@Service is not @Injected for custom written authentication-provider

[Aliaksandr]

I'm writing sample application based on the Greenhouse application.

Here is the snapshot from security config:

<authentication-manager>
<authentication-provider ref="usernamePasswordAuthenticationProvider"/>
</authentication-manager>

Here is UsernamePasswordAuthenticationProvider:

@Service
public class UsernamePasswordAuthenticationProvider implements AuthenticationProvider {

@Inject
private AuthenticationService authenticationService;

@Override
public Authentication authenticate(Authentication authentication) throws AuthenticationException { ... }
...
}

Inside authenticate authenticationService is null.
However I can obtain authenticationService from the application context if implement ApplicationContextAware, but in this case authenticationService missed authenticationRepository.
If I try to @Inject authenticationService into any of the @Controller it is injected correctly with authenticationRepository setup.

All the required <context:component-scan base-package="..."/> are setup correctly in the application.
Does it work for the Greenhouse application at all (yes, there is @Configuration used instead of xml configuration, does it matter?)?

No ideas? Does nobody use custom authentication provider? Did it work for you?

Thanks.

Why do you need @Service for your authentication provider?
