Autowired - No qualifying bean of type found for dependency

Question

I ve started my project by creating entities  services and JUnit tests for services using Spring and Hibernate  All of this works great  Then I ve added spring-mvc to make this web application using many different step-by-step tutorials  but when I m trying to make Controller with  Autowired annotation  I m getting errors from Glassfish during deployment  I guess that for some reason Spring doesn t see my services  but after many attempts I still can t handle it   Tests for services with    RunWith SpringJUnit4ClassRunner class   ContextConfiguration locations     classpath  beans xml      and   Autowired MailManager mailManager    works properly   Controllers without  Autowired too  I can open my project in web browser without trouble    src main resources beans xml   lt  xml version  1 0

You should autowire interface AbstractManager instead of class MailManager  If you have different implemetations of AbstractManager you can write  Component  mailService   and then  Autowired  Qualifier  mailService   combination to autowire specific class   This is due to the fact that Spring creates and uses proxy objects based on the interfaces

This may help you   I have the same exception in my project  After searching while I found that I am missing the  Service annotation to the class where I am implementing the interface which I want to  Autowired   In your code you can add the  Service annotation to MailManager class    Transactional  Service public class MailManager extends AbstractManager implements IMailManager

My guess is that here   lt context component-scan base-package  pl com radzikowski webmail  use-default-filters  false  gt       lt context include-filter type  annotation  expression  org springframework stereotype Controller    gt   lt  context component-scan gt    all annotations are first disabled by use-default-filters  false  and then only  Controller annotation enabled  Thus  your  Component annotation is not enabled

Instead of  Autowire MailManager mailManager  you can mock the bean as given below   import org springframework boot test mock mockito MockBean           MockBean MailManager mailManager    Also  you can configure  MockBean MailManager mailManager  separately in the  SpringBootConfiguration class and initialize like below    Autowire MailManager mailManager

Can you try annotating only your concrete implementation with  Component  Maybe the following answer could help  It is kind of a similar problem  I usually put Spring annotations in the implementation classes   https   stackoverflow com a 10322456 2619091

Faced the same issue in my spring boot application even though I had my package specific scans enabled like    SpringBootApplication scanBasePackages   com        But  the issue was resolved by providing  ComponentScan   com      in my Application class

If you are testing your controller  Don t forget to use  WebAppConfiguration on your test class

One reason BeanB may not exist in the context  Another cause for the exception is the existence of two bean Or definitions in the context  bean that isn   t defined is requested by name from the Spring context   see more this url   http   www baeldung com spring-nosuchbeandefinitionexception

User · Answer

The thing is that both the application context and the web application context are registered in the WebApplicationContext during server startup  When you run the test you must explicitly tell which contexts to load    Try this    RunWith SpringJUnit4ClassRunner class   ContextConfiguration locations     classpath  beans xml     mvc-dispatcher-servlet xml

I ran in to this recently  and as it turned out  I ve imported the wrong annotation in my service class  Netbeans has an option to hide import statements  that s why I did not see it for some time   I ve used  org jvnet hk2 annotations Service instead of  org springframework stereotype Service

I was facing the same issue while auto-wiring the class from one of my jar file  I fixed the issue by using  Lazy annotation   import org springframework beans factory annotation Autowired  import org springframework context annotation Lazy        Autowired      Lazy     private IGalaxyCommand iGalaxyCommand

The solution that worked for me was to add all the relevant classes to the  ContextConfiguration annotation for the testing class  The class to test  MyClass java  had two autowired components  AutowireA and AutowireB  Here is my fix   ContextConfiguration classes    MyClass class  AutowireA class  AutowireB class   public class MyClassTest

Spent much of my time with this  My bad  Later found that the class on which I declared the annotation Service or Component was of type abstract  Had enabled debug logs on Springframework but no hint was received  Please check if the class if of abstract type  If then  the basic rule applied  can t instantiate an abstract class

I had this happen because my tests were not in the same package as my components    I had renamed my component package  but not my test package    And I was using  ComponentScan in my test  Configuration class  so my tests weren t finding the components on which they relied   So  double check that if you get this error

User · Answer

Correct way shall be to autowire AbstractManager  as Max suggested  but this should work fine as well    Autowired  Qualifier value  mailService   public MailManager mailManager    and   Component  mailService    Transactional public class MailManager extends AbstractManager

User · Answer

I had this happen because I added an autowired dependency to my service class but forgot to add it to the injected mocks in my service unit test   The unit test exception appeared to report a problem in the service class when the problem was actually in the unit test  In retrospect  the error message told me exactly what the problem was

lt context component-scan base-package  com      gt    same issue arrived   i solved it by keeping the annotations intact and in dispatcher servlet    keeping the base package scan as com    this worked for me
