In fact, Spring support @Autowire only for Spring Beans. A java class becomes Spring Bean only when it is created by Spring, otherwise it is not.

A workaround might be to annotate your class with @Configurable but you would have to use AspectJ

Please look in the Spring documentations on how to use @Configurable

Also, I wonder why you would autowire an entity class ?
