I'm receiving the an error when trying to autowire a class that extends JdbcDaoSupport. I have my DAO classes and Controller classes separated into 2 different spring contexts. DAO classes are in the root context and the Controller classes are in the servlet context. I've set up the component-scanning so that there is no overlap in beans between the 2 contexts (is that the correct pattern?). All these factors combined with the fact that my DAOs extend JdbcDaoSupport seems to be causing the issue, and I don't understand why. I'm just learning spring so I don't fully understand all the concepts yet.
EDIT: This behavior seems to be caused by the fact that JdbcDaoSupport/DaoSupport implements the InitializingBean interface. Still confused though.
Here is the error I am receiving:
Error creating bean with name 'homeController': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: org.test.dao.CustomerDAO2 org.test.servlet.HomeController.customerDAO; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [org.test.dao.CustomerDAO2] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.
