@Controller
public class GetAllDataController{
private ModelService modelService;
public void setModelService(){
   this.modelService =modelService ;
}
    @RequestMapping("/home")
    public ModelAndView home(HttpServletRequest arg0,
            HttpServletResponse arg1) throws Exception {

        ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView("home");
        FormModel model = new FormModel();

        modelService.getPort();


         return mav;
    }

}

Please help me, Why injected bean object is null while calling getPort() method?

Answer 1

You need to autowire in the beans

@Autowired
private ModelService modelService;
