I'm also hitting the same error.

As stated in Spring documentation, the getter method is not required for 
spring, and I only set this property.
I did not hit the NotWritablePropertyException with only 1 DAO, ie. if I only 
have MarksDAO in ExamImpl, I do not have such an exception.

[ExamImpl.java]

private MarksDAO marksDAO;
private SADAO saDAO;

  public void setMarksDAO(MarksDAO marksDAO) {
    this.marksDAO = marksDAO;
  }

  public void setSADAO(SADAO saDAO) {
    this.saDAO = saDAO;
  }

....

[applicationContext.xml]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD 
BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

<beans>
  <bean id="exam" class="school.eng.electronics.business.ExamImpl">
    <property name="marksDAO"><ref bean="marksDAO"/></property>
    <property name="saDAO"><ref bean="saDAO"/></property>
  </bean>

  <bean id="marksDAO" class="school.eng.electronics.dao.TestMarksDAO"/>
  <bean id="saDAO" class="school.eng.electronics.dao.TestSADAO"/>

</beans>

[MarksDAO.java]
public interface MarksDAO {
...
}

[TestMarksDAO.java]
public class TestMarksDAO implements MarksDAO {
...
}

As mentioned above, as spring does not require a getter method and I do not 
have a getter method, why do I have such an exception thrown when I try to 
deploy my war file??

Thank you.
