this works if I call the notifyStaff method but I'm unable to instantiate userDAO if I use the Scheduled annotation and run the method as a scheduled task. Is there a work around for this? 

@Service
public class FollowUp {

    @Autowired
    private UserDAO userDAO;

    @Scheduled(fixedDelay=5000)
    public void notifyStaff() {         
        List<User> users = userDAO.findAll();
        // do stuff with list of users 
    }
}

You have to let Spring know of your @Autowired beans so it can register them.

add to your context file:

<context:component-scan base-package="path.to.the.FollowUp" />

  • that is already included in the app-servlet.xml file. – user771912 Nov 13 '14 at 18:21
  • this sounds like the webapp context. Don't forget that in a webapp there are 2 Spring contexts, the web one (the one you mentioning) and the root (the one you present above). Since you define the FollowUp @Service bean under the root context you have to have the component-scan in the same context config file. – dimitrisli Nov 13 '14 at 18:23
  • you're right! it is as you said. thought i was going insane – user771912 Nov 13 '14 at 18:27

These two lines you are probably missing in your xml file.

    <context:component-scan base-package="your base path*" />

    <context:annotation-config />
