Autowiring of Spring Beans within objects created with new keyword

Question

I found following solution but unfortunately I am not able to get it working.

I can successfully compile, but when I test the application, my Spring Beans are always null.

Environment:

• Tomcat 7
• JDK 1.7 / JRE7
• Compiler Version 1.7
• Spring 3.2.4
• AspectJ 1.7.3
• Spring Aspects 4.0.0
