@Inject doesn't work

[benma]

Hello.
In my application @Autowired works but @Inject doesn't.
What could be the reasons for that?
(@Inject is being recognised as a legal annotation. Dependencies were retrieved by maven).
I use spring 3.0.0.RELEASE and javax.inject version 1 (in the pom.xml).

Does it have anything to do with scope? Does JSR-330 have different scope than Spring?
I would appreciate a simple and straight forward solution.
Thanks in advance.

Benma,

I don't think the @Inject is a Spring type of annotation.

I believe its a JEE type of annotation.

If you want more info on Spring Annotation get this Refcard off Dzone.

Please let me know if this helps.

No, it's not; it's JSR-330 annotation interfaces. But Spring 3 passed the TCK so it IS a recognized implementation of those interfaces.

For the original poster: did you properly annotate the beans you want injected using @Inject with the @Named annotation? Because if you use @Component, they won't be picked up by scanning for @Inject purposes.
You either use @Autowired and @Component, OR @Inject and @Named.

No, I used @Component and @Inject. Thanks for clarifying this for me.
