NotWritablePropertyException: Bean property 'dataSource' is not writable or has an invalid setter method

Question

I am implementing Spring Transaction in my application service layer..

I was referring to example on tutorials point for programmatic way of implementing spring transaction...

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/spring/programmatic_management.htm

I followed each & every step mentioned over there....but getting issue with bean creation in the xml file..

Error:

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManager' defined in class path resource [database/spring.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'dataSource' of bean class [org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager]: Bean property 'dataSource' is not writable or has an invalid setter method. Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?

system & application configuration: OS: ubuntu 16.0.4 spring version: - 5.0.3 tomcat: 9 jdk: 1.9
IDE: Eclipse Oxygen 3

It will be very helpful for me if any one can give me the solution...

Answer 1

The property name of DataSourceTransactionManager that set the datasource is as writen in the stacktrace dataSource and not xxxxxDataSource . you config should be as follow

        <bean class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.
        DataSourceTransactionManager" id="transactionManager">
         <property name="dataSource" ref="xxxxDataSource"> 
         </property>    
       </bean>
