title: spring-boot-starter-web @Autowired isn't working
body: <p>I asked a similar question and thought it was answered.  However, yesterday it stopped working so I am going to ask again, but with my modified classes.  I hope that is the right protocol for this....</p>
  
  <p>I have a spring-boot-starter-web that is throwing a null pointer on startup because one of the classes isn't being Autowired.  Here is my setup:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.company.product
  @Configuration
  @ComponentScan
  @EnableJpaRepositories
  @EnableAutoConfiguration
  public class OFAC {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          ApplicationContext ofac = SpringApplication.run( OFAC.class, args );
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In a subpackage I have:
      package com.company.product.configuration
      @Configuration
      @ComponentScan()
      public class OFAConfiguration {</p>
  
  <pre><code>    @Autowired
      private ConfigurationSettings configurationSettings;
  
      @Bean
      public EmbeddedServletContainerFactory servletContainer() {
          int port = 9000;
          TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory factory = new TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory();
  
          if ( configurationSettings.getServerPort()!= null ) {
              port = Integer.parseInt( configurationSettings.getServerPort());
          }
          factory.setPort( port );
          factory.setSessionTimeout( 30, TimeUnit.MINUTES );
          factory.addErrorPages( new ErrorPage( HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND, "/notfound.html" ) );
  
  
          return factory;
      }
  ..}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This following class is null when @Autowired, but I can set a breakpoint and see it initialized.
      package com.company.product.configuration
      @Component
      @ConfigurationProperties()
      public class ConfigurationSettings {</p>
  
  <pre><code>    @Value("${ofac.appName}")
      private String appName;
      @Value("${ofac.appDescription}")
      private String appDescription;
      @Value("${ofac.serverPort}")
      private String serverPort;
  // getters and setters
  ..
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is where a null pointer is thrown because ConfigurationSettings is null:
      package com.company.product.service
      @Component
      public class FileDownloadService {</p>
  
  <pre><code>    @Autowired
      private ConfigurationSettings configurationSettings;
  
      private List&lt;String&gt; paths = new ArrayList&lt;String&gt;();
  
      public FileDownloadService() {
          paths.add( configurationSettings.getFileDownloadSdn() );
          paths.add( configurationSettings.getFileDownloadAdd() );
          paths.add( configurationSettings.getFilDownloadAlt() );
          paths.add( configurationSettings.getFileDownloadXmlHeader() );
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is my log output:</p>
