org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name ...... Initialization of bean failed

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name

Problem :

We come across this common exception when using spring and the properties file is not updated for the values defined in the common view interceptor file.

Exception I Encountered Was :

###################################################################################################################

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: 
Error creating bean with name 
'org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping#0': 
Initialization of bean failed; 
nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: 
Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.MappedInterceptor#1': 
Cannot create inner bean 
'CommonViewInterceptor' of type [com.udp.interceptor.CommonViewInterceptor]while setting constructor argument; 
nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: 
Error creating bean with name 'CommonViewInterceptor#1':
Injection of autowired dependencies failed; 
nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: 
Could not autowire field: private java.lang.String com.udp.interceptor.CommonViewInterceptor.UrlSimActivation;
nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder 'url.sim.activation'

Solution :

This exception was caused when i did not add "url.sim.activation" property to the properties file. Since the Common view interceptor could not find a definite value for "url.sim.activation" in properties i was getting this exception.

Example :

- Just add a property value called "url.sim.activation" and give a relevant URL and restart the server
