factory. BeanCreationException: Error creating a bean with name X" error if it is not able to instantiate a particular Spring bean. There could be numerous reasons why Spring could not able to create a bean with name X, but clue always lies on the detailed stack trace.
By far, the most common cause of the BeanCreationException is Spring trying to inject a bean that doesn't exist in the context. For example, BeanA is trying to inject BeanB: @Component public class BeanA { @Autowired private BeanB dependency; ... }
0 Comments. When Autowiring Spring Beans, a common exception is a. BeanCreationException. . This means that Spring found a bean to create, but was unable to fulfill the dependencies needed to create this this Spring bean.
The best solution is to properly isolate beans. The DispatcherServlet is responsible for routing and handling requests so all related beans should go into its context. The ContextLoaderListener , which loads the root context, should initialize any beans the rest of your application needs: services, repositories, etc.
