Class cast exception in bean injection

[eswarpalani]

Hi,

I have configured the bean in xml as given below.

<bean id="searchDAO" parent="txProxyTemplate"> ...


<bean id="txProxyTemplate" abstract="true"
class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor .TransactionProxyFactoryBean">
<property name="transactionManager">
<ref bean="transactionManager" />
</property>
<property name="preInterceptors">
<list>
<ref bean="exceptionInterceptor" />
<!-- <ref local="methodTimeInterceptor" /> -->
</list>
</property>

<property name="transactionAttributes">
<props>
<prop key="save*">
PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,-com.radaptive.common.exception.RttException
</prop>
<prop key="update*">
PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,-com.radaptive.common.exception.RttException
</prop>
<prop key="delete*">
PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,-com.radaptive.common.exception.RttException
</prop>
<prop key="*">
PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,-com.radaptive.common.exception.RttException
</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>

Am getting the bean like

WebApplicationContext context;
SearchDAOImpl searchDAO = (SearchDAOImpl)context.getBean("searchDAO");


While accessing bean like this I am getting the class cast exception like

$Proxy17 cannot be cast to com.radaptive.rdpv.search.dao.impl.SearchDAOImpl

Thanks in advance

Please use [ code][/code ] tags when posting code that way it remains readable ...

Plese use the forum post as this question has been answered numerous times before I also suggest a read of the aop chapter of the reference guide.

Short answer: Program to interfaces not concrete classes. Next to that don't use the TransactionProxyFactoryBean as it should be considered deprecated since the introduction of the new aop configuration (Spring 2.0).
