Why doesn't #Qualifier work with #Autowired? - spring

Question

I have a class like:
#Service
#Qualifier("VeoExecutionService")
public class VeoExecutionService implements ExecutionService {
}
and I use it in a test:
#Autowired
#Qualifier("VeoExecutionService")
private VeoExecutionService veoService;
But when running I get:
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private com.trizic.service.veo.VeoExecutionService com.trizic.service.veo.VeoServiceImportAccountsTest.veoService; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [com.trizic.service.veo.VeoExecutionService] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.

Answer 1

I think you should use something like:
#Service("VeoExecutionService")
public class VeoExecutionService implements ExecutionService {
and then, where you inject your service:
#Autowired
#Qualifier("VeoExecutionService")
VeoExecutionService veoExecutionService;
Remember to put <context:annotation-config /> in your xml confing or #AnnotationDrivenConfig in java config.
Note that <context:component-scan /> (#ComponentScan in java config) also activates <context:annotation-config />

Answer 2

I agree gipinani about the first part
#Service("VeoExecutionService")
public class VeoExecutionService implements ExecutionService {
But I think the injection part has to be written this way:
#Autowired
#Qualifier("VeoExecutionService")
Private ExecutionService veoExecutionService;
in order to inject VeoExecutionService implementation of ExecutionService

Answer 3

Try this:
#Autowired
#Qualifier("veoExecutionService")
private VeoExecutionService veoService;
"veoExecutionService" (with lower case v)
