Spring: get all Beans of certain interface AND type

In my Spring Boot application, suppose I have interface in Java:

public interface MyFilter<E extends SomeDataInterface>

(a good example is Spring's public interface ApplicationListener< E extends ApplicationEvent > )

and I have couple of implementations like:

@Component
public class DesignatedFilter1 implements MyFilter<SpecificDataInterface>{...}

@Component
public class DesignatedFilter2 implements MyFilter<SpecificDataInterface>{...}

@Component
public class DesignatedFilter3 implements MyFilter<AnotherSpecificDataInterface>{...}

Then, in some object I am interested to utilize all filters that implement MyFilter< SpecificDataInterface > but NOT MyFilter< AnotherSpecificDataInterface >

What would be the syntax for this?

Solution

  • The following will inject every MyFilter instance that has a type that extends SpecificDataInterface as generic argument into the List. 

    @Autowired
private List<MyFilter<? extends SpecificDataInterface>> list;
