Spring inject bean into startup class during server start up

My bean is :

@Component
public class KidsServerStartUp implements ServletContextListener
{
     UploadService uplService;

    @Autowired
    public void setUplService( UploadService uplService )
    {
        this.uplService = uplService;
    }
    public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
       System.out.println ( uplService );
    }
}

In web.xml; I am firstly calling spring framework to set all beans ; then setting the startup listener :

<listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>
    <listener>
        <listener-class>com.kids.util.KidsServerStartUp</listener-class>
    </listener>

uplService is getting printed as null !

I think what you are looking for is something like this post.

Since you are using a ServletContextListener spring context will not be used for the creation of the Listener class. But we can get access to the ApplicationContext using the ServletContext.

public class KidsServerStartUp implements ServletContextListener {
    public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
        final WebApplicationContext springContext = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(event.getServletContext());
        UploadService uplService = springContext.getBean(UploadService.class);
        System.out.println ( uplService );
    }
}
