org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'customerService' is defined

Question

I need help fixing this error I get when trying to deploy my web application into tomcat. Why isn't the customerService bean being defined? Am I missing something in my web.xml or do I have to map the customerService somehow? I am using annotations for mapping. any help would be much appreciated. Here is the error log entry from the localhost log:

Error:

customerService

package testapp.mis.service;

import testapp.mis.domain.Customer;

public interface CustomerService {


    public List<Customer> retrieveAllCustomerNames();
    public List<Customer> retrieveAllCustomerCountries();
    public void createCustomer(Customer customer);
    public List<Customer> retrieveAllCustomers();

}

thanks for the help, let me know if I need to put up any other files.

Edit: Here is the applicationContext.xml and the customerService Implementation files:

customerServiceImpl:

package testapp.mis.service;

import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

import testapp.mis.dao.CustomerDao;

@Service
public class CustomerServiceImpl implements CustomerService {

    @Autowired(required=true)
    private CustomerDao customerDao;

        return this.customerDao.getAllCustomerNames();
    }

    @Transactional

        return this.customerDao.getAllCustomerCountries();
    }

    @Transactional
    public void createCustomer(Customer customer){

    }

    @Transactional
    public List<Customer> retrieveAllCustomers(){
        return this.customerDao.getAllCustomers();

}

Edit2:

Here is the CustomerController. I added the @Autowired as suggested.

package testapp.mis.controller;

//import javax.annotation.Resource;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;


@Controller
@RequestMapping("/customer")
public class CustomerController {



    /*@Resource(name="customerService")
    private CustomerService customerService;
    */
    @Autowired
    private CustomerService customerService;


    @RequestMapping(value="/list", method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public String getCustomerList(Model model) {
        List<Customer> customers = customerService.retrieveAllCustomers();
        System.out.println("test");
        model.addAttribute("customerList", customers);

        return "customer";
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/add", method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public String getCustomer(Model model) {

        model.addAttribute("customerAttribute", new Customer());

        return "new-customer";
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/add", method=RequestMethod.POST)
    public String postCustomer(@ModelAttribute("customerAttribute") Customer customer) {
        customerService.createCustomer(customer);

        return "redirect:/mis/customer/list";
    }
}

Did you configure CustomerService in xml or annotate with either @Service/@Component/@Repository? — K. Siva Prasad Reddy, Apr 30 '12 at 11:28
@sivaprasadreddy.k I annotated my service implementation with "@Service". I added the implementation file in my edit — dlinx90, Apr 30 '12 at 11:48

JOHND · Accepted Answer · 2012-04-30T12:40:56.463

By reading your exception , It's sure that you forgot to autowire customerService

You should autowire your customerservice .

make following changes in your controller class

@Controller
public class CustomerController{

    @Autowired
    private Customerservice customerservice;
......other code......

}

Again your service implementation class

write

@Service
public class CustomerServiceImpl implements CustomerService {
    @Autowired
    private CustomerDAO customerDAO;
......other code......

.....add transactional methods
}

If you are using hibernate make necessary changes in your applicationcontext xml file(configuration of session factory is needed).

you should autowire sessionFactory set method in your DAO mplementation

please find samle application context :

After adding "@Autowired private CustomerService customerService;" to my controller and removing the "@Resource" the application is taking forever to deploy into tomcat (it's still not done) — dlinx90, Apr 30 '12 at 12:33
@JOHND I tried changing the applicationContext using your updated answer. I am now getting the same error as before. — dlinx90, Apr 30 '12 at 12:59
@JOHND I am using spring 3. I updated your xsi:schemalocation to fit with my version — dlinx90, Apr 30 '12 at 13:21
try removing org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener from wb.xml — JOHND, Apr 30 '12 at 13:23
please share your updated web.xml and applicationcontext.xml and its location and exact name — JOHND, Apr 30 '12 at 13:24
@JOHND I have now updated the files you asked for and added the other config files. Removing the made the deployment go on forever again. Thanks for taking your time to help me out, much appreciated! — dlinx90, Apr 30 '12 at 13:44
first rename your application-context to Spring-servlet.xml(name you have mentioned in your web.xml) — JOHND, Apr 30 '12 at 13:53
why you have created application-context.xml and spring-servlet.xml create only spring-servlet.xml place it under WEB-INF directory — JOHND, Apr 30 '12 at 13:56
let us [continue this discussion in chat](http://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/10702/discussion-between-johnd-and-dlinx90) — JOHND, Apr 30 '12 at 14:01
first note that applicationContext meaning if your applicationcontxt path is projectABC then your applicationContext.xml is /projectABC-servlet.xml — JOHND, Apr 30 '12 at 14:07
@JOHND Yes, I got it working. I hadn't Autowired correctly but as soon as i fixed that it was working :) Many thanks for your help! — dlinx90, May 03 '12 at 08:50

You will have to annotate your service with @Service since you have said I am using annotations for mapping

Do I have to do this for the interface too? (I have annotated the implementation) Looking at this example [link](http://java.dzone.com/articles/adding-crud-capability-spring) they did not annotate the Service Interface – dlinx90 Apr 30 '12 at 11:40
Have you correctly configured the base-package to look for spring beans? – K. Siva Prasad Reddy Apr 30 '12 at 11:43
the base package is configured to look for spring beans in testapp.mis which should be correct – dlinx90 Apr 30 '12 at 11:49
I just ran into exactly the same problem - `org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean ...` - with some Oracle Fusion-generated Java code. The solution was simply to add `@Service` annotation to the offending class. Voila - fixed! Thank you, mprabhat! – FoggyDay Sep 07 '14 at 21:31

Please make sure that your applicationContext.xml file is loaded by specifying it in your web.xml file:

    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

Just another possibility: Spring initializes bean by type not by name if you don't define bean with a name, which is ok if you use it by its type:

Producer:

@Service
public void FooServiceImpl implements FooService{}

Consumer:

@Autowired
private FooService fooService;

or

@Autowired
private void setFooService(FooService fooService) {}

but not ok if you use it by name:

ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");
ctx.getBean("fooService");

It would complain: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'fooService' is defined In this case, assigning name to @Service("fooService") would make it work.

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'customerService' is defined
