Spring @Autowired Field - NoSuchBeanDefinitionException

I realize this question has been asked many times, but those answers don't seem to get me working.

The class which has the @Autowired field:

@Component
public class SpecialClaimsCaseManager {

    @Autowired
    private SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService<SpecialClaimsCaseDto> service;
    public SpecialClaimsCaseManager() {
    }

    public Collection<SpecialClaimsCase> findAll() {
        return convertToSpecialClaimsCase(service.findAll());
    }

The interface SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService

public interface SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService<C extends SpecialClaimsCaseDto> {
    //Some method signatures, not relevant

The implementation class (what should be injected)

@Service("specialClaimsCaseRepositoryService") 
public class SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryServiceImpl implements SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService<SpecialClaimsCaseDto> {
    //Some method implementations, not relevant

            <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory" />
        </bean> 
</beans>

Full stack trace (fpasted because it's pretty long) http://fpaste.org/116696/14049194/

So, as we can see, mvc:annotation-driven is enabled, and autowiring is enabled. If I understand this correctly (I might not, pretty new to Spring), this should be all I need. SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService is an interface, if that matters, though I don't think it should as this same @Autowiring worked fine in another class annotated with @Controller.

Thanks for any help!

You'll notice from your stack trace that the exception occurs in the process of initializing the root application context loaded by the ContextLoaderListener. That's taken from 

<!-- Spring Configuration Files -->
<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>
        WEB-INF/application-security.xml
        classpath*:sch_model_spring.xml
    </param-value>
</context-param>

In those two, you are scanning

<context:component-scan base-package="com.redacted.sch.model"/>

but not the com.redacted.sch.service... package that is required by one of the beans.

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private com.redacted.sch.service.SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService com.redacted.sch.model.SpecialClaimsCaseManager.specialClaimsCaseRepositoryService;

In this case, xyz.model.SpecialClaimsCaseManager has an @Autowired field of type xyz.service.SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService, but no such bean exists.

Don't mix component-scanned folders between application contexts, those loaded by ContextLoaderListener vs DispatcherServlet. Refactor so that application beans are loaded by the ContextLoaderListener and controller-related beans are loaded by the DispatcherServlet.
