Java Spring with Hibernate Data-Driven Application Design Add a service for Contact objects

Add a service for Contact objects, task 2 not passing

As far as I can tell, I have everything I need to include an AutoWired ContactDao object so that I can call and return its findById(Long id) method from within my service's method of the same name. What am I missing?

I keep getting "Could not find an autowired ContactDao" as my error message.

com/teamtreehouse/contactmgr/service/ContactService.java
package com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.service;

import com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.model.Contact;

public interface ContactService {
  Contact findById(Long id);
}
com/teamtreehouse/contactmgr/service/ContactServiceImpl.java
package com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.service;

import com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.dao.ContactDao;
import com.teamtreehouse.contactmgr.model.Contact;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service
public class ContactServiceImpl implements ContactService {

  @AutoWired
  private ContactDao contactDao;

  @Override
  public Contact findById(Long id) {
    return contactDao.findById(id);
  }

}

It was the capitalized W in my @AutoWired annotation... it should be @Autowired LOL

Anyone else think this is a poor naming choice? I know this has hit me in the past, but luckily IntelliJ catches it for me, unlike these code challenges :P
