BeanUtils, InstantiationException, abstract class

[ttruong]

Hi all,

I have a concrete class MyClass defined in my spring config file. Something like:

<bean id="myBean" class="MyClass" />

The method itself is defined by an inherited abstract class.

Now when BeanUtils tries to invoke this method it tries to instantiate the abstract class instead of MyClass and throws of course an InstantiationException.

How do I tell Spring to use the class MyClass as defined in my config?

Thanks Tai

I should mention that BeanUtils is called by the HandlerMethodInvoker class. Since HandlerMethodInvoker is part of Spring Web maybe this post should be moved to the Web forum.
Can a forum admin do this?
