Cannot Autowire Service into Controller_问答_开发者

I have a spring application and I am trying to autowire my service into my controller but it keeps returning the same error:

Error: No matching bean of type [org.sims.service.SIMSService] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency

As if it cannot find the service bean. I am defining my service bean in a file that is called spring-service.xml which is specied in my web.xml file. At this point I took out all the code from the service because I just want the service to load but it is still not loading

Here is my service:

package org.sims.service;
public interface SIMSService {}

Here is my Service impl:

package org.sims.service.impl;

public class SIMSServiceImpl implements SIMSService{}

Here is my controller:

package org.sims.web.controller;

@Controller
@RequestMapping(value="/glossarySearchResults")
public class GlossarySearchController 
{

@Autowired
private SIMSService simsService = null;

Here is my spring-service.xml

I created a project based on your source code, added my own pom, and it works fine. You must have something peculiar somewhere else. You can take a look at the working example on github, or if you have git, you can check it out and run it yourself:

git clone git://github.com/zzantozz/testbed.git tmp
cd tmp/stackoverflow/7692855-springmvc-controller-autowiring
mvn jetty:run

Then visit http://localhost:8080/7692855-springmvc-controller-autowiring/glossarySearchResults, and you'll see the resulting page. The only thing I really changed in your code was to narrow down the list of context files in web.xml to contain only spring-service.xml.

are you not missing a

  <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
     xsi:schemaLocation="
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">

    <context:annotation-config/>

  </beans>

at the beginning of your spring-services.xml file?

org.sims.service.SIMSService

I think you have not explicitly added your package "org.sims.service" for classpath scanning. You added only this:

<context:component-scan base-package="org.sims.web.controller" />

Maybe this is the problem.

Have you tried annotating your service class with @Service? This should cause Spring to pick it up via class-path scanning. It's just a special form of the @Component annotation.

i got the same problem. < context:component-scan base-package="org.sims.web" /> Try instead of < context:component-scan base-package="org.sims.web.controller" />
