vaadin springboot and null pointer when using autowire for EventBus.UIEvent

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8
1

Hi,

I am using vaadin springboot and I getting null pointer when using autowire for EventBus.UIEventBus.

What I am trying to do in below code is pass the event from loginview to my main vaadin UI class. And a null pointer I am getting is in LoginView class.

Any input are appreciated . Thank you.
