@Component
public class VehicleTypeBean implements GenericBean {

@Override @ExcecuteRuleSet(ruleSetName="rules")
public VehicleType convertToModelObject(DESRequest request) throws ServerException {
        return this.communicatorConverterService.convertToModelObject(request.getPayload(VehicleTypeRequest.class));
    }
}
`

Please verify you have turned on component scanning in your spring configuration file.

It should look something like this:

<context:component-scan base-package="coop.tecso"/>
