@Qualifier not working after 2.5 -> 3.0.3 upgrade

[polesen]

Hi,

Is there anything special I need to do in the config, to make springs @Qualifier work with 3.0.3? I had this perfectly working with 2.5, but after an upgrade, it does not. No code changes except upgrade of jars were done.

I have a marker interface:

@Target({ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.PARAMETER, ElementType.TYPE})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Qualifier
@Inherited
public @interface Autotaks {
}

which is @Qualifier annotated. I then have bean:

@Service
@Autotaks
@Transactional
public class AutotaksTimeprisCollectorServiceImpl extends implements TimeprisCollectorService {
...
}

and then inject like this:

  @Autowired
  @Autotaks
  TimeprisCollectorService timeprisCollectorService;

which now fails in spring 3.0.3 :-(

If I change it to:

  @Resource(name = "autotaksTimeprisCollectorServiceImpl")
  TimeprisCollectorService timeprisCollectorService;

it works, but it kinda defeats the purpose of the @Qualifier :-)

Should I switch to JSR-330 @Inject with its qualifier instead?

Ooh yeah, one important thing I forgot to mention:

This fails from spring-mock 2.0.8 tests only!!! When the applicationContext is bootstrapped through a testcase that inherits for instance org.springframework.test.jpa.AbstractJpaTests is fails.

Strange hugh?!

Hmmm,...never mind. Converted to Junit4 and the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner which made the problem dissappear (still have no clue why it didn't work with spring-mock-2.0.8+spring-3.0.3).
