I am using Spring Boot in my project and registering a Bean as follows:

@Bean
public Config registerBean() {
    Config config = new Config();
    config.setTest(test);

    return config;
}

When I try to acquire the bean, I am getting a NullPointerException.

public class PdiClient {
    @Autowired
    private Config appConfig;

}

Any idea on what causing the null pointer?

Not nearly enough code to tell, but this is the most likely scenario. We can reopen if you provide details that point to a different problem. – chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic- Sep 20 '16 at 12:58

Looks like `PdiClient` is not a spring managed bean. Do you have an Annotation on class Level of this class? How you create/autowire the class? – Jens Sep 20 '16 at 12:59
PidClient has no annotation, it's a POJO, Do I need to add a annotation for the using class too?.. – Aruna Karunarathna Sep 20 '16 at 13:02
put `@Component` annotation on `PdiClient` class – Parth Solanki Sep 20 '16 at 13:05
Got it working, I was doing a new in a calling object. Stupid me. – Aruna Karunarathna Sep 20 '16 at 13:13
