getting org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException even though the imported workflowService is from correct package

[former_member635212]

Hi Experts,

We have a requirement where we need to create a workflow based on few values we receive from a web service call. In my Service class I wrote below piece of code to create the work flow from workflow template after referring a trail from hybris wiki.

if(productModel.getChannelIndicator().getCode().equalsIgnoreCase("OFFLINE")); {

        // start the dropcode workflow for the product
         final WorkflowTemplateModel workflowTemplate = this.workflowTemplateService
             .getWorkflowTemplateForCode("ProductDropCodeEnableorDisableWorkFlow");

      final WorkflowModel workflow = workflowService.createWorkflow(workflowTemplate, productModel, userService.getAdminUser());
          modelService.save(workflow);
          
     for (final WorkflowActionModel action : workflow.getActions())
     {
         modelService.save(action);
     }

     this.workflowProcessingService.startWorkflow(workflow);
    }

}

The build is successful in my local. But when I started my hybris server I am getting below exception:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'defaultProductDropCodeWebService': Injection of resource dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException: Bean named 'workflowService' is expected to be of type 'de.hybris.platform.workflow.WorkflowService' but was actually of type 'de.hybris.platform.workflow.services.impl.WorkflowServiceImpl'

In my service class I have added WorkflowService as a dependency along with other required services as shown below:

 @Resource
 private WorkflowService workflowService;
 @Resource
 private WorkflowTemplateService workflowTemplateService;
 @Resource
 private WorkflowProcessingService workflowProcessingService;
 @Resource
 private ModelService modelService;
 @Resource
 private UserService userService;

I have declared my Service Class in core-spring.xml as shown below:

 <bean id="defaultProductDropCodeWebService"
     class="com.bobs.furniture.core.webservice.impl.DefaultProductDropCodeWebService">
 </bean>

in my service class I have below import statement for WorkflowService:

import de.hybris.platform.workflow.WorkflowService;

Finally my build is failing even though I setup proper dependencies with proper imports.

Can you please check and suggest why this issue is coming. Your prompt reply on this would be truly appreciated.

Are you injecting anything into defaultProductDropCodeWebService in the spring.xml? If yes, please post here the complete definition of bean, defaultProductDropCodeWebService.
