Newbie: Can't get lookup injection working

[paulf]

I'm reading through the Spring reference and I'm experimenting with Spring as I go along. I'm basically using the example given in 3.3.3.1 Lookup method injection. I'm obviously missing something.

I'm using a XmlBeanFactory

My bean file is:

<beans>
<bean id="myDataSource" class="mypackage.MyDataSource" singleton="true"/>
<bean id="contactPoints" class="mypackage.ContactPoints">
<property name="myDataSource">
<ref bean="myDataSource"/>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="customer" class="mypackage.Customer">
<property name="myDataSource">
<ref bean="myDataSource"/>
</property>
<lookup-method name="createContactPoints" bean="contactPoints"/>
</bean>
</beans>

If I take out the lookup-method all three beans are instantiated no problem. I want to return a ContactPoints object in the method createContactPoints in the Customer object.

The error I get is below. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

You need to add CGLib jar to your classpath.

Much appreciated!
