NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named "triangle"

Question

I am new to spring. I get

NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: undefined bean named 'triangle'

with a simple java application.

I get the following msg error

    };

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(springConfig);
        Triangle triangle =( Triangle )context.getBean("triangle");
        triangle.draw();

}

Answer 1

You are already viewing the class path with ClassPathXmlApplicationContext, so there is no need to add classpath::*.

Just delete it and see that your problem goes away.

ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("com/springDemo/main/contextBean.xml");

---

You can try using FileSystemXmlApplicationContextwhere you should useclasspath:

ctx = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext("classpath:com/springDemo/main/contextBean.xml");

Answer 2

There are two :in defining class paths. try removing:

"classpath:*/com/springDemo/main/contextBean.xml"

Answer 3

, contextBean.xml Spring. , .. :

context = 
   new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/com/springDemo/main/contextBean.xml" );
