java - spring mvc annotation @Inject does not work -

i have following in app-servlet.xml

<mvc:annotation-driven />  <context:component-scan base-package="com.merc.myproject.web.controllers"/> <context:component-scan base-package="com.merc.myproject.web.forms"/> 

what ever have in controller package gets injected same thing in forms package null.

my form looks this

public class selectdatesform {      @inject iuserservice userservice;     ..... } 

my controllers looks this

@controller public class selectdates {     @inject iuserservice userservice;     ..... } 

somebody please help

i guess selectdatesform instantiated manually new rather obtained spring context. in case not spring bean , therefore not subject dependency injection.

usually don't need inject dependencies manually created objects. if need so, have several options:

• declare selectdatesform prototype-scoped bean , obtain fresh instance of spring context instead of creating new:

  @component @scope("prototype") public class selectdatesform { ... } 

  and when need obtain new instance of it:

  selectdatesform newform = applicationcontext.getbean(selectdatesform.class); 

  however, approach couples code spring's applicationcontext.

• if have no control on instantiation of selectdatesform (i.e. happens outside of code), can use @configurable

• also can manually facilitate autowiring of object created new:

  selectdatesform newform = new selectdatesform(); applicationcontext.getautowirecapablebeanfactory().autowirebean(newform);
