Title Body

I've got an abstract class: @Component public abstract class BaseReport { public void export() { ... } And a bunch of classes that extend it, and override the export() method (or not). @Component public final class Report1 extends BaseReport @Component public final class Report2 extends BaseReport Most of my tests autowire concrete classes that extend BaseReport, with no problems: public class Report1Test extends BaseTest { @Autowired Report1 _report; public class Report2Test extends BaseTest { @Autowired Report2 _report; This works fine for autowiring of all classes that extend BaseReport. But I also need to autowire the abstract class itself, BaseReport, to test the export() method. public class BaseReportTest extends BaseTest { @Autowired BaseReport _report; When I try to run it I get the infamous: No unique bean of type BaseReport is defined: expected single matching bean but found 2 [Report1, Report2]. I've tried using @Qualifier but the problem with @Qualifier is that (as I understand it) you use it to tell Spring which class -- that implements an Interface or extends an Abstract class - you wish to use. But that's not my case. I want to use the abstract class itself. I also tried using @Resource, like this: public class BaseReportTest extends BaseTest { @Resource(name = "baseReport") BaseReport _report; Spring tells me there is no bean with this name. :( How can I do this? Cheers.
