I have created my new custom annotation @MyCustomAnnotation
:
@Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface MyCustomAnnotation {
}
I applied that annotation on component and bean. Here is the code,
@MyCustomAnnotation
@Component
public class CoreBusinessLogicHandler implements GenericHandler<BusinessFile> {
// some business logic
}
And
@Configuration
public class BusinessConfig {
@Autowired
private CoreIntegrationComponent coreIntegrationComponent;
@MyCustomAnnotation
@Bean(name = INCOMING_PROCESS_CHANNEL)
public MessageChannel incomingProcessChannel() {
return coreIntegrationComponent.amqpChannel(INCOMING_PROCESS_CHANNEL);
}
//some other configurations
}
Now I want all the beans annotated with @MyCustomAnnotation
. Here is the code:
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
@Configuration
public class ChannelConfig {
@Autowired
private ApplicationContext applicationContext;
public List<MessageChannel> getRecipientChannel(CoreIntegrationComponent coreIntegrationComponent) {
String[] beanNamesForAnnotation = applicationContext.getBeanNamesForAnnotation(MyCustomAnnotation.class);
//Here in output I am getting bean name for CoreBusinessLogicHandler Only.
}
}
My question is why I am not getting Bean with name 'INCOMING_PROCESS_CHANNEL' as it has @MyCustomAnnotation
? If I want to get bean with name 'INCOMING_PROCESS_CHANNEL' what code changes should I do?
This happens because your bean does not receive this annotation as you have placed it on a "bean definition configuration". So it is available but only through BeanFactory and beanDefinitions. You can either put the annotation on your bean class or write a custom method that would do the searching using bean factory.
