Spring MVC Access Service class from a Cron Method annotated with @Scheduled

Question

I have a working cron method but it gives me a null java.lang.NullPointerException on my service class:

public class CronTask {



    private JpassatemposService jpassatemposService;
    @Autowired(required=true)
    @Qualifier(value="jpassatemposService")
    public void setJpassatemposService(JpassatemposService concs){
        this.jpassatemposService = concs;
    }




    @Autowired
    private ServletContext sCtx;





  //    @Scheduled(cron ="46 11 * * * ?")
    @Scheduled(fixedDelay=30000)
    public void sendCodPendentes(){

        System.out.println("Start :: "+ new Date());
        try {
            System.out.println("TRY "+ new Date());

            List<Jpassatempos> aTerminar = this.jpassatemposService.listJpassatempos24H();
            System.out.println("24 "+ new Date());
            List<Jpassatempos> enviados = this.jenviocodpendentesService.listJenviocodpendentes24H("CodPendentes24");
            System.out.println("Enviados "+ new Date());
            List<Jpassatempos> resultado = new ArrayList<Jpassatempos>();

            .....

Any Help is appreciated

Answer 1

After a discussion in the chat with @Kunal, we established that the problem was with the following XML configuration:

<bean id="cronTask" class="com.setelog.spring.CronTask"></bean>

The two services referred to in the code were being created in the XML config, and so needed to be set directly in this <bean> definition, so the following solution worked:

<bean id="cronTask" class="com.setelog.spring.CronTask"> 
  <property name="jpassatemposService" ref="jpassatemposService"/> 
  <property name="jenviocodpendentesService" ref="jenviocodpendentesService"/> 
</bean>
