HK2 does not see Spring Beans - spring

Question

I have a Spring Boot application with Jersey 2 REST services.
Spring Boot seems to initialize correctly and I have Jersey Spring bridge ('org.glassfish.jersey.ext:jersey-spring3:2.22.2').
Despite this the following error is thrown then REST controller (JAX-RS 2.0) is initialized and a Spring Bean have to be injected into it.
org.glassfish.hk2.api.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: There was no object available for injection
What can cause such error?
The bean is exist and annotated with #Named, so it is not the issue. Spring Boot by default scans for JSR-330 annotations too.
Edit:
initialization is done using:
#SpringBootApplication
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {
#Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(Application.class);
}
}

Answer 1

The actual problem was something discovered in the comments (it was not shown in the original question).
With #SpringBootApplication (an alias for three annotations, including #ComponentScan), you get free component scan with Spring. But how component scan works (with out specifying packages to scan) is that it will scan the package of the #ComponentScan annotated class, and it's sub-packages. For this reason, it is recommended to put the "application" class in a root package, and have all the other packages as sub-packages of that package, e.g
com.app
Application
com.app.services
LoggingService
com.app.repos
UserRepo
With this set up, all the packages get scanned for annotated components classes. I guess the OP did not have it set up this way, so the Spring components weren't getting picked up in the scan.
