You will get the above exception when you have a bean defined in the spring config (applicationContext.xml) file that has a init-method defined, but no corresponding method in the Java bean.
Example: applicationContext.xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
<bean name="employee" class="org.code2care.demo.Employee" init-method="initMethod">
</bean>
</beans>
Employee.java
package org.code2care.demo;
public class Employee {
private int empId;
private String empName;
}
Solution:
To fix this issue, you will need to either remove init-method attribute from the bean Employee, or add the initMethod() method in the Employee class.
package org.code2care.demo;
public class Employee {
private int empId;
private String empName;
public void initMethod() {
//your bean initialization logic
System.out.println("Employee bean init method called...");
}
}
