@Resource referencing a transactional @Service Bean

[mellouk]

Hi People,

I have a service class annotated with @Service. In that I class I have a method annoated with @Transactional. So, nothing special and all works fine. I use Spring Transaction definied through my application context xml. Everything is default.

I want to you use somewhere else @Resource to injected that service object into a field object. The Exception I get is that my field object is of type service-class but should be of some dynamically created proxy class. The only way around this problem which I tried is to use appcontext.getBean("...").

Or do I miss something here?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Cheers
Michael

You should never program against the concrete class, use the interface and don't cast to the concrete class. If you don't implement a business interface use classproxies instead.

Hi Marten,

thanks, that's it. The field which is annotated with @Resource and references a @Service bean is an interface now, and now it works fine!!!

Great support, thank you very much!!
