Spring Service annotation

Hi,

I have a spring service

like

Code:

---

@Service("UserService")
public class UserService implements IUserService, UserDetailsService

---

if i remove the ("UserService") I get the below error

Code:

---

Cannot resolve reference to bean 'UserService' while setting bean property 'userDetailsService'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'UserService' is defined

---

My understanding is that if the service bean name is not provided, it will take the class name as bean name.
But as per this error, it is not working like that.

Is the bean name mandatory ? or am i missing some thing.

Your understanding is wrong... It takes the class name BUT with a lowercase first letter... so 'userService' instead of 'UserService'.
