Question

i am trying to insert data into a database using jdbc template . i am using database frr in mysql database in that table issues below is my code that i have wrote but i am getting below error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource cannot be cast to sql.sql.App
    at sql.sql.App.main(App.java:25)

App.java File:

package sql.sql;

import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;

import java.util.List;

import javax.sql.DataSource;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate;


public class App 
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        ApplicationContext context = 
                new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("web.xml");
        App obj = (App) context.getBean("dataSource");
         JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplateObject = new JdbcTemplate();
        String SQL = "insert into issues(issue,status,comment) values (?, ?, ?)";
        jdbcTemplateObject.update( SQL, new Object[]{"Zara", "test", "123"} );
        System.out.println( "Hello World!" );
    }
}

What makes you think a DriverManagerDataSource is an instance of App? Even if you fixed that your code will fail with the JdbcTemplate as you aren't putting the DataSource into it, hence it will fail. I strongly suggest a tutorial or 2 to understand how to use those classes. — M. Deinum

Do you think DriverManagerDataSource extends your App class? I strongly suggest a read on class inheritance and how that works... You seem to be missing basic understanding of that. — M. Deinum

There are multiple things wrong with your code.

First a DriverManagerDataSource is a DataSource NOT an instance of your App class. (I suggest a little googling on class inheritance).

DataSource ds = context.getBean("dataSource", DataSource.class);

Second if that is fixed your code would fail on either constructing the JdbcTemplate or on executing the query, because a JdbcTemplate needs a DataSource it cannot operate on thin air.

JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplateObject = new JdbcTemplate(ds);

I do suggest however you add the JdbcTemplate to your configuration and retrieve that instead of the DataSource.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">

    <bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
       <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
       <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/frr"/>
       <property name="username" value="root"/>
       <property name="password" value=""/>
    </bean>

    <bean id="jdbcTemplate" class="org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
    </bean>

</beans>

Then change your main code to the following.

public class App {

    public static void main( String[] args ) {

        ApplicationContext context =  new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("web.xml");
        JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplateObject = context.getBean(JdbcTemplate.class);
        String SQL = "insert into issues(issue,status,comment) values (?, ?, ?)";
        jdbcTemplateObject.update( SQL, new Object[]{"Zara", "test", "123"} );
        System.out.println( "Hello World!" );
    }
}

Note: I also doubt that your xml is actually working (or that the pom is the pom you are using). The xml contained a reference to the 3.0 xsd of beans whereas your pom uses a 2.5 version of Spring.

Modify your code as below

public class App 
    {
        public static void main( String[] args )
        {
            ApplicationContext context = 
                    new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("web.xml");
            DataSource obj = (DataSource) context.getBean("dataSource");
             JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplateObject = new JdbcTemplate(obj);
            String SQL = "insert into issues(issue,status,comment) values (?, ?, ?)";
            jdbcTemplateObject.update( SQL, new Object[]{"Zara", "test", "123"} );
            System.out.println( "Hello World!" );
        }
    }

context.getBean("dataSource"); returns a DataSource not an Object of class App.

DataSource obj = (DataSource) context.getBean("dataSource");
JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplateObject = new JdbcTemplate(obj);
