I am trying to integrate Jersey with Spring using maven webapp-archetype. When I get the object form the ApplicationContext I see my code executing, but when I try to use @Autowired it throws me NullPointerException. Following are the code snippets:
applicationContext.xml
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-4.0.xsd">
<context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="com.pack.resource" />
<bean id="person" class="com.pack.resource.Person">
<property name="name" value="SomeNamexxxx" />
</bean>
Person.java
package com.pack.resource;
public class Person {
private String name;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public Person() {
}
}
Hello.java
package com.pack.resource;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
@Component
@Path("/hello")
public class Hello {
@Autowired
Person person;
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public String getName() {
return person.getName();
}
}
But when I use ApplicationContext.getBean("person").getName() it gives me the actual value inside the bean property.
Why is @Autowired annotation not working as it should. Kindly help me.
TIA!
