@Configurable withe dependency in super class

[baronludwig]

Hope someone can assist with an explanation regarding the following

If I have a Concrete Class with a single dependency, and annotate as @Configurable (autowiring by name for convenience), the dependency is injected.
If I extract the dependent property, and the getter and setter into a new Super Class, and instantiate the object as follows, the dependency is not injected.

SuperClass concreteClass = new ConcreteClass();

If, however, I instantiate the object as follows, the dependency is injected

ConcreteClass concreteClass = new ConcreteClass();

Annotating the super class with @Configurable (whether abstract or not) makes no difference.

I'm sure there is a good reason for this, but don't know what it is!

Thanks Marc

I'm currently reviewing o/s issues within my project, and have still been unable to solve this one.

In effect this means that I either move the dependency from the super to the concrete class (non OO) or have to refer to the object always as it's concrete class, neither of which is a solution.

Anyone one any ideas?

Thanks
Marc
