Problem injecting dependencies into @Configuration class

[rgladwell]

Hi Guys

I'm trying to create a custom exception resolver chain as follows:

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "web.client")
public class WebApplicationConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

	private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(WebApplicationConfiguration.class);

	@Inject
	private MonitoringExceptionResolver resolver;

	@Override
	public void configureHandlerExceptionResolvers(List<HandlerExceptionResolver> exceptionResolvers) {
		log.debug("configuring exception resolvers");
		super.configureHandlerExceptionResolvers(exceptionResolvers);
		exceptionResolvers.add(new DefaultHandlerExceptionResolver());
		exceptionResolvers.add(new AnnotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver());
		exceptionResolvers.add(new ResponseStatusExceptionResolver());
		exceptionResolvers.add(resolver);
	}

}

However, I get NPE later in the execution chain because the "resolver" class field above is always null. This class should be successfully wired elsewhere using component scanning. Why is it always null in the above? Am I doing something wrong?

Regards...

For starters your base package isn't a valid package (starts with a .). Also @Inject might be too late so instead try @Autowired.

Please ignore the base package, I redacted the rest of it so-as not to display personal information (now fixed above)

As for @Autowired, I already tried that and that didn't work either.
