[Springframework-developer] Error message with no context

[Barry K. <gr...@me...>]

I just got this exception at startup:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'com.its' defined in URL [file:/C:/cvs.local/its.dev/_build/idea4/server/beanRefFactory.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.FatalBeanException: Could not instantiate class [org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext]; constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Bean definition does not carry a resolved bean class
org.springframework.beans.FatalBeanException: Could not instantiate class [org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext]; constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Bean definition does not carry a resolved bean class
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Bean definition does not carry a resolved bean class

The exception message does not indicate /which/ bean it is refering to.

This error was caused due a parent bean with no class attribute but also no lazy-init=true.
That was easy enough to fix, but it would be nice if the error message
indicated the bean name.

I take it back. I still get the error. Does anybody see what I might be 
doing wrong?

     <bean id="com.its.formatter" lazy-init="true">
         <property name="foo">
             <ref bean="com.its.foo"/>
         </property>
         <property name="bar">
             <ref bean="com.its.bar"/>
         </property>
     </bean>

     <bean id="com.its.fixedWidthFormatter"
         parent="com.its.formatter"
         class="com.its.FixedWidthFormatter">
     </bean>

     <bean id="com.its.variableWidthFormatter"
         parent="com.its.formatter"
         class="com.its.VariableWidthFormatter">
     </bean>

Bean definitions internally have a class property that is either a Class 
object, or a String object representing the classname of the class. The 
exception you got is thrown when somebody calls the getClass method to 
get the Class object, and the property in fact is not holding a Class. 
That means it is either null, or a String. Hard for me to tell in this 
case without more info.

Now one thing I have to ask is why your log is complaining about being 
unable to create the bean "com.its". That's not one of the ones above. 
Which bean is that?
