public class RequiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor extends InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessorAdapter implements MergedBeanDefinitionPostProcessor, PriorityOrdered, BeanFactoryAware
BeanPostProcessor
implementation
that enforces required JavaBean properties to have been configured.
Required bean properties are detected through a Java 5 annotation:
by default, Spring's Required
annotation.
The motivation for the existence of this BeanPostProcessor is to allow developers to annotate the setter properties of their own classes with an arbitrary JDK 1.5 annotation to indicate that the container must check for the configuration of a dependency injected value. This neatly pushes responsibility for such checking onto the container (where it arguably belongs), and obviates the need (in part) for a developer to code a method that simply checks that all required properties have actually been set.
Please note that an 'init' method may still need to implemented (and may
still be desirable), because all that this class does is enforce that a
'required' property has actually been configured with a value. It does
not check anything else... In particular, it does not check that a
configured value is not null
.
Note: A default RequiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor will be registered by the "context:annotation-config" and "context:component-scan" XML tags. Remove or turn off the default annotation configuration there if you intend to specify a custom RequiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor bean definition.

public void setRequiredAnnotationType(Class<? extends Annotation> requiredAnnotationType)
The default required annotation type is the Spring-provided
Required
annotation.
This setter property exists so that developers can provide their own (non-Spring-specific) annotation type to indicate that a property value is required.

BeanFactoryAware
Invoked after the population of normal bean properties
but before an initialization callback such as
InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet()
or a custom init-method.

- owning BeanFactory (never null
).

public void setOrder(int order)
public int getOrder()
Ordered
Normally starting with 0, with Integer.MAX_VALUE
indicating the greatest value. Same order values will result
in arbitrary positions for the affected objects.
Higher values can be interpreted as lower priority. As a consequence, the object with the lowest value has highest priority (somewhat analogous to Servlet "load-on-startup" values).

Also allows for replacing the property values to apply, typically through creating a new MutablePropertyValues instance based on the original PropertyValues, adding or removing specific values.

protected boolean shouldSkip(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory, String beanName)
The default implementations check for the presence of the
SKIP_REQUIRED_CHECK_ATTRIBUTE
attribute in the bean definition, if any.
It also suggests skipping in case of a bean definition with a "factory-bean"
reference set, assuming that instance-based factories pre-populate the bean.
