Autowire doesn't work

[zed420]

Hi All

Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong here, some how Autowire doesn't work in any of the class and it's been two long days.

Error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'contactController': Injection of autowired dependencies failed;
nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field:

Hello

Could not autowire field:
private org.hibernate.SessionFactory com.logicalideas.dao.ContactsImp.sessionFactory;
nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Lorg/hibernate/cache/CacheProvider;

Check that you have required dependencies, seems you have a problem of version too.

[zed420]

Thanks for your reply dr_pompeii. Any ideas which dependencies are missing. I made the project from SpringSouce Template Projects I'm slightly lost to which further dependencies to bring in.

For starters fix your hibernate setup... You are using hibernate3 in your configuration but are including hibernate4 in your project...

[zed420]

Thanks for pointing it out Marten this is what I have now.

Just fined out the problems I have deleted the @Atuowired annotation from all three classes and this is the error I'm getting now.

Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'dataSource' while setting bean property 'dataSource'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dataSource' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.PropertyBatchUpdateException; nested PropertyAccessExceptions (1) are:

Any suggestions ???

[Marten Deinum]

I suggest you start to read your stacktraces...

Cannot resolve reference to bean 'dataSource' while setting bean property 'dataSource'

There is no bean named dataSource...

Also removing @Autowired isn't going to solve your problem as you now basically get no injection and your SessionFactory is null, which in the end will lead to NullPointerExceptions.

[zed420]

After replacing all the @Autowired annotation and creating a dataSource class this is what I get;
Error:

Any thoughts

[Marten Deinum]

I'm feeling I'm repeating myself over-and-over... Read the stack trace!!!!

There is an error in your datasource configuration and the stack trace will tell you what is wrong with it (you only posted a partial stack trace so the actual part pointing to the solution isn't there). However my guess is the mysql jdbc driver isn't in your classpath...

[zed420]

Thank you Marten for being patient I've managed to get rid of most the errors apart from this one. I've been gooling it for a while it seems to be well known. I have tried most of the suggestions but as yet no joy. I've tried using Hibernate-core 3.6.10.Final that doesn't work either.

You have nothing that drives the transactions. You have the infrastructure ready (the transaction manager) but haven't specified where/when to start/stop a transaction. I suggest a read of the reference guide on how to do declarative transaction management.
