Not sure why but this does not work for me.

import de.codecamp.vaadin.serviceref.ServiceRef;
@Autowired
private ServiceRef<NetworkWorker> networkWorker;


and still my auto wired field is null


Note: im trying to auto wire one of the @Bean in my service

Does auto-wiring without ServiceRef work? Even if my add-on somehow wasn't active, Spring would still complain that it didn't find anything to inject. And since there is no error, it seems to me there's no auto-wiring.
