Spring3 Dependency Injection not working with mule

Question

I am unable to inject customerDao object in reference variable inside CustomerServiceImpl service class.

Here is my mule_flow.mflow file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Here is my CustomerServiceImpl.java

package com.proj.pos.webservice.implementation;

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebResult;
import javax.jws.WebService;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

import com.proj.pos.dao.interfac.CustomerDao;
import com.proj.pos.entity.Customer;
import com.proj.pos.webservice.interfac.CustomerService;
@WebService(endpointInterface = "com.proj.pos.webservice.interfac.CustomerService",
        serviceName = "CustomerService")
public class CustomerServiceImpl implements CustomerService {

    public CustomerDao getCustomerDao() {
        return customerDao;
    }
    public void setCustomerDao(CustomerDao customerDao) {
        this.customerDao = customerDao;
    }
    @Autowired
    private CustomerDao customerDao;//not getting populated.tried removing autowired as well.
    @Transactional
    @WebMethod(operationName="addCustomer")
    @WebResult(name="addCustomerResult")  
    @Override
    public Customer addCustomer(@WebParam(name="customerId")long customerId,@WebParam(name="fname")String fname,@WebParam(name="lname")String lname,@WebParam(name="age")long age,@WebParam(name="dateOfBirth")String dateOfBirth,@WebParam(name="address")String address) {
        Customer customer=new Customer(customerId, fname, lname, age, dateOfBirth, address);
        customer.setCustomerId(customerDao.persist(customer));//throws NUllPointerException here as customerDao is null..
         return customer;
    }

}

Any idea why DI not working?

Answer 1

You are probably missing a couple of things:

1. You should scan the packages where you want spring to look fo annotated classes. In your case you should add the following xml snippet to your mule config <context:component-scan base-package="com.proj.pos.webservice" />
2. You should declare your component as a spring object and not as a component, so you should replace <component class="com.proj.pos.webservice.implementation.CustomerServiceImpl" doc:name="Java" /> with <component><spring-object bean="customerService"/></component>
