I am trying to write a SOAP service using Spring, however I receive a Dependency Injection issue. I'm having problems using @Autowired through the Service like this:

    public interface UserDao {
    User getUser(String username);
}

Implementation for Dao as below:

  @Controller("userDao")
    public class UserDaoImpl implements UserDao {
    private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(UserDaoImpl.class);

    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("sessionFactory")
    private LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory;

    @Override
    public User getUser(String username) {
        Session session = sessionFactory.getObject().openSession();
        // Criteria query = session.createCriteria(Student.class);
        Query query = session
                .createQuery("from User where username = :username");
        query.setParameter("username", username);
        try {
            System.out.println("\n Load Student by ID query is running...");
            /*
             * query.add(Restrictions.like("id", "%" + id + "%",
             * MatchMode.ANYWHERE)); return (Student) query.list();
             */
            return (User) query.uniqueResult();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
            log.info(e.toString());
        } finally {
            session.close();
        }
        return null;
    }

}

and

public interface UserBo {
    User loadUser(String username);
}

and

public class UserBoImpl implements UserBo {
    @Autowired
    private UserDao userDao;

    @Override
    public User loadUser(String username) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return userDao.getUser(username);
    }

}


@WebService
@Component
public class UserService {

    @Autowired
    private UserBo userBo;

    @WebMethod(operationName = "say")
    public String sayHello(String name) {
        return ("Hello Java to " + name);
    }

    @WebMethod(operationName = "getUser")
    public User getUser(String username) {
        return userBo.loadUser(username);
    }
}

Look at the exception:

No qualifying bean of type [edu.java.spring.ws.dao.UserDao] found for dependency

This means that there's no bean available to fulfill that dependency. Yes, you have an implementation of the interface, but you haven't created a bean for that implementation. You have two options:

  • Annotate UserDaoImpl with @Component or @Repository, and let the component scan do the work for you, exactly as you have done with UserService.
  • Add the bean manually to your xml file, the same you have done with UserBoImpl.

Remember that if you create the bean explicitly you need to put the definition before the component scan. In this case the order is important.


Add the annotation @Repository to the implementation of UserDaoImpl

@Repository
public class UserDaoImpl implements UserDao {
    private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(UserDaoImpl.class);

    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("sessionFactory")
    private LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory;

    //...

}
