Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException:
i have some problem with my constructor in one my controller. I try to call one service in a constructor. The Service is autowired in an AbstractController, but i got a nullpointer exception.
A component:
@Component
@RestController
@RequestMapping(value = "/test", ...)
public class AController extends AbstractController {
@Autowired
SomeService someService;
public AController(){
globalService.setClazz(Test.class);
}
....
here the AbstractController:
public abstract class AbstractController<T> {
@Autowired
GlobalService globalService;
...
here the exception. It is throwed in by globalService.setClazz(Test.class);

Thanks for helping
Answer
You are using globalService field inside the constructor, but the constructor is called before any @Autowired fields are set, so globalService is null at that point.
You should probably use
@PostConstruct
public void init() {
globalService.setClazz(Test.class);
}
instead of the constructor. Or better, do this setup at the same place where GlobalService is created.
