How to @Autowire objects in Validator classes?

Question

Is it possible to Autowire an object in a Validation class? I keep getting null for the object that is supposed to be Autowired...

Answer 1

Trying to follow what you show above, I am still getting a null pointer:

context.xml:

AccessRequestValidator.java

package com.wuntee.taac.validator;

@Component
public class AccessRequestValidator implements Validator {

    @Autowired
    private UserAccessCache userAccessCache;
...
}

business-context.xml:

Does the scanner recursively scan the tree?
