How to autowire one bean to another bean in spring mvc

Question

i have two classes ie two beans annotated with @Component(SampleBean.java) and @Controller(TestController.java).

I want to autowire SampleBean.java in TestController.java

here my code is :

MyServletInterface.java

            public interface MyServletInterface {
                  public void m2(); 

            }

SampleBean.java

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

            @Component
            public class SampleBean implements MyServletInterface {

                @Autowired
                SessionFactory sessionFactory;

                public void m2() {
                    System.out.println("SessionFactory >:< " + sessionFactory);

                }

            }

TestController.java

                package sample.test;

                import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
                import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
                import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
                import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
                import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;                    


                @Controller
                public class TestController {

                    @Autowired
                    SessionFactory sessionFactory;

                    @Autowired
                    MyServletInterface ms;

                    @RequestMapping("/form")
                    public ModelAndView method() {
                        System.out.println("inside method");
                        ms.m2();

                        System.out.println("SessionFactory : " + sessionFactory);
                        return new ModelAndView("check_size");
                    }

                    public MyServletInterface getMs() {
                        return ms;
                    }

                    public void setMs(MyServletInterface ms) {
                        this.ms = ms;
                    }

                }

i want autowire the SampleBean.java into TestController.java

by above approach i got exception :

Answer 1

Exception trace suggests that bean was not found at the time of injecting in controller class. Can you check if component scan includes your base package where SampleBean class resides. If you have excluded or missed this class this wont be eligible for auto-scanning.
