Simple RestFul WebService with Component-scan

I am trying to autowire an object using component-scan in my restFul Webservice. But getting Nullpointer exception when userDao object is used.
I dont want to use Spring MVC or spring boot. Just want to simply inject the dependency using component-scan. Please help!!!
UserDao.java
#Component
public class UserDao {
public List<User> getAllUsers(){
//return a list
}
}
UserService.java
#Component
#Path("/UserService")
public class UserService {
#Autowired
private UserDao userDao;
#PostConstruct
public void initialize() {
System.out.println("userDao object: " + userDao);
}
#GET
#Path("/users")
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public List<User> getUsers(){
return getUserDao().getAllUsers();
}
public UserDao getUserDao() {
return userDao;
}
public void setUserDao(UserDao userDao) {
this.userDao = userDao;
}
}

You will need to define a bean in your applicationContext.xml file. Spring container initializes this bean when the application is started.
eg.
<bean id="userDAO" class="your.package.name.UserDAO">
<!-- In case if you use hibernate -->
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>
As an analogy, you can think of this as spring is doing UserDAO userDAO = new UserDAO(); for you.

ANY OTHER INFO REQUIRED, PLS LET ME KNOW

I had the same problem few days before, and I got bellow solution.
#Controller
#RequestMapping(value="/" )
public class CustomerController {
//do your stuff here
#RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String login(ModelMap model){
//model.put("Info", new Customer());
return "/login";
}
//Rest of your stuff goes here
}
Since you have configured your Dispatcher servlet to handle your context in stead of all possibility which people generally do by adding this (/*), so above provided code snippet will work and redirect your context to /login which you want(if i'm not wrong). Cheers!!!!

Spring Security Java Configuration. Rules are not applied

I am starting to use Spring Security. I've always implement my own security. So this is new for me. I've followed few tutorials. I've read even Pro Spring Security Book (unfortunatelly everythink was configured with xml).
I would like to write Rest Api base on Spring and Spring Security. I will have to main routes to my api. First is for anonymous users, and this goes as follow:
http://localhost:8080/cms/services/anonymous/**
The second url route is for authenticated users:
http://localhost:8080/cms/services/authenticated/**
When I hit url like this:
http://localhost:8080/cms/services/authenticated/testService/getInfo
I should get http answer 401 Unauthorized. But in my current project I am getting 200 Ok. What I am doing wrong?
Here is my config:

Please help.

You should register your SecurityConfig in AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer, like following:
public class WebAppInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {
#Override
protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
return new Class[] { SecurityConfig.class };
}
#Override
protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
return new Class[] { AppConfig.class };
}
#Override
protected String[] getServletMappings() {
return new String[] { "/" };
}
}

Spring mvc is returning home page after two or more forward slashes

I am learning/developing website in JSP with Sping MVC. The problem now I am facing is that when I try to visit url "localhost/site/about///" it shows default home page, if I go to "localhost/site" it shows home page and if I go to "localhost/about" it shows about page. So I don't know how to throw error page if someone tries to access page with any single forward slash. I mean if I try to access "localhost/site/about/" or "localhost/site/about///" I want my app to throw 404 error page.
Here is my web.xml code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

#RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView homePage(){

model.addObject("title", "Welcome to home page");
model.addObject("msg", "This is the home page.");
return model;
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/about", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView aboutPage(){
ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("AboutPage");
model.addObject("title", "About Test website.");
return model;
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/accounts/login", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView loginPage(){
ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("accounts");
model.addObject("title", "Login here to access Test Website.");
model.addObject("pageTitle", "Login page.");
return model;
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/accounts/signup", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView signupPage(){
ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("accounts");
model.addObject("title", "Signup here to join and explore Test Website.");
model.addObject("pageTitle", "Signup page.");
return model;
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/accounts/logout", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView logoutPage(){
ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("accounts");
model.addObject("title", "Logging you out securely.");
model.addObject("pageTitle", "Logout page.");
return model;
}
}
So can anyone tell me how can I stop showing default home page after single or multiple forward slashes? Thank you for help.

If you are getting exception in the code then for specific exceptions you can rendor specific views by using exception resolver.

You can have a fallback method to show the error page as follows:
#RequestMapping(value = "*")
#ResponseBody
public String errorPage() {
return "Error page";
}
EDIT:
Else you can use regular expression to handle multiple forward slashes at the end:
#RequestMapping("{multipleForwardSlashes:[/]{2,}$}")
public String errorPage(#PathVariable String multipleForwardSlashes) {
return "Error page";
}

Web Application based on Spring Security crashes during startup (NullPointerException)

My application, which make use of Spring Security, is crashing during the startup. Tracking the execution of the application, I could verify the error is happening in method onStartup from class MainWebAppInitializer:
public class MainWebAppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {
/**
* Register and configure all Servlet container components necessary to power the web application.
*/
#Override
public void onStartup(final ServletContext sc) throws ServletException {
// Create the 'root' Spring application context
final AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext root = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
root.scan("com.spring.web.config");
// Manages the lifecycle of the root application context
sc.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(root));
// Handles requests into the application
final ServletRegistration.Dynamic appServlet = sc.addServlet("horariolivreapp", new DispatcherServlet(new GenericWebApplicationContext()));
appServlet.setLoadOnStartup(1);
final Set<String> mappingConflicts = appServlet.addMapping("/");
if (!mappingConflicts.isEmpty()) {
throw new IllegalStateException("'appServlet' could not be mapped to '/' due " + "to an existing mapping. This is a known issue under Tomcat versions " + "<= 7.0.14; see https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51278");
}
}
}
More specificly, the error occurs in the line
appServlet.setLoadOnStartup(1)
where a NullPointerException is triggered. Follow it is my configuration files, for reference:

An NPE at that point means that appServlet is null, which in turn means that sc.addServlet(...) returned null.
The Javadoc for addServlet says this:
"Returns: a ServletRegistration object that may be used to further configure the given servlet, or null if this ServletContext already contains a complete ServletRegistration for a servlet with the given servletName or if the same servlet instance has already been registered with this or another ServletContext in the same container."
Now you are instantiating the Servlet object at that point, so it cannot have previously been registered. But there could be another Servlet with the same name ... and that's the probable immediate cause of the problem.
And in fact, it looks like you have already registered a servlet called "horariolivreapp" by declaring it in the web.xml file.
