@Autowired needs Application Server?

[Mimmo Ludovico]

Is the use of the application server mandatory to use the Annotation @Autowired?

[Jesper de Jong]

No, you do not need an application server for @Autowired to work. You do need to properly initialize a Spring application context, however.

[Mimmo Ludovico]

Spring application context can work outside the Apllication Server? in case of yes then when it is needed the Application Server?

[Mohammed Sardar.]

When we want our application to communicate with browser we want Application Server.

1. If we want to receive a URL Request from browser and dispatch it to a Front End Controller we want Application Server.

2. If we want our Spring enabled application wants to response back we need Server.
