无法在春季自动装配sessionfactory bean

Question

I have searched for various solutions but nothing helping me.

ERROR: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader - Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'roleDao': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private org.hibernate.SessionFactory com.oodles.app.dao.impl.RoleDAOImpl.sessionFactory; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [org.hibernate.SessionFactory] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

RoleDAO.java

package com.oodles.app.dao;

import com.oodles.app.domain.Role;

public interface RoleDAO
{
    public Role getRole(int id);
}

RoleDAOImpl.java

package com.oodles.app.dao.impl;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

import com.oodles.app.dao.RoleDAO;
import com.oodles.app.domain.Role;

@Repository(value="roleDao")
public class RoleDAOImpl implements RoleDAO {

    @Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    private Session getCurrentSession() {
        return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
    }

    public Role getRole(int id) {
        Role role = (Role) getCurrentSession().load(Role.class, id);
        return role;
    }
}

I also tried with adding @Qualifier("sessionFactory") with @Autowired in RoleDAOImpl. But it didnt worked.

Please help.

Answer 1

The problem lies in the way you are bootstraping Spring in the Servlet container.

In web.xml you are creating a root application context out of spring-security.xml and also a web application context out of servlet-context.xml .

The issue is that beans present in the web application context are not visible to beans in the root application context.

There are multiple solutions to the problem you have, one of which would be to move your Database related configuration into the root application context. Your web.xml would look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

    <!-- Creates the Spring Container shared by all Servlets and Filters -->
    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>

    <!-- Processes application requests -->
    <servlet>
       <servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
       <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
       <init-param>
          <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
          <param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml</param-value>
       </init-param>
       <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

    <!-- Loads Root application context -->
    <context-param>
       <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
       <param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

    <filter>
      <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
      <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
    </filter>

    <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
    <!-- spring security config ends here -->

</web-app>

I have renamed spring-security.xml to applicationContext.xml and it contains the code that your spring-security.xml contained plus the extra following code (that is moved from servlet-context.xml ):

<!-- JDBC Data Source. It is assumed you have MySQL running on localhost port 3306 with 
       username root and blank password. Change below if it's not the case -->
  <bean id="myDataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
    <!--
     <property name="driverClassName" value="org.postgresql.Driver"/>
    <property name="url" value="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/testdb"/>
    <property name="username" value="postgres"/>
    <property name="password" value="postgres"/>
    <property name="validationQuery" value="SELECT 1"/> 
    -->

     <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
    <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/testdb"/>
    <property name="username" value="root"/>
    <property name="password" value="root"/>
    <property name="validationQuery" value="SELECT 1"/> 

  </bean>

  <!-- Hibernate Session Factory -->
  <bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="dataSource" ref="myDataSource"/>
    <property name="packagesToScan">
      <array>
        <value>com.oodles.app.domain</value>
      </array>
    </property>
    <property name="hibernateProperties">
      <value>hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</value>
      <value>hibernate.show_sql=true</value>
    </property>
  </bean>

  <!-- Hibernate Transaction Manager -->
  <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager">
    <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory"/>
  </bean>

  <!-- Activates annotation based transaction management -->
  <tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager"/>
