nullpointerexception - Spring managed object always null. wicket framework -

today have had infuriating problem follows:

i have wicket based application using spring manage objects connecting application database, in past has worked fine me.

i using inbuilt jetty server in eclipse run application , note when put breakpoint in datasource method in class populating, @ startup setter seems called , datasource object has data want.

however when go use object spring has injected values it's datasource object comes null object.

a code snippet follows:

declaring class be managed spring:

public class homepage extends webpage {  @springbean(name = "userimpl") private userimpl userimp;  /**  *   */ 

where calling object:

    protected void onsubmit() {             super.onsubmit();              try {                 person returneduser = userimp.finduser(model.getusername(),                         model.getpassword());                 setresponsepage(studentpage.class);                 returneduser.getemail();             } catch (exception e) { 

my application context file:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance"        xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xsi:schemalocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">  <!-- datasource (parameterized configuration via propertyplaceholderconfigurer) --> <bean id="datasource" destroy-method="close"     class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.basicdatasource">     <property name="driverclassname" value="com.mysql.jdbc.driver" />     <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306" />     <property name="username" value="root" />     <property name="password" value="admin" /> </bean>  <bean id="userimp" class="com.bascombe.persistance.userimpl">     <property name="datasource" ref="datasource" /> </bean>

any ideas?

if bean id "userimp" typo in question : have not actived annotation configuration annotation @springbean has no effect.

you must add application context :

<context:annotation-config/>
