No qualifying bean of type "myOwnType" - Primitive beans like String works

I have a Spring project and try to pass the services application context to an other service which is "spring free".

My Spring project:

@Service
public class MySpringService implements MyApi {

...

private static MySpringService INSTANCE;

@Autowired
private MyRepository        repo;

@SuppressWarnings("resource")
public static MySpringService implementation() {
    if (INSTANCE == null) {
        ApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(MyServiceConfig.class);
        INSTANCE = ctx.getBean(MySpringService.class);
    }

    return INSTANCE;
}

This is the corresponding AppConfig:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan("de.mypackage.my.serivce")
public class MyServiceConfig 
...
@Bean
public MySpringService mySpringService() {
    return new MySpringService();
}

In my other other project I just try to call MySpringService spgSvc = MySpringService.implementation(); which leads to a NoSuchBeanDefinitionException:

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [de.mypackage.my.serivce.MySpringService] is defined

On the other hand I can pass easily primitive beans which are just a String or Integer. Also this approach already works in other projects! I checked every code row but I still do not know what I messed up here. Maven install worked successful. Only difference this time I am within a JUNIT test which calls the "spring free" project where the exception is thrown. Anyone here who has an idea?

EDIT: I tried to solve it with an explicit @Qualifier(myQualifier) at my bean definition public MySpringService mySpringService(). But trying to get the bean with INSTANCE = (MySpringService) ctx.getBean("myQualifier"); leads to following exception:

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'myQualifier' is defined

Solution

  • My problem occurred due not fully understanding which used Spring annotations are necessary.

    1. The "component scan" was completely unnecessary.
    2. The @Service annotation and the @Bean definition of MySpringService might lead to the problems.

    After deleting the @Service and @ComponentScan my services works fine! This insight brought me Grzegorz: http://www.baeldung.com/spring-nosuchbeandefinitionexception
