Fixing BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException on Spring proxy cast on a non-singleton bean?

Question

I\'m having an issue with pulling a Spring bean from an application context.

When I try;

InnerThread instance = (InnerThread) SpringContextFactory.g         


        

Answer 1

There was this problem until I just restart Idea and rebuilt the Maven project.

Answer 2

Another way to handle this problem would be to implement an interface and request the interface from spring, the proxy would fully implement the interface, and the cast shouldn't have a problem.

Answer 3

Annotate your @Configuration class with

@EnableAspectJAutoProxy(proxyTargetClass = true) 

You also have to add the following dependency:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>
<version>1.7.2</version>
</dependency>
