How can I @Autowire a spring bean that was created from an external jar?

Question

I have a module/jar that I\'ve created and am using as a util library. I created a service in there like so:

@Service
public class

You have to scan at least the package containing the class you want to inject. For example, with Spring 4 annotation:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan("com.package.where.my.class.is")
class Config {
...
}

It is the same principle for XML configuration.
