This question is related to java spring hibernate spring-mvc beancreationexception

The answer is


Copied from the stacktrace:

BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [com.gestEtu.project.model.dao.CompteDAOHib]: No default constructor found; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: com.gestEtu.project.model.dao.CompteDAOHib.<init>()

By default, Spring will try to instantiate beans by calling a default (no-arg) constructor. The problem in your case is that the implementation of the CompteDAOHib has a constructor with a SessionFactory argument. By adding the @Autowired annotation to a constructor, Spring will attempt to find a bean of matching type, SessionFactory in your case, and provide it as a constructor argument, e.g.

@Autowired
public CompteDAOHib(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
    // ...
}

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'MyController'

Make sure that you have added ojdbc14.jar into your library.

For oracle 11g, usie ojdbc6.jar.


If nothing happens even if you added all the annotation needed, try to add this dependency to your pom.xml, I just faced the same problem and resolved it by adding this one here:

<dependency>
   <groupId>commons-configuration</groupId>
   <artifactId>commons-configuration</artifactId>
   <version>1.9</version>
</dependency>

Change from @Controller to @Service to CompteController and add @Service annotation to CompteDAOHib. Let me know if you still face this issue.


Exception clearly indicates the problem.

CompteDAOHib: No default constructor found

For spring to instantiate your bean, you need to provide a empty constructor for your class CompteDAOHib.


I have been getting similar error, and just want to share with you. maybe it will help someone.

If you want to use EntityManagerFactory to get an EntityManager, make sure that you will use:

<persistence-unit name="name" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">

and not:

<persistence-unit name="name" transaction-type="JPA">

in persistance.xml

clean and rebuild project, it should help.
