Spring interceptor dependency injection - spring-mvc

Question

I have springmvc and angularjs app up and running.
In Springmvc i have a bean named userSessionBean.
Now i am adding an interceptor to spring mvc and in its pre handel method i am trying to access userSessionBean.
My question is "Can i inject userSessionBean inside interceptor "
/**
*
*/
package com.loginLite.remote.authentication.interceptors;
import java.util.Random;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerInterceptor;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
import com.remote.authentication.model.UserSessionBean;
/**
* #author jamju02
*
*/
public class AuthenticationInteceptor implements HandlerInterceptor {
#Autowired
private UserSessionBean userSessionBean = null;
/**
* #return the userSessionBean
*/
public UserSessionBean getUserSessionBean() {
return userSessionBean;
}
/**
* #param userSessionBean the userSessionBean to set
*/
public void setUserSessionBean(UserSessionBean userSessionBean) {
userSessionBean = userSessionBean;
}
#Override
public boolean preHandle(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, Object handler) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Pre-handle");
return true;
}
#Override
public void postHandle(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, Object handler,
ModelAndView modelAndView) throws Exception {
Random rnd = new Random();
int tokenNumber = 100000 + rnd.nextInt(900000);
userSessionBean.setAuthTokenNumber(String.valueOf(tokenNumber));
response.addHeader("AUTH_TOKEN",userSessionBean.getAuthTokenNumber());
System.out.println("Post-handle");
}
#Override
public void afterCompletion(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, Object handler, Exception ex)
throws Exception {
System.out.println("After completion handle");
}
}
My dispatcher servlet
<mvc:interceptors>
<bean class="com.paychex.loginLite.remote.authentication.interceptors.AuthenticationInteceptor">
<property name="userSessionBean" ref="userSessionBean"></property>
</bean>
</mvc:interceptors>
<bean id="userSessionBean"
class="com.paychex.loginLite.remote.authentication.model.UserSessionBean"
scope="session">
<aop:scoped-proxy />
</bean>

Answer 1

I was finally able to solve the issue which i was troubling me.
The mistake was, i was implementing the interface "HandlerInterceptor" for my interceptor class, as soon as i removed the interface and extended class "HandlerInterceptorAdapter" dependency injection started working fine.
