Controller spring bean share property and reference bean causes javax.servlet.UnavailableException

Question

I have two beans containing the same property name and reference bean, could this be causing my error?:

javax.servlet.UnavailableException: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping#0': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot map handler x to URL path /path There is already handler of type [class myclass] mapped.

Code:

<bean name="bean1"
    class="myclass1">
    <property name="property">
        <ref bean="ref" />
    </property>
</bean>



<bean name="bean2"
    class="myclass2">
    <property name="property">
        <ref bean="ref" />
    </property>
</bean>

I can't seem to trace my error anywhere else. Please comment if you need more information.

Edit: The console prints the error is Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot map handler

I also have another exception: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping#0': Initialization of bean failed

The spring configuration you have posted is unlikely to cause any problems. Do you have any controllers in your application that handle `/path`? — geoand, May 05 '14 at 21:32

@geoand there is only one controller handling /path, which is why I am confused why it says it is already handled? — Jordan.J.D, May 05 '14 at 22:14
@Prasad I already looked at that and do not have that problem. — Jordan.J.D, May 05 '14 at 22:15
@geoand it worked the first time I tried it but the error has returned. — Jordan.J.D, May 06 '14 at 15:56

I ended up removing all of:

<bean name="bean2"
    class="myclass2">
    <property name="property">
        <ref bean="ref" />
    </property>
</bean>

And my controller started mapping correctly.
