How to make an #WebService spring aware - web-services

Question

I have a Web Service which I am trying to Autowire a variable into. Here is the class:
package com.xetius.isales.pr7.service;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import com.xetius.isales.pr7.domain.PR7Product;
import com.xetius.isales.pr7.domain.PR7Upgrade;
import com.xetius.isales.pr7.logic.UpgradeControllerInterface;
#WebService(serviceName="ProductRulesService",
portName="ProductRulesPort",
endpointInterface="com.xetius.isales.pr7.service.ProductRulesWebService",
targetNamespace="http://pr7.isales.xetius.com")
public class ProductRulesWebService implements ProductRulesWebServiceInterface {
#Autowired
private UpgradeControllerInterface upgradeController;
#Override
public List<PR7Product> getProducts() {
if (upgradeController == null) {
return Arrays.asList(new PR7Product("Fail"));
}
return upgradeController.getProducts();
}
#Override
public List<PR7Upgrade> getUpgrades() {
if (upgradeController == null) {
return Arrays.asList(new PR7Upgrade("Fail"));
}
return upgradeController.getUpgrades();
}
#Override
public List<PR7Product> getProductsForUpgradeWithName(String upgradeName) {
if (upgradeController == null) {
return Arrays.asList(new PR7Product("Fail"));
}
return getProductsForUpgradeWithName(upgradeName);
}
}
However, when I try to access the web service I am getting the Fail version returned, meaning that upgradeController is not being autowired. Here is my applicationContext:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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">
<context:component-scan base-package="com.xetius.isales.pr7" />
<context:annotation-config />
<bean id="upgradeController" class="com.xetius.isales.pr7.logic.UpgradeController" />
</beans>
How do I make it so that the #WebService class is spring aware and autowiring happens

Answer 1

If you want autowiring to happen, ProductRulesWebService needs to extend SpringBeanAutowiringSupport
Extending that class will allow UpgradeController to be autowired

Answer 2

Use a stack like CXF, which supports Spring natively, then you can essentially do something like this:
<bean id="aService" class="com.xetius.isales.pr7.service.ProductRulesWebService " />
<jaxws:endpoint id="aServiceEndpoint" implementor="#aService" address="/aService" />

Answer 3

Depending on container version or even the Spring, hereinafter you will have an easy solution to expose your WSDL, use:
#PostConstruct
SpringBeanAutowiringSupport.processInjectionBasedOnCurrentContext(this);
