Unable to Autowire in AssignmentHandler

[kh4m]

Hi good noon,

I am facing problem in my CustomAssignmentHandler class that implements AssignmentHandler

package com.tabs.bcrs.bpm.handler;

import org.jbpm.api.model.OpenExecution;

import org.jbpm.api.task.Assignable;

import org.jbpm.api.task.AssignmentHandler;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

import com.tabs.bcrs.custombpm.service.BPMCustomService;

@Component

public class CustomAssignmentHandler implements AssignmentHandler {

    @Autowired

    BPMCustomService bpmCustomService;

    String assignee;

    /**

     *

     */

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 7980992364382900445L;

    public void assign(Assignable assignable, OpenExecution openExecution)

            throws Exception {

        System.out.println("Assignee: " + assignee);

        //assignable.addCandidateUser("userId");

        assignable.addCandidateGroup(assignee);

        openExecution.createVariable("node", openExecution.getProcessInstance().getActivity().getName());

        bpmCustomService.getTaskListOfSpecificGrp("ChecklistWindowGroup");

    }

}

The problem is my object bpmCustomService generates NullPointer Exception as it seems it is not properly autowired using @Autowired. Can anybody help me out please??

Your help is appreciated.
