Why is my Spring Autowired field null

0 votes

I have a Spring @Service class (MileageFeeCalculator) that has an @Autowired field (rateService), but the field is null when I try to use it. The logs show that both the MileageFeeCalculator bean and the MileageRateService bean are being created, but I get a NullPointerException whenever I try to call the mileageCharge method on my service bean. Why isn't Spring autowiring the field?

If you are not coding a web application, make sure your class in which @Autowiring is done is a spring bean. The spring container won't be aware of the class which we might think of as a spring bean. We have to tell the Spring container about our spring classes.

This can be achieved by configuring in appln-contxt or the better way is to annotate class as @Component and please do not create the annotated class using new operator. Make sure you get it from Appln-context as below.

@Component
public class MyDemo {


    @Autowired
    private MyService  myService; 

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            System.out.println("test");
            ApplicationContext ctx=new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring.xml");
            System.out.println("ctx>>"+ctx);

            Customer c1=null;
            MyDemo myDemo=ctx.getBean(MyDemo.class);
            System.out.println(myDemo);
            myDemo.callService(ctx);


    }
    public void callService(ApplicationContext ctx) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.println("---callService---");
        System.out.println(myService);
        myService.callMydao();

    }

}


Hope this is helpfull!!
