@Resource not being injected

[sansp00]

I'm sorry for posting this if it sound stupid, but I am just getting started with spring batch and this issue is driving me nuts.

Let's say my app as 3 jars.
jar1 defines a marshaller interface + impl and has the following context definition:

<?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-3.0.xsd">

	<bean id="marshaller" class="com.accovia.totem.tjc.MarshallerImpl" />
	<bean id="flags" class="com.accovia.totem.tjc.Flags" />
</beans>

jar2 injects the marshaller as a resource:

public class ToiLineMapper implements LineMapper<InputRecord> {
    @Resource
    Marshaller marshaller;
...

and imports in its context like this

<import resource="classpath*:/applicationContext-totem-infra.xml" />

Finally my cli-app (using commandlinejobrunner) ties it all up with a app context and a job context
which does the same import as above and does the standard definitions and has also this to register automatically my jobs:

	<!-- Job Registrar -->
	<bean
		class="org.springframework.batch.core.configuration.support.AutomaticJobRegistrar">
		<property name="applicationContextFactories">
			<bean
				class="org.springframework.batch.core.configuration.support.ClasspathXmlApplicationContextsFactoryBean">
				<property name="resources" value="classpath*:/jobs/job*.xml" />
			</bean>
		</property>
		<property name="jobLoader">
			<bean
				class="org.springframework.batch.core.configuration.support.DefaultJobLoader">
				<property name="jobRegistry" ref="jobRegistry" />
			</bean>
		</property>
	</bean>

For reference my reader def (which fails on a NPE on the @resource injection):

<bean id="toiFileMultiLineItemReader" class="com.accovia.totem.batch.io.MultiLineToiItemReader">
		<property name="delegate">
			<bean class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.FlatFileItemReader">
				<property name="resource" ref="toiFile" />
				<property name="lineMapper">
					<bean class="com.accovia.totem.batch.io.ToiLineMapper">
					</bean>
				</property>
			</bean>
		</property>
	</bean>

For reference my job def:

	<batch:job id="toiJob">
		<batch:step id="step">
			<batch:tasklet>
				<batch:chunk reader="toiFileMultiLineItemReader" writer="bookingItemWriter" commit-interval="5" />
			</batch:tasklet>
		</batch:step>
	</batch:job>

Why is my @Resource always null ?!? Im sure it is something simple and obvious, but I just can't see it
If I Marshaller marshaller = new MarshallerImpl();, the jobs runs perfectly, but it defies the spring use ...

Please help ...
Thanks in advance

did you configure your spring context as shown in annotation-based Container Configuration ?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
         http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
         http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
         http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">

<context:annotation-config/>

</beans>
