I am trying to use autowire="autodetect"..
In eclipse code suggest does not show me autodetect as the option..But it shows other values like byname,bytype,constructor..
whats missing in my application?

A:
It's not offering you autodetect because (according to the documentation), autodetect isn't an option. The valid options are byName, byType amd constructor.
Incidentally, this kind of autowiring is seriously old-fashioned. The annotations @Autowired and @Inject offer much better control over autowiring - see docs.
update: The autodetect option was deprecated as of Spring 3.x, and so it no longer appears in the documentation. It should still work, however (see the javadoc), so I was wrong to originally say that it wasn't an option.

Yes u r right..i checked it and there is no option given...Actually i am going through the Spring in Action third edition book and in that the author explains about this option...And also on this site http://www.mkyong.com/spring/spring-auto-wiring-beans-in-xml/he discussed about this option..was it available in 2.5?

@javanerd: `@Autowired` rocks.
