How to load a bean that is autowired?

[SpringOrSummer]

I'm trying to run my spring container in a standalone application (it is from a spring mvc application).

So the context loads fine, but the problem is my services are autowired in my controllers.

@Autowired
ProductService productService;

How can I load this in my standalone application now?

ProductService ps = (ProductService) context.getBean("productService");

I can the error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'productService' is defined.

Is the only way for this to work is to manually define it then?

Hi, check followings,

1. If you have a bean named "productService" in the application context (xml)
2. Or if you have defined your beans through annotations, check if you have set the name (or correct name) . i.e. @Service(value="productService") or @Component(value="productService")

I have this:

@Service
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {

}

Is that not enough?

[rajan]

Have you "annotation-config" and "component-scan" tags in your xml??

What i meant was make sure that you set the bean name.

@Service(value="productService")
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {

}

Note the highlighted part.
