Problem using @SpringBean with Wicket 1.3.5

[Kent Larsson]

Hi,

I've tried to solve this for several hours now, without success, but then
again I'm not that experienced. :-)

I have an application with Spring beans which I want to use from Wicket,
using @SpringBean. To see that Spring works fine I've tried using my bean
without the @SpringBean annotation. By having

    @Override
    protected void init() {
        super.init();
        ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");
    }

    public UserRegistrationService getUserRegistrationService() {
        return (UserRegistrationService) BeanFactoryUtils.beanOfType(ctx,
UserRegistrationService.class);
    }

In my class which extends WebApplication (my Application class). It works
fine that way! So it must have something to do with how I try to use the
@SpringBean annotation.

First I have

    @Override
    protected void init() {
        super.init();
        addComponentInstantiationListener(new
SpringComponentInjector(this));
    }

In my Application class and in my web.xml I have added

    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>classpath:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

    <listener>

<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>

and in my Page where I try to use the UserRegistrationService I have

    @SpringBean
    UserRegistrationService userRegistrationService;

    /**
     * Constructor...
     */
    public UserRegistrationPage(final PageParameters parameters) {
        add(new Label("message",
userRegistrationService.takeSomeString("hello service") ));
    }

But when I try this I get

" WicketMessage: Can't instantiate page using constructor public
net.mycompany.webcarrot.presentation.pages.UserRegistrationPage(org.apache.wicket.PageParameters)
and argument "

I have a complete stack trace at pastebin (to not pollute the mail with it)
http://pastebin.com/f7c12d56c

I hope someone more experienced with Wicket than me knows what's going on
here. I've tried to solve it for a couple of hours, but I can't find any
faults in it (I'm trying to follow the instructions in Wicket in Action).

Thank you for your time reading! Any help is HIGHLY appreciated! Have a nice
day!

Best regards, Kent
