I have a question. Why are you using PostConstruct anyway? AFAIK, a new
action is created for each request. This is not going to work like a servlet
where it is created, you perform some initialization. I think the problem is
caused by the mixing of APIs.
My guess is that whatever you are trying to do in the @PostConstruct annotated
method should be in your annotate.

Hi Norris and Dave!
Thank you for your answers.
Yes, I have get/set methods for myService.
If you means declaring: <constant name="struts.objectFactory" value="spring" />
in my struts.xml for my object factory, yes. I don't have @Component for Spring
injection, but I suppose Spring work well as far as the myService bean is
available in my context for other beans in my app.
I'm just wondering about @Autowired and @PostConstruct behaviour when passing
by Struts + Spring.
Probably @PostConstruct is executed just before the @Autowired?
Using pure Spring without Struts works well: running a JUnit test with my
@PostConstruct annotated method show myService is not null, but when this is in
a Struts action does not work...
Has anybody see this behaviour?
Thank you for your help!
