Make a member of a bean available for autowiring












2














@Component
class MultiProvider {
public Foo getFoo();
public Bar getBar();
}

@Component
class FooConsumer {
FooConsumer(Foo f);
}


Can I have MultiProvider.getFoo() autowired into the FooConsumer constructor..




  • without making Foo a bean itself (for example, because Spring should not destroy it, since that is MultiProviders responsibility)

  • and without introducing a dependency from FooConsumer to MultiProvider (or any other class)?

You can achieve this simply by annotating getFoo() method in MultiProvider by @Bean



@Component
class MultiProvider {
@Bean(destroyMethodName="cleanup") // HERE IS THE TRICK
public Foo getFoo();
public Bar getBar();
}

@Component
class FooConsumer {
FooConsumer(Foo f);
}


if the problem comes from the point that spring can not properly destroy it you can include the logic inside cleanup method declared while annotating by @Bean



public class Foo {
public void cleanup() {
// destruction logic
}
}





Note that @component and @configurable are more or less the same with
some subtle differences but in your case you can use @component if you don't
want to change it. More Info

  • I've reworded my question a bit. I didn't want Spring to destroy Foo because that is MultiProviders responsibility. However, since destroy should be idempotent anyway (in my current opinion at least :P ) I was just being pedantic, and this is how I've solved it indeed (but without the custom destroyMethodName)

  • I don't know if its relevant, but you can specify Foo as a bean and add a close() method with your destroy logic so spring will destroy it correctly. Then you can maybe define it as a bean and autowire it - stackoverflow.com/a/44757112/4473822

You can include them in your Configuration.



@Configuration
class MyConfig {
@Bean
public MultiProvider getMP() {
return new MultiProvider() ;
}
@Bean
public Foo getFoo() {
return getMP(). getFoo();
}
}


Not sure if that violates your 'not a Bean itself' rule.
