Get bean of @Service annotated class?
java, spring, spring-annotations, spring-mvc, web-applications
Solution
If you are using annotation-based configuration, you use `@Autowired` to get the bean by its type or `@Resource` to get the bean by its name. Use only one of these for any particular property (to keep confusion down).
@Autowired
private ServerConnection connection;
@Resource(name = "con")
private ServerConnection connection;
There's also `@Inject`, but I don't like that as it gets less nice as the number of beans goes up. YMMV.
Problem
In my web application, I am not using `applicationContext.xml`. How can I get the bean of `@Service` annotated class? If I used the `applicationContext.xml` in my web application, I have to load the `applicationContext.xml` every time to get the bean of the `@Service` annotated class. I used this way ``` WebApplicationContext ctx = WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(getServletContext); ServerConnection con = (ServerConnection ) ctx.getBean("con"); ``` My Service class will be as , ``` @Service or @Service("con") public class ServerConnection { private TServerProtocol tServerProtocol; private URI uri; public TServerProtocol getServerConnection(){ System.out.println("host :"+host+"\nport :"+port); try { uri = new URI("tcp://" + host + ":" + port); } catch (URISyntaxException e) { System.out.println("Exception in xreating URI Path"); } tServerProtocol = new TServerProtocol(new Endpoint(uri)); return tServerProtocol; } } ``` Is there any other way to get a bean of this class ? or What is the proper way to get a bean of `@Service` annotated class in case of core application and web application in Spring3.x?
