Spring3's #Configuration cannot #Inject component-scanned beans - spring

This is my app.xml :
<context:component-scan base-package="destiny.web" />
<context:annotation-config/>
And there is a Dao(interface) , and DaoImpl (annotated with #Repository) inside destiny.web package.
There is another Spring3's destiny.web.AppConfig class :
#Configuration
public class AppConfig
{
#Inject
private Dao daoImpl
public AppConfig()
{
System.out.println("dao = " + daoImpl);
}
}
It prints 'null' , why ?
I am sure all these beans/configuration/repositories are scanned. But it seems #Configuration doesn't know other scanned beans . Did I miss anything ?
I try to solve it by #ImportResource :
#Configuration
#ImportResource("classpath:app.xml")
public class AppConfig
But it seems causing cyclic bean scan and throws this exception :
{main} org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Only one AsyncAnnotationBeanPostProcessor may exist within the context.
Offending resource: class path resource [app.xml]
How to solve it ?
Thanks.

Spring will invoke constructor firstly before inject / autowiring the other component. therefore your dao is null while you print at the constructor, because the dao still not injected yet.
Have a try to create test application for your configapp.
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext context =
new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("stackoverflow.xml");
AppConfig appConfig = context.getBean(AppConfig.class);
appConfig.getConfig("smtp.host");
}
}

have you tried it also with the annotation #Autowired instead of #Inject?

Must #ComponentScan be placed with #Configuration? (Spring Core)

I read inside many articles that #ComponentScan should be placed with #Configuration on top of a class. Here some references:
we use the #ComponentScan annotation along with #Configuration
annotation to specify the packages that we want to be scanned
(https://www.baeldung.com/spring-component-scanning)
#ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.zetcode") #Configuration public
class Application { ... } (http://zetcode.com/spring/componentscan)
The #ComponentScan annotation is used with the #Configuration
annotation to tell Spring the packages to scan for annotated
components. (https://dzone.com/articles/spring-component-scan)
I was curious to try if without #Configuration an exception would have been thrown. Surprisingly everything works fine even without #Configuration. Here the code:
#ComponentScan
public class AppConfig {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(AppConfig.class);
for (String beanDefinitionName : context.getBeanDefinitionNames()) {
System.out.println(beanDefinitionName);
}
}
}
I had just one sample bean which got printed.
#Component
public class Car {
}
This was the output of the main method:
org.springframework.context.annotation.internalConfigurationAnnotationProcessor
org.springframework.context.annotation.internalAutowiredAnnotationProcessor
org.springframework.context.annotation.internalCommonAnnotationProcessor
org.springframework.context.event.internalEventListenerProcessor
org.springframework.context.event.internalEventListenerFactory
appConfig
car
Why does it work? and why do they tell to use it with configuration? was it an old requirement?
And even more surprisingly appConfig becomes a bean, even if it does not have any particular annotation such as #Configuration or #Component. So does that mean that anything that gets put as argument of new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext() gets turned into a bean no matter what annotation does it has or has not?
I probably miss some core spring behavior which would justify this. Any idea?
You are still using #Configuration together with #ComponentScan implicitly. By pasing the AppConfig.class as param to the context, it considers it configuration. That would explain the bean created for it as well

Why spring boot does not load beans configuration in order?

When i try to run a spring boot project, it tolde me that it can not autowire some beans whitch are instanciated in a configuration classes.
I think that spring can not load those configuration classes in order.
The stack trace : no bean found the be autowired Ignite<Long,MyEntity> myEntityCache in MyDao
Here is the source :
The main class
#SpringBootApplication
// The beans in the IgniteConfig have to be loaded before dao, service, and Controller
#ComponentScan(basePackageClasses={IgniteConfig.class,AppConfig.class})
public class DemoIgnite {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(DemoIgnite .class, args);
}
}
Config Class 1
#Configuration
public class IgniteConfig {
#Bean
public SpringContext springContext() {
return new SpringContext();
}
#Bean
public Ignite igniteInstance(#Autowired SpringContext springContext) {
IgniteConfiguration cfg = new IgniteConfiguration();
cfg.setIgniteInstanceName("instance");
List<CacheConfiguration> ccDas = new ArrayList<>();
CacheConfiguration cch = new CacheConfiguration<>("myEntitycache");
cch.setCacheMode(CacheMode.REPLICATED);
cch.setIndexedTypes(Long.class, myEntity.class);
ccDas.add(cch);
cfg.setCacheConfiguration( ccDas.toArray(new CacheConfiguration[0]));
SpringCacheManager springCacheManager = new SpringCacheManager();
springCacheManager.setConfiguration(cfg);
return Ignition.start(cfg);
}
#Bean
public IgniteCache<Long, MyEntity> myEntityCache(#Autowired Ignite igniteInstance) {
return igniteInstance.cache("myEntitycache");
}
Config class 2
#Configuration
#ComponentScan({
"com.demo.repository",
"com.demo.service",
"com.demo.controller"
})
public class AppConfig {
}
Dao class
#Repository
public class MyDao{
#Autowired
private Ignite<Long,MyEntity> myEntityCache;
...
Service class:
#Service
public class MyService{
#Autowird
private MyDao dao;
...
Controller class:
#RestController
#RequestMapping
public class MyController{
#Autowired
private MyService service;
....
This means that you don't have a bean of Ignite<Long,MyEntity> type in your context. Moreover springContext bean seems redundant, it's not used by igniteInstance bean. As pointed out by moilejter it probably should be:
IgniteConfig
#Bean
public Ignite ignite() {
...
}
#Bean
public IgniteCache<Long, MyEntity> myEntityCache() {
return ignite().cache("myEntitycache");
}
MyDao
#Repository
public class MyDao {
#Autowired
private IgniteCache<Long, MyEntity> myEntityCache;
...
}
In principle Spring performs the bean setup in few phases as explained in chapter 1.3.2. Instantiating Beans docs:
Bean definition discovery - resources like #Configuration classes or XML files are scanned and bean signatures are collected.
Eager beans instantiation e.g. singletons - from the definitions collected in point 1 while resolving dependencies between definitions. That's why there is no explicit bean instantiation order as the process is driven from dependencies.
Lazy beans instantiation e.g. #Lazy annotated - when the context is already up, this beans will be constructed only when accessed from code.

