Spring DI - Autowired property is null in a REST service

Question

I\'m getting started with Spring DI, but I\'m struggling with dependency injection and the worse part is that I\'m not even sure why as it seems ok to me. Hopefully you guys

Answer 1

Another possible option is to manually invoke autowiring in your jersey resource:

@Context
private ServletContext servletContext;

@PostConstruct
public void init() {
    SpringBeanAutowiringSupport.processInjectionBasedOnServletContext(this, servletContext);
}

Hmm, you get a "manual autowiring"...
