This is part of my root-context.xml in spring mvc project(3.2.8 RELEASE).
<context:component-scan base-package="org.owls.test">
And I got some structures like below.
--org/owls/test
----dao
----dao.impl
----service
----service.impl
----controller
I got 2 annotations in my source code. one is @Repository which is on my DaoImpl Class and the other is @Service on my Service Interface.
I ran this with JUnit(4.7). DAOImpl thing works fine as I expected but Service does not work. I knew I can use @Service with an interface, but somehow this case can not.
error messages is here

Is there any good samples which use component-scan xml setting and @Service annotation on interface so I can compare with mine?
thanks for help :D
The annotation must be on the implementation not the interface. For some annotations spring looks at the interface (like @Transactional) but that is also basically a hack. Annotations are not inherited from interfaces, this is by design and is a Java and not a spring related thing.
Putting @Service on the interface has no effect what so ever. If you look at the answer in the link you provided you see that they also put @Component or @Repositoryon the implementation. If you put it on the interface it doesn't do a thing and your components will not be detected.
The specialized annotations like @Service, @Controller, @Repository are stereotype annotations. That way you can see what type of component it is (there are even more like @Endpoint - spring-webservices or @MessageEndpoint - spring-integration). For some of these annotations there is additional behavior like automatic exception translation for @Repository annotated beans.
