Quartz and DAO injection problem wtih SchedulerFactoryBean schedulerContextAsMap

[bgardner]

As part of my Spring Batch process, I have created a class that watches for new files to arrive, stores their names in a database (if they're not already there), and passes that file name in the JobParameters to a job.

I want to use Quartz to schedule looking for new files, and am having a problem with the schedulerContextAsMap in the SchedulerFactoryBean.

If I use the map to inject a string, all is well; my problems start when I also use it to inject a DAO. Here is the ScheduleFactoryBean config:

<bean class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
  <property name="jobFactory" ref="jobFactory" />
  <property name="schedulerContextAsMap">
    <map>
      <entry key="message" value-ref="message" />
      <entry key="trackingDao" value-ref="cdrTrackingDao" />
    </map>
  </property>
  <property name="jobDetails">
    <list>
      <ref bean="myJobDetail" />
    </list>
  </property>
  <property name="triggers">
    <list>
      <ref bean="simpleTrigger" />
    </list>
  </property>
</bean>

Both properties get injected, but when a method is called on the dao in the execute() method, nothing (apparently) happens and the job quits.

Is there anything I need to do with the DAO bean itself to make it more "valid"?

If I create an application that loads my app context, everything runs fine. If I load it in a JUnit, I have the problem I described. Wonder what the reason for that is...
