@Autowired fields causes org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException

Question

When i try to use @Autowired it gives me exceptions

Things I have added to use @Autowired annotation

context:annotation-config /
bean id = "GoAnalyserService" class ="com.dataanalyser.serviceimpl.GoAnalyserServiceImpl"/
context:component-scan base-package="com.dataanalyser.service"/

My spring-dispatcher-servlet

    <bean id = "goAnalyserService" class = "com.dataanalyser.serviceimpl.GoAnalyserServiceImpl"/>
    <bean id = "userDao" class = "com.dataanalyser.daoimpl.UserDaoImpl"/>
</beans>

My controller class

@Controller
public class GoAnalyserControl {

    public GoAnalyserControl()
    {
        System.out.println("------- Inside the controller -------");
    }

    @Autowired
    GoAnalyserService goAnalyserService;

    @RequestMapping(value = "/logInChecker", method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = {"application/json"})
    public @ResponseBody String logInCheckerFn(@RequestBody UserLogData userLogData){
        System.out.println("inside loginChecker()");
        //GoAnalyserService goAnalyserService = new GoAnalyserServiceImpl(); 
        Integer userAuthFlag = goAnalyserService.checkUserAuth(userLogData);
        System.out.println(userAuthFlag.toString());
        return userAuthFlag.toString();
    }
}

My Service class

public interface GoAnalyserService {

    public Integer checkUserAuth(UserLogData userLogData);

}

My Service implementation class

public class GoAnalyserServiceImpl implements GoAnalyserService {

    @Autowired
    UserDao userDao;

    @Override 
    public Integer checkUserAuth(UserLogData userLogData){
        //UserDao userDao = new UserDaoImpl(); 
        if((userDao.getUserCount(userLogData.getUserName())) == 1){
            String dbPass = userDao.getUserPass(userLogData.getUserName());
            if( dbPass.equals(userLogData.getPassword()))
                return 1;
            else
                return 2;
        }else
            return 0;
    }

}

When i try it out without @Autowired annotation, this code works out fine, but when i add @Autowired it gives me

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'goAnalyserControl': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: com.dataanalyser.service.GoAnalyserService com.dataanalyser.controller.GoAnalyserControl.goAnalyserService; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class [com.dataanalyser.serviceimpl.GoAnalyserService] for bean with name 'GoAnalyserService' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-dispatcher-servlet.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.dataanalyser.serviceimpl.GoAnalyserService

and few more like this, I think something is wrong in spring-dispatcher-servlet.xml, I have searched a lot, still cant find the thing wrong. I there any jar file that need to be added to the project ....??

The message says: Cannot find class [com.dataanalyser.serviceimpl.GoAnalyserService]. I guess the class is not in that package. — JB Nizet
If you're using annotations, why aren't you using @Service for your service classes? — GriffeyDog

Put @Repo on GoAnalyserServiceImpl class

May be resolve your error beacuse when you used @Autowired you dont wory about creating object.And use @Autowired must be at top of class @Controller or @Repo or @Service / only @Component. annotation is used to mark the class as the controller in Spring 3.

@Autowired fields causes org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException
