It's the first line:

It looks like you testcase has a property: personDAO and has dep checking enabled. Spring can't set this property and thus complains. make sure you have a setter for this property in your testcase and you have a valid ref to set this.

where is the line to set the dao(calling your setter)?

floater wrote:
hmm, I didn't notice you are using spring's testcase class. change your dao declaration to protected, not using private.

floater wrote:
You testcase extends Matt's testcase, which extends Spring's testcase. This means that your dao class in your testcase will be injected by Spring(unless you want to manually inject it). Spring's super class will look for all protected members and inject them from app context. It doesn't check private members. So in you testcase, you should declare dao as protected, rather than private.
