Spring util:map injection with @resource

This should be simple but I don't manage to get it working.

I have field annotated with @resource:

public class foo {
  @Resource(name = "configMap")
  private Map<String, String> config;
}

In applicationContext.xml I have (to be populated with Maven:

<context:annotation-config />
<util:map id="configMap" map-class="java.util.HashMap">
    <entry key="url" value="${url}"></entry>
</util:map>

But at run time this doesn't work, the config field remains null. Any advices?

Edit: I am using Spring 3.0 and it is an existing project so I can't tell right away if there is some bizarre config elsewhere preventing this from working.

As waxwing suggested, the instance was not created properly.

Have You included the context name space to your beans definition ? 

xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
