getting $Proxy0 cannot be cast exception

[sirisha mullapudi]

Hi,
I have implemented BeanNameAware Interface and i am trying to access the bean using ApplicationContext.There i am getting exception $Proxy0 cannot be cast to net.springtest.SimpleBean. I am new to Spring framework.I have read that applicationcontext provides all the features that bean factory has.But here i am able to load the bean using BeanFactory but not ApplicationContext. Can you please describe what exactly proxy meant here and in what situations we should use bean factory and applicationContext. Appreciate your Help.

Regards,
Sireesha

You must be using some sort of AOP I think so you are getting a proxy object. Can you show us your spring configuration file...

hi,please find the xml below :
<bean id="simpleBean" class="net.springtest.SimpleBean"> <!-- <constructor-arg value="Vinay" /> <constructor-arg value="24" />--> <property name="age" value="10"></property> </bean> <!-- Aspect Mapping --> <bean id="aspectLogging" class="net.springtest.AspectLogger" /> <aop:config> <!-- Pointct Mapping --> <aop:pointcut id="pointcutLog" expression="within(net.springtest.SimpleBean)" /> <!-- Advice Mapping --> <aop:aspect id="aopAspect" ref="aspectLogging"> <!--<aop:before pointcut-ref="pointcutLog" method="logEntry" /> <aop:after pointcut-ref="pointcutLog" method="logExit" /> <aop:after-returning pointcut-ref="pointcutLog" method="logExitAfterReturn" />--> <aop:around pointcut-ref="pointcutLog" method="logAroundAdvice"/> <aop:after-throwing pointcut-ref="pointcutLog" method="logAfterThrowsAdvice"/> </aop:aspect> </aop:config> </beans>
Thanks,

Yes indeed you are using AOP. In that case you'll have to create a base interface of SimpleBean class and use that interface as reference when you get the simpleBean from ApplicationContext...
