[FIXED] @ServerEndpoint and Spring MVC injection

Issue

I am trying to inject annotated by @Repository class in @ServerEndpoint class. But when i am trying to call repository method it is return null. Another injected bean from this package is working fine.

@ApplicationScoped
@ServerEndpoint("/WebsocketHome/actions")
public class WebSocketServer {
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(WebSocketServer.class);

@Inject
private SessionHandler sessionHandler;

@Inject
private PlaceRepository placeRepository;

@OnMessage
public void handleMessage(String message, Session session) {

    JSONParser jsonParser = new JSONParser();

    try {
        JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) jsonParser.parse(message);

        if ("getRooms".equals(jsonObject.get("action"))) {
            List<Place> places = this.placeRepository.getAllPlaces(); //error is here               
        }
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            LOG.error(e.getMessage());
        }
.....

This is repository class:

@Repository
@Transactional
public class PlaceRepository {

    @Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public List<Place> getAllPlaces() {
        return this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery("from Place place").list();
    }
}

Error appears only on calling of @OnMessage method. All junit @Tests of repository class returns fine results. What is wrong in my code? Sorry for my english.

UPD:

It seems, that problem is in SessionFactory dependency because test method, that i add in @Repository:

public String testWS() {
        return "Test is ok!";
    }

returns fine result.

Solution

So, looks like i found the right way. I found it in Spring websocket documentation. There are some steps what i did:

1. I put in type-level annotation:

   @ServerEndpoint(value = "/WebsocketHome/actions", configurator = SpringConfigurator.class)

2. I added @Service and @Controller to my websocket classes and "context:component-scan" path to my app-context.xml file so that Spring can find corresponding beans.

3. I added the "spring-websocket" dependency in my pom.xml (i use maven)

Maybe it is not the right way, but it is works fine for me.
