java - Injecting MessageSource into an Enum -

i trying use enum form:select such:

<form:select path="myenum">   <form:options itemlabel="resourcebundlelabel" /> </form:select> 

with enum looks like:

public enum myenum {   one("rb.one"), two("rb.two");    private messagesource messagesource;    private string rbkey;    public string getresourcebundlelabel() {     httpservletrequest request = ((servletrequestattributes) requestcontextholder.getrequestattributes()).getrequest();     locale locale = request.getlocale();     return messagesource.getmessage(this.rbkey, null, locale);   }    public myenum(string rbkey) {     this.rbkey = rbkey;   } } 

the problem can't seem figure out how messagesource injected. tried adding @component , @autowired (got error because there no default constructor. tried switching @component @configurable. tried removing both annotation, , implementing messagesourceaware. in cases, messagesource null when inside getresourcebundlelable().

ultimately, trying accomplish build out select options using enum, make such uses proper resource bundle , local. wasting time on not feasible?

see answer here how inject dependencies enums minimal plumbing.
