Autowired in WS not working Spring

Autowired in WS not working Spring

I have implemented a WS using Jax-ws in my server project and I'm making
the calls to the service from a client application. The problem is that if
I want to use @Autowire inside my @WebService annotated class it always
throws the following error:
InjectionException: Error creating managed object for class: class
com.myco.wsserver.LeaveRequestEndPoint;
if I debug that class, the reference to my autowired bean is null. if I
remove the bean from my @webservice annotated class it works , also if I
get the application context manually and then get the bean it also works,
but I would like to know why I can't Autowire any bean.
Here is my code.
WebService class:
@WebService(serviceName="LeaveRequestHandler")
public class LeaveRequestEndPoint extends SpringBeanAutowiringSupport{
@Autowired
GenericBean mBean;
public LeaveRequestEndPoint(GenericBean mBean){
this.mBean = mBean;
}
@WebMethod(operationName="executeOperation")
public String getText() {
return mBean.getText();
}
}
application context:
