In the below example, when the annotation is directly used on properties, Spring looks for and injects Department when Employee is created. After that, it can be used on modes like properties, setters, and constructors. public class Department Īs an alternative, we can use below XML-based configuration in Spring: After that, we will initialize this property value in the Spring bean configuration file.
Department will have department name property with getter and setter methods. We’ll create a simple Java Bean, named Department. Note: Autodetect functionality will work with the 2.5 and 2.0 schemas. In the following case, since there is a Department object in the Employee class, Spring autowires it using byType via the setter method – setDepartment(Department department). If there is no constructor defined in a bean, the autowire byType mode is chosen.
If it is found, then the constructor mode is chosen. First, it will look for valid constructor with arguments. Īutowiring by autodetect uses two modes, i.e. Therefore, Spring autowires it using the constructor method – public Employee(Department department). The data type of department bean is the same as the constructor argument data type in the employee bean’s property (Department object). If exactly one bean of the constructor argument type is not present in the container, a fatal error will be raised. It will look for the class type of constructor arguments, and then do an autowire byType on all constructor arguments. Īutowiring by constructor is similar to byType but it applies to constructor arguments. In this case, the data type of the department bean is same as the data type of the employee bean’s property (Department object) therefore, Spring will autowire it via the setter method – setDepartment(Department department). It injects the property if such bean is found otherwise, an error is raised. It searches the property’s class type in the configuration file. This option enables the autowire based on bean type. In this case, the name of the department bean is the same as the employee bean’s property (Department), so Spring will be autowired to it via the setter method – setDepartment(Department department). However, if no such bean is found, an error is raised. If found, this bean is injected in the property. Spring looks up the configuration file for a matching bean name. This option enables autowire based on bean names. If this fails, it tries to autowire by using byType. autodetect: In this mode, Spring first tries to autowire by the constructor.It calls the constructor having a large number of parameters. constructor: The constructor mode injects the dependency by calling the constructor of the class.So it can have a different property and bean name. byType: The byType mode injects the object dependency according to type.In such a case, the property and bean name should be the same. byName: The byName mode injects the object dependency according to name of the bean.Spring supports the following autowiring modes: The XML-configuration-based autowiring functionality has five modes – no, byName, byType, constructor, and autodetect. So, Spring is able to utilize the BeanFactory to know the dependencies across all the used beans. This can be done by declaring all the bean dependencies in Spring configuration file. Spring provides a way to automatically detect the relationships between various beans.
Finally, we’ll look at the annotation with its different modes.Then, we’ll look at the different modes of autowiring using XML configuration.First, we’ll begin with a brief introduction on autowiring.
