Is context:annotation-config an alternative to @AutoWired?
- by Antacid
Is it correct that I can put context:annotation-config in my XML config and it will automatically inject the bean class without needing any annotations?
So instead of using these annotation types:
public class Mailman
{
private String name;
@Autowired
private Parcel Parcel;
public Mailman(String name)
{
this.name = name;
}
@Autowired
public void setParcel(Parcel Parcel)
{
this.Parcel = Parcel;
}
@Autowired
public void directionsToParcel(Parcel Parcel)
{
this.Parcel = Parcel;
}
}
I would just need to write this:
<beans ... >
<bean id="mailMan" class="MailMan">
<constructor-arg value="John Doe"/>
</bean>
<bean id="parcel" class="Parcel" />
<context:annotation-config />
</beans>
and then my MailMan class would look a lot simpler without the need for annotations:
public class Mailman
{
private String name;
private Parcel Parcel;
public Mailman(String name)
{
this.name = name;
}
}
