        return msg;
    }
    public void printMsg(){
        System.out.print(msg);
    }

}

Main.java

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public class Main {
    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml");
        hello helloworld = (hello) context.getBean("helloworld");
        helloworld.printMsg();
    }
}

please help me out to solve this error.

I no longer program in Spring but IIRC, id names in Spring follow the Java variable naming conventions and hence ids can't be just numbers (which is what the exception message is trying to convey here). Change id="1" to id="one" and see how it goes.

As i have changed my id from 1 to one error becomes less,but still there is following error.

so how to solve this?

You need to think why a code is written before adding in code. When you write: hello helloworld = (hello) context.getBean("helloworld");, what are you expecting it to return back? How do you think Spring will get back the hello object for you?

Take a few minutes and read the error message carefully. The error basically means "the context XML file which you have loaded doesn't have a bean called 'helloworld'" which is correct. Now the question is how can we fix this error? You already have defined a bean in the XML file but it isn't named "helloworld". How do you think can we do away with this error? Can you think of a way of replacing or modifying the code such that your class Main works?

On a related note, always put your class in package and follow Java coding conventions. hello is not a good name for a class. Also put this and the Main class in some sort of a package like test.

yes i have put bean id as hello world.

Does it still fail; it shouldn't fail. What does your new XML look like?

Thanks ~S.O S~

my problem is fixed.

Thanks for your help.
