no bean named 'crontrigger' is defined

[Shajid Johnny]

Hello dear members,
I am working on modifying and enhancing an existing application which is built on Struts (for MVC) , Spring (for Service layer), Tomcat App Server.
in the application, there is a Job Scheduler defined if the ApplicationContext.xml which i am showing bellow:

<!--This is Scedular class -->
    <bean id="exampleBusinessObject" class="com.boss.schedular.bossScheduler">
        <property name="serverEmailId" value="${email.id}"></property>
        <property name="serverEmailPassword" value="${email.password}"></property>
        <property name="incommingServer" value="${email.incommingserver}"></property>
        <property name="outGoingServer" value="${email.outgoingserver}"></property>
        <property name="requestorSer" ref="requestorService"></property>
        <property name="emailSer" ref="emailService"></property>
        <property name="ticketSer" ref="ticketService"></property>
        <property name="fileUploadSer" ref="fileUploadService"></property>
        <property name="rUtil" ref="businessRuleUtil"></property>
        <!--<property name="logger" ref="log4jDirectConfigurer"></property>-->
    </bean>
    <!--End of Scedular class --> 

    
    <!-- commented started by johnny-->
    <bean id="jobDetail" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean">
        <property name="targetObject"> <ref bean= "exampleBusinessObject" />
        </property>
        <property name="targetMethod" value="mailFetch">
        </property>
        <property name="concurrent" value="false" >
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="simpleTrigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SimpleTriggerBean">
         <!--see the example of method invoking job above -->
        <property name="jobDetail"> <ref bean="jobDetail" /> </property>

         <!--10 seconds -->
        <property name="startDelay" value="10000" />
         <!--epeat every 50 seconds -->
        <property name="repeatInterval" value="60000" />
    </bean>

    <bean class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean">
        <property name="triggers">
            <list>
                
                <ref bean="cronTrigger" />
                
                <!--Open following to start the Scedular-->
                <ref bean="simpleTrigger" />
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

when i run the application, it shows the following error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 
    'org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean#0' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/bossApplicationContext.xml]:  
        Cannot resolve reference to bean 'cronTrigger' while setting bean property 'triggers' with key [0]; nested exception is
            org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'cronTrigger' is defined

even if i remove the reference

<ref bean="cronTrigger" />

, still it shows the above error.

i am new to Spring, and all i have is a basic knowledge on Spring Job scheduler. but i don't get the clue what to do here.

would anybody please give me some hint?
Thanks in advance

I don't see a bean defined with id = "cronTrigger". You need one of these when you use

<ref bean="cronTrigger" />

As for still seeing the error after you removed the above line, I would look at the possibility that you removed it from the wrong file or a file in the wrong directory. Or perhaps there is another XML file that has those same lines?

Or after removing it, he didn't redeploy his app with the changes. ;)
