Servlet Spring中的自动装配注释

Question

I have problem (when i'm calling method from another component class) with NullPointerException like this:

ERROR [UploadServlet] - Servlet.service() for servlet UploadServlet threw exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at pl.crai.servlets.FileUploadServlet.doPost(FileUploadServlet.java:77)
    at pl.crai.servlets.FileUploadServlet.handleRequest(FileUploadServlet.java:286)
    at org.springframework.web.context.support.HttpRequestHandlerServlet.service(HttpRequestHandlerServlet.java:67)
    at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:810)

My spring version is 3.2 and it's my servlet class injection:

@Component
public class FileUploadServlet implements HttpRequestHandler {

    @Autowired
    private MessagesPersistence messagesPersistence;

Next, my applicationContext.xml :

<bean name="UploadServlet" class="pl.crai.servlets.FileUploadServlet">

    </bean>

spring-servlet.xml :

<mvc:annotation-driven />
    <import resource="applicationContext.xml" />
    <context:component-scan base-package="pl.crai" />

and entire web.xml :

<display-name></display-name>

      <listener-class>
        org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
      </listener-class>

I tried to try use different settings (without @Component annatotion in servlet, with @Component("UploadServlet") , without config in xml files, and more..) Please help!

======================EDIT====================================

So.. when I removed <import resource= from spring-servlet.xml autowired in another component in my project doesn't work.

My uprgade version of web.xml is:

<display-name></display-name>
    <listener>
      <listener-class>
        org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
      </listener-class>

    <context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>classpath*:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

    <filter>
        <filter-name>CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>encoding</param-name>
            <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>

     <servlet>

</web-app> 

But it still doesn't work with another exception:

Allocate exception for servlet UploadServlet

Answer 1

Your UploadServlet should be defined in your root web application context (the one loaded up by ContextLoaderListener ):

So the changes should be, add the bean to your applicationContext.xml file, which you have already done. Remove <import resource.. from your servlet-context.xml file Load up applicationContext.xml instead through ContextLoaderListener , NOT through <import resource... , so in your web.xml:

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>classpath:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
