org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException

[annijos]

Hi,

I am trying to use "auto-proxy" feature. I have a DAO class which implements an interface and extends JdbcTemplate like follows

public interface ClientDAO {
}

public class ClientDAOImpl extends JdbcTemplate
implements ClientDAO

This class is configured in applicationContext.xml as below

<bean id="clientDAO" class="com.myapp.dao.ClientDAOImpl">
		<property name="dataSource">
			<ref bean="dataSource" />
		</property>
			</bean>

I am trying to intercept calls to this class using BeanNameAutoProxyCreator as below

<bean name="logAutoProxy" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy.BeanNameAutoProxyCreator">
	   <property name="beanNames">
		<value>*DAO</value>
	   </property>
	   <property name="interceptorNames">
    	 	<list>
        	 <value>logInterceptor</value>
	     	</list>
	   </property>
	</bean>

.

But when i deploy my application and restart the server I am getting following exception

org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException: Failed to convert property value of type [$Proxy9] to required type [com.myapp.dao..ClientDAOImpl] for property 'clientDAO'

It seems that some other bean (one that is not shown) has a property of the ClientDAOImpl type. Since the proxy created implements the ClientDAO interface, but does not extend ClientDAOImpl, you get an exception.

Check if any of the other beans have a method of the form: setClientDAO(ClientDAOImpl).
