I'm trying to run a JUnit Test using Spring but the console shows: Failed to load ApplicationContext error. I'm using the Maven structure, and I have the applicationContext.xml file in src/main/resources folder. I have read all the questions related and tried the solutions, but no success.

Here is the folder structure.

Here is the code:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration("/applicationContext.xml")
public class ConsultarProveedorPorLlave {

@Resource
private SessionFactory fabricaSesionPostgreSQL;

@Test
public void test()
{
    Session sesion = fabricaSesionPostgreSQL.openSession();
    Proveedor proveedor = (Proveedor) sesion.get(Proveedor.class, 1);
    assertNotNull("El proveedor no existe", proveedor);
    System.out.println("Proveedor: " + proveedor.getProveedor() + " - " + proveedor.getNombre() + " - " + proveedor.getEstado());
    sesion.close();
}

Here is the error trace:

  • Add your applicationContext.xml to question. Clearly the problem is your DataSource bean: Cannot convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [javax.sql.DataSource] Commented Mar 29, 2016 at 15:13
  • Give people your applicationContext.xml file Commented Mar 29, 2016 at 15:27
  • I added the applicationContext.xml file. Commented Mar 29, 2016 at 15:34
  • Yeah, and you got your answer :) Commented Mar 29, 2016 at 16:05

Edit: based on your provided applicationContext.xml

<property name="dataSource" value="fuenteDatosPostgreSQL" />

needs to be

<property name="dataSource" ref="fuenteDatosPostgreSQL" />.

That way it looks for the object referenced by "fuenteDatosPostgreSQL" rather than the simply the String "fuenteDatosPostgreSQL".

I'll look into it.
That was the problem. Thank you very much.

The exception clearly shows

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [javax.sql.DataSource] for property 'dataSource':

When you reference bean you need to use ref instead you used value.

<bean id="fabricaSesionPostgreSQL"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="configLocation" value="classpath:hibernate_postgresql.cfg.xml" />
    <property name="dataSource" value="fuenteDatosPostgreSQL" />
</bean>

replace the line with

<property name="dataSource" ref="fuenteDatosPostgreSQL" />

You can put your configuration into src/main/resourcesr and try use try @ContextConfiguration("classpath:applicationContext.xml") in your unit test.
