spring - Integration test: test the Autowired annotation -

i want test injection dependencies in spring.

i have class:

 public someclass {    @autowired    somebean bean ;    public somebean getbean(){      return this.bean ;    }  } 

i want test this:

public someclasstest {   someclass someclass ;   @before   public void setup(){     someclass = new someclass() ;   }                                 @test public testbeanwired(){     assertnotnull(someclass.getbean()) ;                                                     }                           } 

i have tried contextconfiguration test configuration file, test fails, don't want use @autowired in test, want create instance of class , bean autowired automatically.

that possible if bean annotated @configuration , if byte-code instrumented. otherwise, beans created spring autowired. not beans created using new. because spring has no way know created object , must inject dependency in it.

that's fundamental principle of dependency injection: objects instantiated , injected container, not you.
