I am doing spring + hibernate application. When I run the application on tomcat server I am getting some exceptions.

Answer 1

Copied from the stacktrace:

BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [com.gestEtu.project.model.dao.CompteDAOHib]: No default constructor found; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: com.gestEtu.project.model.dao.CompteDAOHib.<init>()

By default, Spring will try to instantiate beans by calling a default (no-arg) constructor. The problem in your case is that the implementation of the CompteDAOHib has a constructor with a SessionFactory argument. By adding the @Autowired annotation to a constructor, Spring will attempt to find a bean of matching type, SessionFactory in your case, and provide it as a constructor argument, e.g.

@Autowired
public CompteDAOHib(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
    // ...
}

Answer 2

I have been getting similar error, and just want to share with you. maybe it will help someone.

If you want to use EntityManagerFactory to get an EntityManager, make sure that you will use:

<persistence-unit name="name" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">

and not:

<persistence-unit name="name" transaction-type="JPA">

in persistance.xml

clean and rebuild project, it should help.

Answer 3

Exception clearly indicates the problem.

CompteDAOHib: No default constructor found

For spring to instantiate your bean, you need to provide a empty constructor for your class CompteDAOHib.

Ollieollis

i was mentioned the constructor before – Heidyheifer

Answer 4

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'MyController'

Make sure that you have added ojdbc14.jar into your library.

For oracle 11g, usie ojdbc6.jar.

Answer 5

If nothing happens even if you added all the annotation needed, try to add this dependency to your pom.xml, I just faced the same problem and resolved it by adding this one here:

<dependency>
   <groupId>commons-configuration</groupId>
   <artifactId>commons-configuration</artifactId>
   <version>1.9</version>
</dependency>

Answer 6

Change from @Controller to @Service to CompteController and add @Service annotation to CompteDAOHib. Let me know if you still face this issue.

Behind

I applied your annotations but i got this exceptions org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'compteController': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private com.gestEtu.project.model.service.CompteService com.gestEtu.project.controller.CompteController.compteServ; nested exception is – Heidyheifer

what expections you got now. – Behind

Please send compteService code and are you working on eclispe with tomcat in combination of maven.then do maven update project which you get when u right click on the project. – Behind

yes i'm working with tomcat and maven in eclipse Helios – Heidyheifer

can you add your compteService class here so that i can check it.please do the procedure as mentioned. – Behind

i was editing my poste and adding CompteService look at my first post – Heidyheifer

add this <context:annotation-config /> instead of annotation driven.simply use this auto wire @Resource private SessionFactory sessionFactory; rather than extendingn hiberantedaosupport – Behind

New exception Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private com.gestEtu.project.model.dao.CompteDAO com.gestEtu.project.model.mai 17, 2014 10:01:20 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log – Heidyheifer

There is still some code missing wish you had some git so that i can help u running ur code. – Behind

Answer 7

Just as a note to anybody that might run into this issue, another possible cause of this issue is Eclipse's "Built Automatically" feature.

If you have it enabled, the Build Automatically option will be greyed out with a tick. You can check under the Project tab, there will be a Build Automatically option.

Others on my team were also experiencing the same issue with Eclipse's "Built Automatically" feature that interfered with other aspects of the project & have reported it as being faulty.

We knew there was nothing wrong with the project as it is a working build deployed on our servers.

Hope this helps!

Answer 8

I was facing this same issue today Error: Required a bean of type 'com......ProductService' that could not be found . i was missing @Service annotation on Service class, after adding that i was able to bring the server up and hit the api.

Invalidate cache and restart typically solves most beanNotFound exceptions.
