Java Config @Bean not autowired in other @Configuration class

Trying to setup a Spring 4 web application with Java Config, I encounter a problem with autowiring a bean created in a configuration class into another configuration class. The 'dataSource' bean has a null value in the MyBatisConfig class. This seems to be the only bean in the configuration that doesn't get wired properly. Looking at the Spring debug logs (see last part of logs in the last code block below) it looks instantiated properly, but also seems to be destroyed?. What could be wrong in my configuration? PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurerConfig class: ``` package nl.somesite.teamshot.config; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration; import org.springframework.context.support.PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer; import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource; @Configuration public class PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurerConfig { @Bean public PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer propertyConfigurer() { PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer propertyConfigurer = new PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer(); propertyConfigurer.setLocation(new ClassPathResource("application.properties")); /*propertyConfigurer.setLocation(new ClassPathResource("file:${catalina.home}/conf/application.properties")); propertyConfigurer.setLocation(new ClassPathResource("/var/lib/openshift/517874b8e0b8cd218e000391/app-root/data/apache-tomcat-7.0.39/conf/application.properties"));*/ propertyConfigurer.setIgnoreUnresolvablePlaceholders(false); propertyConfigurer.setIgnoreResourceNotFound(true); return propertyConfigurer; } } ``` DbConfig class: ``` package nl.somesite.teamshot.config; import org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource; import
