Spring JUnit not loading whole applicationContext from XML

I have created a JUnit test in spring with next code:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(locations = {
"classpath:*/WEB-INF/demo-servlet.xml"})
public class CrudTestJUnit extends AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests {
#Autowired
protected ShoppingCartDao shoppingCartDao;
#Autowired
private ApplicationContext context;
#Before
public void setUp(){
}
#Test
public void testSomething() {
System.out.println("Evo beanvoa:" + Arrays.toString(context.getBeanDefinitionNames()));
Assert.assertTrue(false);
}
}
In demo-servlet.xml i defined bean:
<bean id="shoppingCartDao" class="com.it355.hibernatecrud.dao.impl.ShoppingCartDaoImpl"></bean>
When i run JUnit test i get this error:
Error creating bean with name 'CrudTestJUnit': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: protected com.it355.hibernatecrud.dao.ShoppingCartDao CrudTestJUnit.shoppingCartDao; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [com.it355.hibernatecrud.dao.ShoppingCartDao] found for dependency:
When i delete shopping cart i get this from getBeanDefinitionNames():

Am i wrong in calling configuration file or some other thing? Is there someone who had the same issue.
Also in my configuration file i have component scan configured and my application works and loads beans without any problem but JUnit is making a problem.

It seems that your XML configuration file can't be found or loaded properly, thus you aren't able to do the injections properly.
I suggest just use classpath, if your XML configuration file is within your CLASSPATH there's no need to mention WEB-INF etc'. Like this:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration("classpath:demo-servlet.xml")
public class CrudTestJUnit extends AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests {
}

In the end i found out that Configuration from WEB-INF must be loaded like this:
#ContextConfiguration(locations = { "file:src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/demo-servlet.xml"})

Spring mvc + hibernate/jpa -> entity manager is not injected despite #PersistenceContext

I have a problem with EntityManager. When I try to use EntityManager in a dao class, I got null pointer exception. So EntityManager is not injected despite #PersistenceContext annotation.
My dao:
package com.fido.pia.dao;
import com.fido.pia.model.User;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
#Repository
public class UserDao {
#PersistenceContext
protected EntityManager entityManager;
public User save(User row) {
if(row.isNew()) {
entityManager.persist(row);
return row;
} else {
return entityManager.merge(row);
}
}
}

Any ideas what is wrong here?

In entityManagerFactory bean definition, try this :
<property name="packagesToScan" value="com.fido.pia.*" />
This should work

I finally solve it. The problem was that I use common dependency injection to inject my dao class in controller. When I change it to DI with autowired (added #autowired to controller constructor), entity manager in dao is initialized.
So now it works, but I'm still curious about why is that change so important. I've asked new question about it.

You need to enable persistence annotations:
<context:annotation-config/>
or
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.PersistenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor"/>

Spring Hibernate session issue

Hi I'm having a problem setting up hibernate on spring. I was able to make it work but it creates a lot of session on the database. From What i have notice it creates session for every bean on my spring.xml. Since I have 6 beans declared I also have 6 session on the database on application start Here is my code

<bean id="SWService" class="com.SWServiceImpl">

</bean>

You need to use transactionManager to manage session for you.
Add the following lines of code to your spring.xml
....
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />
<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="yourSessionFactory" />
</bean>
....
Then you have to annotate your service impl classes #Transactional("transactionManager") to make transactionManager managing transactions through session
#Transactional("transactionManager")
public class PServiceImpl implements PServiceImpl{
....
Just an advice you can replace XML config for the DI by annotations to make it easy
in spring.xml, remove all your beans declarations (xxservice and xxxdao) and replace them by: <context:component-scan base-package="put here the package where your services and daos are lacated" />
your service must look like this :
#Service
#Transactional("transactionManager")
public class XXXServiceImpl implements XXXService{
#Autowired
private XXXDAO xxxDAO;
...
}
And your dao must look like :
#Repository
public class XXXDAOImpl implements XXXDAO {
#Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
...
}
One more thing, add the tx schema in your file config header, your spring.xml should look like this :
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

Unable autowire SessionFactory[null] into #Transactional bean

I have faced very strange issue with autowiring Hibernate SessionFactory bean into my Service.
I'm able to find SessionFactory bean in Spring Context object. So no issues with creating such bean.
But I can not autowire this bean into my service when it is marked with #Transactional annotation. Factory field is null.
Once I remove this annotation - everything works good.
Service Class:
#Service
#Transactional
public class ExampleRunner implements Runnable{
#Autowired
SessionFactory sessionFactory;
...
}
applicationContext.xml:

proxy-target-class="true" />
<bean id="txManager"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager">

</bean>
</beans>
Usage:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runnable runner = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml").getBean(ExampleRunner.class);
runner.run();
}
Seems like when I make #Transactional as class level annotation Spring creates CGLib proxy bean where SessionFactory field is null.
But when I use #Transational as method level annotation everything works good.
So I just want to understand such behavior.
What have I missed from Spring documentation?
I use Spring 4.1.4.RELEASE.

I got your error actually why you getting problem here because you not allowing container to auto-wired bean for you as you using java Main method it will not auto-wired bean that's why you getting error.

Spring MVC controller's constructor

I am trying to put some initialization methods in controller's default constructor, but the problem that it never called. When I put an #Autowired annotation, the error is throuwn - Autowired annotation requires at least on argument.
What the best practice for putting some initialization code in one place except of putting it in each controller's method?
Thank you

a) Controllers are just plain Spring Beans, so that all aspects of the Spring Bean lifecycle apply.
I.e. you can autowire properties or constructor parameters (with annotation support), you can initialize beans using the InitializingBean interface or a #PostConstruct method etc.
If none of this works, then there's something wrong with your setup and you'll have to post your web context xml and / or a stack trace.
b) If you need a per-request setup, then use the #InitBinder mechanism

By default life cycle of bean in spring is managed by Spring container .If you want to initialized your bean with some of your code you can do it with #postconstruct method.
You have to create listener for your bean and whenever your bean is initialized this two method will invoke #postconstruct and #predestroy so you have to use this method for doing things
