Spring - #Resource annotation - InvocationTargetException on runtime

I was reading through a Spring tutorial and came across the following example. It mentioned that Spring supports the Java EE annotation #Resource. I was trying the example with the source below, but it gave an InvocationTargetException. I suppose it was probably due to the SpellChecker object could not be injected properly.
Relevant stacktrace:

I attempted with the #Autowired annotation instead of the #Resource annotation, and it gave the expected result:
Inside TextEditor constructor.
Inside SpellChecker constructor.
Inside checkSpelling.
Would like to see if you can kindly advise / point out mistakes if any, thanks a lot.

IllegalArgumentException while pointing to an XML file in Spring

I'm new to spring and I was trying constructor injection. I get an IllegalArgumentException in the first line of the main function. It does not have problems locating the xml file when I use a property tag inside the xml(setter injection) but here it is raising an exception.

IOC Container will instantiate the bean and assign the object reference using setter method. Is my concept is right ?
But here #Autowired doesn't assign the object reference. Till I have used using main method with ApplicationContext and getBean to learn Spring.
But how the bean configuration works with servlet?

Your testManager is null.
You are mixing Servlet and Spring controllers.
You should use Spring dispatcher servlet :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/spring/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
The DispatcherServlet is one unique servlet, like a front controller (in a MVC2 pattern), that dispatches the request to Spring controllers (a spring component).
Then in your controller TestController, remove the inheritance of HttpServlet and override methods (doGet, doPost..), and use #RequestMapping.
In that way you will use the dependency injection of Spring framework.
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/test")
public class TestController {
#Autowired
private TestManager testManager;
#RequestMapping
#ResponseBody
public String handleRequest(final HttpServletRequest request, final HttpServletResponse response) {
String name=testManager.getName();
return name;
}
}

Since you are using servlet and not controller you could autowire it with the code
#WebServlet("/test")
public class TestController extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private AutowireCapableBeanFactory ctx;
#Autowired
private TestManager testManager;
#Override
public void init() throws ServletException {
super.init();
WebApplicationContext context = WebApplicationContextUtils
.getWebApplicationContext(getServletContext());
ctx = context.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory();
ctx.autowireBean(this);
}
...
}
You already have integrated Spring using its own context listener
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
