factory-bean not looked for in parent factory

[d1rtym0nk3y]

I have an application factory set as parent for an internal factory for modelglue. in the modelglue config bean i'm referencing a factory bean in the parent factory like this..

<bean id="modelglue.modelGlueConfiguration" class="ModelGlue.gesture.configuration.ModelGlueConfiguration">
  <property name="reload">
    <bean factory-bean="AppConfig" factory-method="getReloadEveryRequest" />
  </property>
<!-- all the other usual properties here -->
</bean>

This generates the error "The Bean Definition 'AppConfig?' does not exist in this factory". True, but it does exist in the parent factory and this worked in CS1.2

If I import the xml file containing the AppConfig? bean then this works fine

Ah yep - I see it.

Should be a call to 'getBeanDefinitionIncludingAncestor' on the BeanDefinitionRegistry?.

Will write up a unit test to confirm.

Mark,

I've patched this in my fork but it doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. Its affecting factory beans and autowiring of beans from a parent factory in a child.

As a work around i'm <import>ing the beans into the child factory but this isn't an ideal solution

Hey - I haven't forgotten about you - just been crazy busy with stuff.

I'll be sure to jump on this asap.

Finally got back to this.

I pushed up a commit that should fix this. I had a quick review of the autowire to code, to see if I could see an issue with autowiring and parent bean factories, and couldn't see anything.

I'll close this ticket for this particular issue, but please open new tickets for any issues you find with parent factories moving forward.
