Injection Issue in standalone jar

[paresh doshi]

Hi,

I have a standalone executable jar which uses spring injection through test1-context.xml. The dependency code is as below:

<bean id="TestDAO" class="com.test.dao.TestDAO">
<property name="dbResourceHandler"><ref bean="dbResourceHandler" /></property>
</bean>

here dbResourceHandler is the injected bean property, which lies in a different jar file. I have the dbUtils.jar in my classpath and i import context file using the below text:

<import resource="classpath*:com/**/resource-context.xml"/>

The entry of the dbResourceHandler in dbUtil jar is as below:

<bean id="dbResourceHandler" class="com.test.dbutils.DBResourceHandler">
<property name="dataSourceUK"><ref bean="dataSourceUK" /></property>
</bean>

It seems that the dbResourceHandler is not being injected properly and the code gives error:

ClassCastException: com.test.dbutils.DBResourceHandler not found.

Regards,
Paresh

Below is the exact error message:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'TestDAO' defined in class path resource [com/test/test1-context.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'dbResourceHandler' while setting bean property 'dbResourceHandler'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'dbResourceHandler' is defined
