Unassignable injection point type in XML application context

Reports invalid injection point types (properties and constructor arguments).

The following injection point types are allowed: ref, idref, any collection type, inner beans, and so on.

Example:

  public class InjectionValueTypes{
  public List<MyBean> setListBeans() {...}
    public MyBean setMyBean() {...}
    }
  }

  <beans>
    <bean class="MyBean" id="myBean"/>
    <bean class="ErrTypeBean" id="errTypeBean"/>
    <bean class="InjectionValueTypes" id="kt">
      <property name="myBean" ref="errTypeBean"/>
      <!--  reports "Property of 'MyBean' type cannot be injected by 'ErrTypeBean'" -->
      <property name="listBeans">
        <list>
          <idref local="myBean"/>
          <ref bean="myBean"/>
          <ref bean="errTypeBean"/> <!--  reports "Cannot be added in collection of 'MyBean' type" -->
          <bean class="ErrTypeBean"/> <!--  reports "Bean must be of 'MyBean' type" -->
        </list>
      </property>
    </bean>
  </beans>
