Can anyone tell me please what's is wrong with this seemingly simple Spring web app scenario. I need it to work like this so I can build a far more complex scenario. I just want to define beans in an xml file and have them Autowired in a rest controller.
web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

TestRestController (in com.mycompany)
package com.mycompany;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
@Controller
@RequestMapping("services/test")
public class TestRestController {
@Autowired
private String myString;
@RequestMapping(value = "/testService", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public Integer testSendMessage(HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
System.out.println("myString: " + myString);
return 0;
}
}
For the above example I get this error
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private java.lang.String com.mycompany.TestRestController.myString; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [java.lang.String] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)}
