Using CustomAutowireConfigurer
CustomAutowireConfigurer
is a BeanFactoryPostProcessor
that lets you register your own custom qualifier
annotation types, even if they are not annotated with Spring’s @Qualifier
annotation.
The following example shows how to use CustomAutowireConfigurer
:
<bean id="customAutowireConfigurer"
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.CustomAutowireConfigurer">
<property name="customQualifierTypes">
<set>
<value>example.CustomQualifier</value>
</set>
</property>
</bean>
The AutowireCandidateResolver
determines autowire candidates by:
-
The
autowire-candidate
value of each bean definition -
Any
default-autowire-candidates
patterns available on the<beans/>
element -
The presence of
@Qualifier
annotations and any custom annotations registered with theCustomAutowireConfigurer
When multiple beans qualify as autowire candidates, the determination of a “primary” is
as follows: If exactly one bean definition among the candidates has a primary
attribute set to true
, it is selected.
