spring context:component-scan not working - spring

I have two packages holding spring controllers,I am not able to give actual names and packages.
com.test.controller------ABCController
com.test.xyz.controller------xyzController
I defined <context:component-scan base-package="com.test"/> in spring xml file,Spring able to find out controllers from com.test.controller,XYZController never called from spring container.it is saying no handler found.If i move xyzcontroller under package com.test.controller,then it's start working.
Please give any hints,why XYZController not working.
Thanks,
Raj

Use <context:component-scan base-package="com.test.**"/> in your spring config, so it will scan for every annotated class in all subpackages of com.test.

Integrate XML based spring mvc with java config based spring security

I've already done a simple project on spring mvc framework with XML config file. Now I want to add spring security with java config file in that project. Is it possible to integrate. I've almost spend a whole day searching it on google. I've already read documentation but I didn't get any clue. Can anyone provide me good reference for it? Thanks in advance
You have 2 options depending on which is leading, the XML or Java version. Both of them are quite well documented in the Spring Reference Guide.
When using XML you can simply add the #Configuration annotated class as a bean to the XML configuration like any other bean.
<bean class="your.configuration.class.Here" />
You have to have <context:annoation-config /> to have the #Configuration class processed.
However if you already have <context:component-scan /> and the package(s) you are scanning already includes the package that contains the #Configuration class you don't need to do anything as it will be detected like any other #Component.
If you want you have your #Configuration class leading then you can simply import the XML configuration using #ImportResource.
#Configuration
#ImportResource("your-configuration-here.xml")
public class SecurityConfig {}
Either way will work, which depends on which you want to make the leading configuration standard.

base package attribute in context:component-scan tag in spring 3

I am writing simple Hello application using maven in spring 3. I have made a HelloWorldService class by using #Service annotation. In the applicaioncontext.xml file giving different value to base-package attribute of context:component-scan base-package="yyy.xxx". My program is running.
What is the use of base-package in context:component-scan?
What is the purpose of the second tag, <context:component-scan>? Well, you need a bit of background information to understand the purpose of this tag.
Basically,say the #Controller annotation indicates that a particular class located at base-package="yyy.xxx" serves the role of a controller. Another example the #RequestMapping annotated methods to serve a web request.
So, component-scan base-package="yyy.xxx" will tell the spring container via the dispatcher servlet to locate such annotated classes and methods for mapping. But, There are plenty of more detailed explanation if you google it.

duplication in parsing spring context

Nowadays I've got to know spring mvc.
exactly about
context:component-scan
and
mvc:annotation-driven
and
tx:annotation-driven
in spring config xml
Here is my question.
As I know, "context:component-scan" scans all beans.
and As I heard, mvc:annotation-driven, tx:annotation-driven"s also scan all beans.
I think this is not efficient and not reasonable.
Why scan twice, three times.
Is there any way to avoid this duicate parsing?
Any answer will be appreciated.
Thank you.
In my opinion, scanning process are not twice, three times as you think.
They are declare for related beans I think.
Please refer to below summarize and find out how differences.
<context:annotation-config>
Declares support for general annotations such as #Required, #Autowired, #PostConstruct, and so on.
<context:component-scan>
can also do what <context:annotation-config> does but <context:component-scan> also scans packages to find and register beans within the application context.
<mvc:annotation-driven />
Enables the Spring MVC #Controller programming model and
declares explicit support for annotation-driven MVC controllers (i.e. #RequestMapping, #Controller, although support for those is the default behaviour), as well as adding support for declrative validation via #Valid and message body marshalling with #RequestBody/ResponseBody.
<tx:annotation-driven />
You do provide the transaction-manager instace directly within element. annotation-config and component-scan won't.

Grails Spring Security #Secured not working

I have been able to implement the #Secured annotation in one controller of my application. Yet, #Secured('ROLE_ADMIN') will NOT work anywhere else within the project.
It will only specifically work anywhere within my program controller and no where else.
For example, if I use it as so;
#Secured('ROLE_ADMIN')
The IDE gives me;
Multiple markers at this line
- Groovy:class Secured is not an annotation in #Secured
- Groovy:unable to resolve class Secured , unable to find class for
I have even tried checking the Spring Security Config file to check if annotations were set correctly (which seemingly they were).
Any ideas? Please help.
Thanks.
You are probably missing the required import.
At the top of each controller where you need the annotations use the grails import for Secured. Then you can use the annotations for the class or method as needed.
import grails.plugin.springsecurity.annotation.Secured
//import grails.plugins.springsecurity.Secured; - this is in older version,
// grails 2.0 and older
#Secured(['ROLE_ADMIN', 'ROLE_USER', 'ROLE_SUPERVISOR'])
class myClass {
}
Hope this helps.
Try this:
#PreAuthorize("hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" )
And add annotation support in spring configuration:
<!-- Allow configuration annotation (#Annotation-based configuration)-->
<context:annotation-config />
<!-- Enable scan classes -->
<context:component-scan base-package="com.your.package" />

Spring custom annotation - how to make it part of a library?

I've created a custom annotation (in Spring 3.05) that works great. I'd like to take that code and make it part of a library, packaged in a jar file, so I don't have to include my custom annotation code in each web app I write.
I'm unable to get Spring to act on the annotation, however. My library jar is in my web app's classpath and I tried scanning for it in applicationContext.xml:
<context:component-scan base-package="my.annotation.pkg" />
The field annotated with my custom annotation continues to be null.
Ideally I'd like to this to just work with a minimum of fuss and configuration, but so far I haven't had any success.
What part of Spring's wiring am I missing to get my custom annotation recognized when it's part of an external library?
Update
Here is how I "solved" it...just had to read a little more closely. In each context file (i.e. applicationContext.xml, dispatch-servlet.xml) I added the line:
<bean class="my.annotation.CustomInjector" />
...where my CustomInjector implements BeanPostProcessor. I based this on the code at this blog post: Implementing Seam style #Logger injection with Spring.
The author says I needed to do exactly what I did, so bad on me for not reading thoroughly. Why, though, is adding that bean definition required? Maybe Spring annotations are configured similarly under the hood - I just don't get why having the jar file on the classpath isn't enough.
Is your custom annotation annotated with the #Component annotation? From the Spring reference manual:
By default, classes annotated with #Component, #Repository, #Service, #Controller, or a custom annotation that itself is annotated with #Component are the only detected candidate components.
Alternatively, you could add a custom include-filter to the component-scan element in your XML configuration.
