Trying to set up a project but fail at Autowiring objects through Spring.

package se.hsr.web;

public class TestRunner {

    public static void main(String[         


        

Answer 1

You need this at the top of your test class:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
// ApplicationContext will be loaded from "/applicationContext.xml" and "/applicationContext-test.xml"
// in the root of the classpath
@ContextConfiguration(locations={"/applicationContext.xml", "/applicationContext-test.xml"})
public class MyTest {

I assumed JUnit4; my oversight.

You do need the context configuration tag in an application context somewhere, but I don't see anyplace in your code where you're actually opening an application context file and creating an ApplicationContext. Usually that's done in a set up method for your test. You'll have better luck if you actually create an ApplicationContext somewhere. Try reading the XML from your CLASSPATH in a setup method and see if that helps.
