[FIXED] Bean creation failed while doing autowiring

Issue

I am doing a simple test on autowiring in spring bean but autowiring do not run if interface is passed as my constructor argument. Here is the code for bean

package profile;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
@Component
public class User 
{
    private CreateUser user;

    @Autowired
    public User(CreateUser user)
    {
        this.user = user;
    }

    public void addUser(String name, String contact)
    {
        System.out.println("Adding "+name+" and "+contact+".....");
    }

    public void showUser()
    {
        System.out.println("Added Successfully");
    }
}

My automatic config class

package profile;


import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
@ComponentScan
public class UserConfig {


}

and my main class

package profile;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext;

public class UserMain {

    public static void main(String ar[])
    {
        AnnotationConfigApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(UserConfig.class);
        User users = context.getBean(User.class);
        users.addUser("test", "122466");
        users.showUser();
        context.close();
    }
}

I am getting the following error:

BUILD FAILED (total time: 1 second)

But if I use default constructor the program works fine like this:

package profile;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Component
public class User 
{
    private CreateUser user;

    @Autowired
    public User()
    {

    }

    public void addUser(String name, String contact)
    {
        System.out.println("Adding "+name+" and "+contact+".....");
    }

    public void showUser()
    {
        System.out.println("Added Successfully");
    }
}

The code runs perfectly. Here is the output:

run:

please help....

Solution

In your Configuration class write below code:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan
public class UserConfig {

  //If their is default constructor in CreateUser then
  @Bean
  public CreateUser createUserBeanCreate(){
    return new CreateUser();
  }
}

Another option would be to use @Bean above your CreateUser class:

@Bean
public class CreateUser{

}

If CreatweUser is an interface (which is your case), then you need an implementation of CreateUser and use @Bean annotation above that class, so that Spirng IOC container can autowire CreateUser implementation whenever you use autowire above CreateUser. Hope this helps.
