Cannot find Class XXX for bean with the name XXX defined in ServletContext

Question

I am writing a Spring MVC and stuck with the below error:

18:34:44,999 WARN [org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext] (MSC service thread 1-1) Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping#0': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class [com.icumed.beans.RequestInterfaceImpl] for bean with name 'scopedTarget.requestscope' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/FetchDevice-servlet.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.icumed.beans.RequestInterfaceImpl from [Module "deployment.6.BeanScopingRequestSession.war:main" from Service Module Loader] Related cause: org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class [com.icumed.beans.RequestInterfaceImpl] for bean with name 'scopedTarget.requestscope' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/FetchDevice-servlet.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.icumed.beans.RequestInterfaceImpl from [Module "deployment.6.BeanScopingRequestSession.war:main" from Service Module Loader] Related cause: org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class [com.icumed.beans.SessionInterfaceImpl] for bean with name 'scopedTarget.sessionscope' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/FetchDevice-servlet.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.icumed.beans.SessionInterfaceImpl from [Module "deployment.6.BeanScopingRequestSession.war:main" from Service Module Loader]

Answer 1

First: you can change your filter. Sometimes it needs those.

<filter>
<filter-name>requestContextFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.RequestContextFilter</filterclass>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>requestContextFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>      //filter path
</filter-mapping>

Second: you know RequestInterfaceImpl is @Autowired . It needs proxy; you set proxy-target-class="false" , so it will use JDK proxy, not CGLib.

And you can do this:

@Autowired(required=true)
private RequestInterface requestInterface;   // use its interface, not impl

Or you can set proxy-target-class="true" . I think it's wrong because of proxy!
