[coldspring-dev] Setter being called when passing bean as constructor-arg?

[Chris Scott]

AHHH. You have a setter, but it's private! I think ColdSpring is attempting to pick up that setter method and autowire your sessionManager, but of course, that method is private! Problem there is, well, we need to make sure we only pick up public methods, but ColdSpring matched a setter method with a bean it believes it can resolve a dependency for. Problem is, your setter is private, and ColdSpring wanted so very very hard to help you! OK, I'll add that to Jira...

I could probably live with this but it still seemed worth bringing up becuase I'm explictily telling CS to pass it as an argument to the constructor and not call the setter method (constructor-arg instead of property).

Thanks. I know this is a dumb question, but are you sure that your setSessionManager() method is defined this service?  Check the spelling etc.? You might try adding something like this in your init() just to see if CS is passing in the SessionManager: <cfiif NOT StructKeyExists(arguments, "sessionManager")>     <cfthrow type="appplication" message="I didn't get the session manager from CS!"/> </cfif> I always try to prefer setter injection versus constructor-arg injection if at all possible.  I only use constructor-arg inject the object absolutely requires another object to init and may be consumed  by another object on its' init.  You can always use property injection and the have CS "setup" the service after all the dependencies have been wired together.  Something like this: <bean id="someService"     class="someApp.model.sys.some.someService"     init-method="setup">     <property name="someDao"><ref bean="someDao"/></property>     <property name="someGateway"><ref bean="someGateway"/></property>     <property name="udfs"><ref bean="udfs"/></property> </bean> CS will call the init(), wire all the dependencies, then call all of the init-methods (which in this case is setup()).
