Problems with factory-method

[techiemails@yahoo.com]

Hello All,

I am having a problem with factory-method -

I have a bean definition (say X.class) which has a factory-method definition pointing to createInstance which is a static method my class X which takes 4 parameters which I am initializing through the <constructor-arg/> definitions.

At runtime, my webapplication doesn't start saying it cannot find any matching factory methods - factory-method createInstance.

Any reason for this behaviour?

I am stuck with this problem, any help would be of great help.

Thanks & Regards
Surya

<code>
<bean id="x" class="com.test.X" factory-method="createInstance">
<constructor-arg value="${type}" type="java.lang.String" index="0" />
<constructor-arg value="${stream}" type="java.io.InputStream" index="1" />
<constructor-arg value="${name}" type="java.lang.String" index="2" />
<constructor-arg value="${substring}" type="java.lang.String" index="3" />
</bean>

Please use [ code][/code ] tags (square brackets) that way it gets formatted correctly.

Can you also post the code (factory method/class) and the stacktrace....

are you missing "factory-bean" parameter ?, I am new to Spring so may be wrong but a pointer for you.

No he isn't... That is only used if you want to call a factory method on an instance instead of a static-factory method.
