Spring Service annotation

[kannanMugundan]

Hi,

I have a spring service

like

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

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

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'.

Hi thanks, So silly of me to ask such a question.(I am new to annotations...) Thanks once again.
