Could not resolve matching constructor but constructor seem fine - spring

Question

We currently have an application that uses a class called JmsComponentMessageDispatcher to look after putting messages on to queues here is the constructor.
public JmsComponentMessageDispatcher(ConnectionFactory cf, FileDataAccess access,
List<Destination> destinations)
{
if (cf == null)
throw new NullPointerException();
if (access == null)
throw new NullPointerException();
if (destinations == null)
throw new NullPointerException();
m_cf = cf;
m_access = access;
m_destinations = Collections.unmodifiableList(destinations);
}
public JmsComponentMessageDispatcher(ConnectionFactory cf, FileDataAccess access, Destination destination)
{
this(cf, access, Collections.singletonList(destination));
}
public JmsComponentMessageDispatcher(ConnectionFactory cf, FileDataAccess access)
{
this(cf, access, Collections.<Destination>emptyList());
}
Normally this would be setup in the application context
<bean id="componentMessageDispatcher" abstract="true"
class="com.core.jms.JmsComponentMessageDispatcher" scope="prototype"
c:_0-ref="jmsCF"
c:_1-ref="fileDataAccess"/>
We are porting our application to weblogic and for some reason weblogic intermittently loads the wrong concrete class for the connection factory. See here: A JMS XA connection factory injected using spring jee-jndi lookup behaves differently than #Resource injection on Weblogic 12c
To try and work round this issue I plan to inject the connection factory using #Resource.
I created a new class WeblogicJmsComponentMessageDispatcher that extends JmsComponentMessageDispatcher. It simply takes in a bean as parameter this bean has the connection factory loaded using #Resource.
public class WeblogicJmsComponentMessageDispatcher extends
JmsComponentMessageDispatcher
{
public WeblogicJmsComponentMessageDispatcher(WeblogicConnectionFactoryLocal wcf, FileDataAccess access)
{
super(wcf.getConnectionFactory(), access, Collections.<Destination>emptyList());
}
}
bean:
#Stateless(name="WeblogicConnectionFactoryBean")
#Local(WeblogicConnectionFactoryLocal.class)
public class WeblogicConnectionFactoryBean implements WeblogicConnectionFactoryLocal{
#Resource(mappedName="jms/mf_ConnectionFactory")
private ConnectionFactory m_cf;
public ConnectionFactory getConnectionFactory()
{
return m_cf;
}
Application Context:
<beans profile="weblogic">
<bean id="componentMessageDispatcher" class="com.core.jms.WeblogicJmsComponentMessageDispatcher">
<constructor-arg name="wcf" ref="wlCF"/>
<constructor-arg name="access" ref="fileDataAccess"/>
</bean>
<jee:local-slsb id="wlCF" jndi-name="java:module/WeblogicConnectionFactoryBean!com.core.jms.WeblogicConnectionFactoryLocal"
business-interface="com.core.jms.WeblogicConnectionFactoryLocal"/>
If I step through it in debug, I can see the constructors getting hit and presenting the correct values however I'm getting the Could not resolve matching constructor error.

I’ve mocked this up on a small test application and it works perfectly. So I must have done something incorrectly but for the life of me I can't see what it is.
Any help gratefully received.

Answer 1

The error says "hint: specify index/type/name arguments for simple parameters to avoid type ambiguities"
Did you try that? Maybe it's getting confused between your List<Destination> and Destination constructors.
It would be a matter of adding type="..." to your <constructor-arg ...> tag
See http://www.mkyong.com/spring/constructor-injection-type-ambiguities-in-spring/
