Error creating bean

Question

I have the following AccountController class

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/rest/accounts")
public class AccountController {
private AccountService accountService;

@Autowired
public AccountController(AccountService accountService) {
    this.accountService = accountService;
}
... implemented methods here
} 

The AccountService class is as below

public interface AccountService {
public Account findAccount(BigInteger id);

public Account createAccount(Account data);

public Account deleteAccount(String email);

public Boolean updateAccount(String email,String password);

public List<Account> findAllAccounts();

// public Account deleteAccount();

public Customer createCustomer(String accountId, Customer data);

public List<Customer> findCustomersByAccount(String accountId);

}

The AccountServiceImpl class is as below

@Service

public class AccountServiceImpl implements AccountService{

@Autowired
private AccountRepository accountRepo;

@Autowired
private CustomerRepository custRepo;
..implemented methods here 

}

My servlet.xml has the following component scan

<context:component-scan base-package="com.sam.spring.web.rest.mvc" />

The /src/resource/context.xml has the following

<context:component-scan base-package="com.sam.spring.web.core.services"></context:component-scan>
<context:component-scan base-package="com.sam.spring.web.core.repositories.jpa"></context:component-scan>

I get the following error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'accountController' defined in file ...

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [com.sam.spring.web.core.services.AccountService] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

What have I done wrong in this setup ?

Answer 1

Try this <context:component-scan base-package="com.sam.spring.web.rest.mvc, com.sam.spring.web.core.services, com.sam.spring.web.core.repositories.jpa" />
