I am using Spring3.1.1 with hibernate4 to implement a JEE project.
I'm receiving the following error on the controller
SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'createUserController': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private com.myproject.service.user.UserManager com.myproject.controller.user.CreateUserController.userManager; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No matching bean of type [com.myproject.service.user.UserManager] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

My UserManagerImpl.java class
@Service
public class UserManagerImpl implements UserManager {
@Autowired
private UserDAO userDAO;
}
And the Controller.java
@Controller
public class CreateUserController {
@Autowired
private UserManager userManager;
}
I have tried adding @Configuration and @ComponentScan("com.myproject.service.user") to the controller and i still received the same error.
Does anyone see why the autowiring & scanning aren't working please?
Why are you scanning for:
<context:component-scan base-package="com.myproject.service.user"/>
and at the same time are you declaring:
<bean id="userManager" class="com.myproject.service.user.UserManagerImpl"></bean>
?
UPDATE
You are experiencing a strange problem. In order to isolate it try the following minimal configuration. I've tested successfully using spring 3.2.2 on tomcat 8.0.3.0, but these versions shouldn't make difference compared to the once you've used.
