“Failed to load ApplicationContext” using @ContextConfiguration(“/applicationContext.xml”) with Maven structure

votes

I'm trying to run a JUnit Test using Spring but the console shows: Failed to load ApplicationContext error. I'm using the Maven structure, and I have the applicationContext.xml file in src/main/resources folder. I have read all the questions related and tried the solutions, but no success.

Here is the folder structure.

Here is the code:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration("/applicationContext.xml")
public class ConsultarProveedorPorLlave {

@Resource
private SessionFactory fabricaSesionPostgreSQL;

@Test
public void test()
{
    Session sesion = fabricaSesionPostgreSQL.openSession();
    Proveedor proveedor = (Proveedor) sesion.get(Proveedor.class, 1);
    assertNotNull("El proveedor no existe", proveedor);
    System.out.println("Proveedor: " + proveedor.getProveedor() + " - " + proveedor.getNombre() + " - " + proveedor.getEstado());
    sesion.close();
}

Here is the error trace:

Add your applicationContext.xml to question. Clearly the problem is your DataSource bean: Cannot convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [javax.sql.DataSource] – Ali Dehghani
Give people your applicationContext.xml file – VinhNT
I added the applicationContext.xml file. – J. Álvarez
Yeah, and you got your answer :) – VinhNT

Edit: based on your provided applicationContext.xml

<property name="dataSource" value="fuenteDatosPostgreSQL" />

needs to be

<property name="dataSource" ref="fuenteDatosPostgreSQL" />.

That way it looks for the object referenced by "fuenteDatosPostgreSQL" rather than the simply the String "fuenteDatosPostgreSQL".

The exception clearly shows

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [javax.sql.DataSource] for property 'dataSource':

When you reference bean you need to use ref instead you used value.

<bean id="fabricaSesionPostgreSQL"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="configLocation" value="classpath:hibernate_postgresql.cfg.xml" />
    <property name="dataSource" value="fuenteDatosPostgreSQL" />
</bean>

replace the line with

<property name="dataSource" ref="fuenteDatosPostgreSQL" />

You can put your configuration into src/main/resourcesr and try use try @ContextConfiguration("classpath:applicationContext.xml") in your unit test.
