Help: TypeMismatchException

[java9394]

I am new to SpringFramework. I tried to use c3p0 connection pool with my code. I can use the XmlBeanFactory to get the ComboPooledDataSource. However, I got TypeMismatchException when I tried to get productManager instance.

Failed to convert property value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [javax.sql.DataSource] for property 'dataSource']

Any idea?

Thanks.

<beans>	
	<bean id="productDS" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource">
		<property name="driverClass"><value>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</value></property>
		<property name="jdbcUrl"><value>jdbc&#58;oracle&#58;thin&#58;correctURLforDB</value></property>
		<property name="minPoolSize"><value>1</value></property>
		<property name="acquireIncrement"><value>1</value></property>
		<property name="maxPoolSize"><value>10</value></property>
	</bean>
	<bean id="productManager" class="com.mycom.ProductManagerDaoJdbc">
		<property name="dataSource"><idref local="productDS"/></property>
	</bean>
</beans>

productManager definition should be

<bean id="productManager" class="com.mycom.ProductManagerDaoJdbc"> 
<property name="dataSource"><ref local="productDS"/></property> 
</bean>

Thanks. It worked. So the idref is short hand and error-proof for <value/> only then
