Exception thrown when using @Service in Kotlin

Question

I'm writing an SSM project in Kotlin and this happens as long as I try to annotate a class (a service implementation) with @Service.

1. Tried to code this implementation class in Java instead and it worked all fine.
2. Tried to keep only the necessary overriding methods.
3. open is already added.
4. context:component-scan is configured.

Additional info:

Relative structures

- src
  - kotlin
      - service
        An interface
        - impl
          -> The implementation <-

spring-service.xml

<context:component-scan base-package="service" />

Tried to keep only the necessary methods

@Service
open class SeckillServiceImpl : SeckillService {
    override fun getAll(): List<Seckill> {
        TODO("not implemented") //To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
    }

    override fun getById(seckillId: Long): Seckill? {
        TODO("not implemented") //To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
    }

    override fun exportSeckillUrl(seckillId: Long): SeckillUrlExposer {
        TODO("not implemented") //To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
    }

    override fun doSeckill(seckillId: Long, userPhone: Long, md5: String?): SeckillExecutionResult {
        TODO("not implemented") //To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
    }
}

What's wrong and what should I do? Thanks!

Answer 1

Kotlin's reflection facilities needed by Spring are shipped in a separate JAR. Try adding it into your build:

build.gradle:

compile 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect:1.1.51'

pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlin</groupId>
    <artifactId>kotlin-reflect</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.51</version>
</dependency>
