@Value Returns Null in Spring/Jersey App

Question

I'm trying to get a property in my Jersey/Spring application to get injected into a member variable as follows below. When I call the service at localhost:8080/test/test, the String just comes up as null. I'm not getting any errors from the container when it starts up either. Everything looks like it's being resolved on the classpath as expected.

Am I doing anything wrong below? Is there any more information I could provide to help troubleshoot this?

Tester.java:

package com.foo;

@Service
@Path("/test")
public class Tester implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 7192266167739106825L;

    @Value("${testInjection}")
    private String throttleTime;

    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    @Path("/test")
    public String test() {
        return "injected value: " + throttleTime;
    }
}

Answer 1

I had to add the @Component annotation as well..

package com.foo;

@Component
@Service
@Path("/test")
public class Tester implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 7192266167739106825L;

    @Value("${testInjection}")
    private String throttleTime;

    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    @Path("/test")
    public String test() {
        return "injected value: " + throttleTime;
    }
}
