Java: How to fix Spring @Autowired annotation not working issues

Spring is a powerful framework, but it requires some skill to use efficiently. When I started working with Spring a while ago (actually Spring Boot to develop microservices) I encountered some challenges related to dependency injection and using the @Autowired annotation. In this blog I'll explain the issues and possible solutions. Do note that since I do not have a long history with Spring, the provided solutions might not be the best ones.

SOA Suite 12c: Obtaining composite resources such as WSDLs, XSDs and WADLs

In SOA Suite 12c and 11g there are several options to obtain composite resources such as WSDL's and WADL's. In this blog post I will demonstrate some of them and provide some background information. First I'll describe how URL's can be used to access composite resources. Next I'll describe how and when the EM test console and the Webservice test client can be used to gain information about composite WSDL's and XSD's.
