Hi, It's alright - this is the correct forum. Would you mind to provide the full 'spring2-service' file? I am especially concerned about this: (org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'BEANNAME' defined in class path resource [spring/service2-spring.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exc | eption is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No bean class specified on bean definition) Not sure where does 'BEANNAME' come from.
