Autowired bean injection in Spring controller

Question

Not able to figure out, what's wrong. I keep getting the same error again and again. I have searched Google but failed to solve this issue. I was looking the same post over here try to solve but still the same.

JobsDAOImp.java

public class JobsDAOImp implements JobsDAO {

    @Autowired 
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
        ..        
}

JobService.java

public interface JobsService {
       ....
}

JobServiceImp.java

@Service
@Transactional(readOnly=true)
public class JobsServiceImp implements JobsService {

    @Autowired private JobsDAOImp jobsDAOImp;
        ..
}

JobsController.java

@Controller
@RequestMapping(value="/")
public class JobsController {

    @Autowired
    private JobsService jobsService;
            ...
}

Answer 1

Use the interface instead of the implementation in the JobsController since spring generates a java proxy for the JobServiceImpl bean and java Proxies are based on interfaces.

 @Autowired
 private JobsService jobsService;
