Spring #autowired is not loading the bean - throws NULL pointer - spring

Question

I have a very simple project setup.
Spring 4.14
Jersey 2.15
Web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Jersey Web Application</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
<param-value>com.talentera</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
For some reason, #Autowired not working or the beans are not being scanned.
Below is my project setup:
Below is the spring configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:jee="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xmlns:task="http://www.springframework.org/schema/task"
xsi:schemaLocation="

<context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="com.talentera">
<context:include-filter type="annotation"
expression="org.springframework.stereotype.Component" />
<context:include-filter type="annotation"
expression="org.springframework.stereotype.Service" />
</context:component-scan>
Below is the usage:
#Component
#Path("/user")
#Scope("request")
public class UserRestService extends BaseAPIService{
#Autowired
UserManagementService userManagementService;
protected static final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog( UserRestService.class.getName() );
EmailFormatValidator emailValidator = new EmailFormatValidator();
public UserManagementService getUserManagementService() {
return userManagementService;
}
public void setUserManagementService(UserManagementService userManagementService) {
this.userManagementService = userManagementService;
}
#GET
#Path("/get/{userId}")
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public String getUser(#PathParam("userId") Integer userId)
{
System.out.println(getSerRequest().getSession().getId());
User u = userManagementService.getUserById(userId);
response.setData(u);
return jsonStringifyResponse();
}
package com.talentera.common.service.impl;
imports,,,,
#Service("userManagementService")
#Transactional(rollbackFor = Exception.class)
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public class UserManagementServiceImpl extends AbstractService<Identifiable> implements UserManagementService
{
This throws a NULL pointer exception since userManagementService is NULL.
Please help me with your findings. Thanks in Advance.

It seems like adding this to your xml might solve the problem. If you are picking from a specific list of annotations you would also need to add the autowired annotation in their.
<context:include-filter type="annotation" expression="org.springframework.stereotype.Autowired" />
