Another @Autowired Question

[Smyler86]

Hello

This is my first big spring app and I need some help!

I am using Spring 3, I have Controllers, Services and DAO all working well using annotations.

I need to use a service outside of a Controller, I have tried using the @Component for the class then using the

@Autowired 
private Service service;

But the services are always null.

Please help!

Many Thanks

Hi Smyler86,

I need to use a service outside of a Controller,

This is where your problem comes from. This class must be managed by spring also. (not instantiated with java new keyword)

Be sure also to advice spring to scan the autowired property

<context:component-scan base-package="com.my.fist.big.spring.app.package" />

Where com.my.fist.big.spring.app.package is the package containing the calling class

Thank you!

That makes perfect sense!

Was generating a new class rather that @Autowired'ing it from the controller.

Have fixed this now, works perfectly!

Thanks Again.
