type MethodSecurityInterceptor as a constructor argument. However, such a bean is not defined, at least not in the application context(s) visible from the one that methodSecurityAdvisoris defined in.

[jineshk]

Joris,

Thanks for the reply. but the same context file has no issue while deployment using spring 2.0.8. I upgraded the libraries and changes the schema to point to 2.5.5 related.
also adding the bean definition part from context.xml.

<bean id="attributes" class="org.acegisecurity.annotation.SecurityAnnotationAtt ributes" />

<bean id="objectDefinitionSource" class="org.acegisecurity.intercept.method.MethodDefinitio nAttributes">
<property name="attributes">
<ref local="attributes" />
</property>
</bean>

<!-- We don't validate config attributes, as it's unsupported by MethodDefinitionAttributes -->
<bean id="securityInterceptor" class="org.acegisecurity.intercept.method.aopalliance.Met hodSecurityInterceptor">
<property name="validateConfigAttributes"><value>false</value></property>
<property name="authenticationManager"><ref local="authenticationManager"/></property>
<property name="accessDecisionManager"><ref local="businessAccessDecisionManager"/></property>
<property name="afterInvocationManager"><ref local="afterInvocationManager"/></property>
<property name="objectDefinitionSource"><ref local="objectDefinitionSource"/></property>
</bean>

<!--
AOP advisor that will automatically wire the MethodSecurityInterceptor (above)
into our services. The configuration attributes used are obtained
from the securityInterceptor.objectDefinitionSouce, which in the
above configuration is a JDK 5 Annotations Attributes-based source.
-->
<bean id="methodSecurityAdvisor"
class="org.acegisecurity.intercept.method.aopalliance.Met hodDefinitionSourceAdvisor">

<constructor-arg index="0" ref="securityInterceptor"/>

</bean>

[Joris Kuipers]

When you say context.xml, do you really mean applicationContext-acegi.xml? Because that's the file that the error mentions.
It's weird, the config you're showing has an explicit constructor AND a matching dependency, but the error indicates that the constructor is autowired instead AND that the dependency cannot be resolved. It looks like the content you've shown isn't actually used at runtime, though it's hard to tell without additional info.

Hi,

Yes i meant the applicationcontext_acegi.xml.
when i changed the bean definition to constructor argument (as mentioned in my 2 nd post) the earlier mentioned error was gone and now i have very different stack trace.
