Cannot add ElementService as a Resource to abstract class

I am trying to expand on the Demo for a proof of concept.

My ideal situation was to put a reference from to the ElementService in an abstract class and then use it in children classes. However, when instantiating the child class the ElementService I am trying to access is null.

My abstract class looks like this: public abstract class AbstractCappexPage extends BaseServiceHub { @Resource protected ElementService seleniumElementService;

@Resource
protected WebDriver seleniumWebDriver;

public AbstractCappexPage() {

}

}

My child class (a view) looks like this (abbreviated): public class CappexLoginPage extends AbstractCappexPage {

// private WebElement switchToSSL; // private WebElement switchFromSSL; @FindBy(how = How.CSS, using = "input[name=email]") private WebElement userEmailAddress; @FindBy(how = How.CSS, using = "input[name=password]") private WebElement userPassword; @FindBy(how = How.CSS, using = "button[type=submit]") private WebElement loginButton; @FindBy(how = How.CSS, using = "a.fbLogInBtn.fbLoginLink") private WebElement faceBookSignUpLink; @FindBy(how = How.LINK_TEXT, using = "Forgotten Password?") private WebElement forgotPasswordLink;

private String LOCATOR_CSS_USER_EMAIL = "input[name=email]";
private String LOCATOR_CSS_USER_PASS1 = "input[name=password]";
private String LOCATOR_CSS_LOGIN_BUTTON = "button[type=submit]";
private String LOCATOR_CSS_SWITCH_TO_SSL = "a.miniBtn.switchToHTTPS";
private String LOCATOR_CSS_SWITCH_FROM_SSL = "a.miniBtn.switchFromHTTPS";

public CappexLoginPage()
{
    userEmailAddress = seleniumElementService.findExpectedElement(By.cssSelector(LOCATOR_CSS_USER_EMAIL));
    userPassword = seleniumElementService.findExpectedElement(By.cssSelector(LOCATOR_CSS_USER_PASS1));
    loginButton = seleniumElementService.findExpectedElement(By.cssSelector(LOCATOR_CSS_LOGIN_BUTTON));
}

public void submitLoginForm(String email, String password) {
    userEmailAddress.clear();
    userEmailAddress.sendKeys(email);
    userPassword.clear();
    userPassword.sendKeys(password);
    loginButton.click();
}

public void clickFacebookLink() {
    faceBookSignUpLink.click();
}

public void switchToSSL()
{
    seleniumElementService.findExpectedElement(By.cssSelector(LOCATOR_CSS_SWITCH_TO_SSL)).click();
}

}

I have added a reference in the modules ReferenceDataPopulator (renamed): public class CappexReferenceDataPopulator implements ReferenceServicePopulator {

public void populate(SenBotReferenceService referenceService) {

    /**
     * Setup all users references for testing
     */
    referenceService.addUser("admin", new GenericUser("1", "admin", "12345_password"));
    referenceService.addUser("regular user", new GenericUser(null, "regular", "6789_password"));
    referenceService.addUser("student", new GenericUser(null, "dadams.qa+cappexstu2@gmailtest.com", "password"));

    /**
     * Define the views
     */
    referenceService.addPageRepresentationReference("Cappex Abstract Page", AbstractCappexPage.class);
    referenceService.addPageRepresentationReference("Test page1", TestPage1.class);
    referenceService.addPageRepresentationReference("Cappex Login Page", CappexLoginPage.class);
    referenceService.addPageRepresentationReference("Cappex Home Page", CappexHomePage.class);

    /**
     * setup all page references
     */
    referenceService.addPageReference("Some page name", "/path/to/page.html");
    referenceService.addPageReference("Some other page name", "/path/to/other/page.html");

    /**
     * Reference locators
     */
    referenceService.addLocatorReference("Logical table name", By.xpath("//div[@id='containerId']//table"));
    referenceService.addLocatorReference("Logical header name", By.id("header"));

}

}

Am I making the correct assumption that I can do this?
