Class not able to access bean managed by Spring - spring

Question

I have Spring configuration file where I am defining beans but somehow this bean is not accessible from one of the class in same package, though same beans are accessible from Controller class which was annotated as #Controller. I was thinking may be this class was not managed by Spring but that's not the case.
1) Configuration class
#Bean
public FooConsumer fooConsumer() {
return new FooConsumer();
}
#Bean
public Map<String, ProxyConsumer> appProxyConsumerMap() {
Map<String, ProxyConsumer> proxyConsumer = new HashMap<String, ProxyConsumer>();
proxyConsumer.put(FOO_APP, FooConsumer());
return proxyConsumer;
}
#Bean
public FooEventConsumer fooEventConsumer() {
return new FooEventConsumer();
}
#Bean
public Map<String, FooConsumer> fooConsumerMap(){
Map<String, FooConsumer> fooEventConsumer = new HashMap<String, FooConsumer>();
fooEventConsumer.put(FOO_EVENT, fooEventConsumer());
}
2) Controller class
#Resource
#Qualifier("appProxyConsumerMap")
Map<String, ProxyConsumer> appProxyConsumerMap;
//proxyApp comes as path variable
ProxyConsumer consumer = appProxyConsumerMap.get(proxyApp);
//invoke consumer
boolean consumed = consumer.consumeEvent(eventRequest);
//here consumer is my FooConsumer class, till now all works fine.
3) now in FooConsumer class it tries to access Map bean named fooConsumerMap to get which event to call but somehow it returns null.
#Resource
#Qualifier("fooConsumerMap")
Map<String, FooConsumer> fooConsumerMap;
FooEventConsumer consumer = fooConsumerMap.get(eventType);
//Here fooConsumerMap comes as null in this class, though it comes as object in controller class , please advise.

Answer 1

In your configuration file, construct your FooConsumer bean with the FooConsumerMap bean declared in the same configuration.
You can autowire other beans into a configuration file, but to pull together beans within the file you pass them as constructor arguments.
Note that if you call a Bean annotated method multiple times, you will surprisingly always get the same instance even if the method logic constructs a new instance.
