HK2 does not see Spring Beans

Question

I have a Spring Boot application with Jersey 2 REST services. Spring Boot seems to initialize correctly and I have Jersey Spring bridge ('org.glassfish.jersey.ext:jersey-spring3:2.22.2'). Despite this the following error is thrown then REST controller (JAX-RS 2.0) is initialized and a Spring Bean have to be injected into it.

org.glassfish.hk2.api.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: There was no object available for injection

What can cause such error?

The bean is exist and annotated with @Named, so it is not the issue. Spring Boot by default scans for JSR-330 annotations too.

Edit: initialization is done using:

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {

@Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
    return application.sources(Application.class);
}
}

web.xml

The controller is:

@Named
@Singleton
@Path("/RequestEndEvent")
public class RequestEndEventController {

    private final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass());
    @Inject
    private RequestEndEventLogger logger;

    @POST
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Response sendRequestEndEvent(RequestEndEvent requestEndEvent) {
        logger.addRequestEndEvent(requestEndEvent);
        return Response.status(Response.Status.OK).build();
    }
}

Answer 1

The actual problem was something discovered in the comments (it was not shown in the original question).

With @SpringBootApplication (an alias for three annotations, including @ComponentScan), you get free component scan with Spring. But how component scan works (with out specifying packages to scan) is that it will scan the package of the @ComponentScan annotated class, and it's sub-packages. For this reason, it is recommended to put the "application" class in a root package, and have all the other packages as sub-packages of that package, e.g

com.app
   Application
com.app.services
   LoggingService
com.app.repos
   UserRepo 

With this set up, all the packages get scanned for annotated components classes. I guess the OP did not have it set up this way, so the Spring components weren't getting picked up in the scan.