Spring: What happens when we move #ComponentScan to another class in the package?

I have the following classes:
#ComponentScan
public class CDPlayerConfig {
#Autowired
private static CompactDisc cd;
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(CDPlayerConfig.class);
CompactDisc cd = context.getBean(CompactDisc.class);
System.out.println(cd);
}
}
public interface CompactDisc {
void play();
}
#Component
public class SgtPeppers implements CompactDisc {
public void play() {
System.out.println("play song....");
}
}
When I run the class CDPlayerConfig, the program runs successfully. However, if I remove the ComponentScan annotation to CompactDisc interface or SgtPeppers I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main"
org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No
qualifying bean of type 'CompactDisc' available
I think that ComponentScan annotation marks the package where Spring looks for beans. CDPlayerConfig, CompactDisc and SgtPeppers are all placed in the same package, so allegedly moving ComponentScan annotation from one class to another should not make a difference.
If so, why do I get an error?
For #ComponentScan to work you have to "tell" spring where to search, or it must find it with help of other, already loaded, #ComponentScan annotated class (your class must be then annotated also with #Component, #Configuration etc. so it could be found).
In your case, you register application context in the first line of main method - you have specified there to load CDPlayerConfig.class which is #ComponentScan annotated so now spring can automatically find other beans in the package:
ApplicationContext context =
new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(CDPlayerConfig.class);
If you want to move #ComponentScan to another class, you have to change class registered in AnnotationConfigApplicationContext to some #ComponentScan annotated class:
SgtPeppers:
#Component
#ComponentScan
public class SgtPeppers implements CompactDisc {
(...)
Main in CDPlayerConfig:
ApplicationContext context =
new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(SgtPeppers.class);
Note you should register context from concrete classes (not interfaces).
Also, above sample would work even without #ComponentScan annotation on SgtPeppers, but then beans defined in other classes from the package wouldn't be found.

#Autowired not working in spring Integration

In service implementation,with help of #Autowired i am injecting CollectInfo object in serviceImpl but i am getting NullPointerException.
package net.group.cts.service.serviceImpl;
#Service
public class EmployeeImpl implements EmployeeService {
#Autowired
CollectInfo info;
public void processData(){
info.getName();
}
}
package net.group.cts.model;
#Component
public class CollectInfo (){
String name;
public String getName(){
name = name + "Mr.";
return name;}
}
}
Xmlconfig.xml
<context:annotation-config/>
<context:component-scan base-package="net.group.cts"/>
<bean id="info" class="net.group.emp.model.CollectInfo "/>
You cannot inject a bean in a class if this class is not a Spring bean.
EmployeeImpl is not annotated with any Spring bean stereotype such as #Component or #Service.
Add one of them on EmployeeImpl and ensure that the two classes are located inside the package scanned by Spring <context:component-scan base-package="net.group.emp.service"/>
and it should be ok.
Besides, both annotating a bean with #Component :
#Component
public class CollectInfo (){...}
and configuring it in the Spring xml configuration :
<bean id="info" class="net.group.emp.model.CollectInfo "/>
is redundant. It will finally create two beans : one name collectInfo and another named info.
I advise you to favor annotation over xml configuration as it is possible (it is the very most of cases).

#Autowired dependencies are null in compile time weaving of #Aspect class [duplicate]

I have the following spring configuration:
<context:component-scan base-package="uk.co.mysite.googlecontactsync.aop"/>
<bean name="simpleEmailSender" class="uk.co.mysite.util.email.simple.SimpleEmailSenderImplementation"/>
<aop:aspectj-autoproxy/>
Then I have an aspect:
#Aspect
public class SyncLoggingAspect {
#Autowired
private SimpleEmailSender simpleEmailSender
#AfterReturning(value="execution(* uk.co.mysite.datasync.polling.Poller+.doPoll())", returning="pusher")
public void afterPoll(Pusher pusher) {
simpleEmailSender.send(new PusherEmail(pusher));
}
}
This aspect works (I can hit a breakpoint on afterPoll) but simpleEmailSender is null. Unfortunately I cannot find clear documentation on why this is. (For the record, my simpleEmailSender bean exists and is correctly wired into other classes) The following things confuse me:
Is context:component-scan supposed to be picking up #Aspect? If it is then surely it would be a spring managed bean, thus autowired should work?
If context:component-scan isn't for creating aspects, how is my aspect being created? I thought aop:aspectj-autoproxy just creates a beanPostProcessor to proxy my #Aspect class? How would it do this if it isn't a spring managed bean?
Obviously you can tell I don't have an understanding of how things should be working from the ground up.
The aspect is a singleton object and is created outside the Spring container. A solution with XML configuration is to use Spring's factory method to retrieve the aspect.
<bean id="syncLoggingAspect" class="uk.co.demo.SyncLoggingAspect"
factory-method="aspectOf" />
With this configuration the aspect will be treated as any other Spring bean and the autowiring will work as normal.
You have to use the factory-method also on Enum objects and other objects without a constructor or objects that are created outside the Spring container.
For Spring Boot to use #Autowired with AspectJ I have found the following method.
In configuration class add your aspect:
#Configuration
#ComponentScan("com.kirillch.eqrul")
public class AspectConfig {
#Bean
public EmailAspect theAspect() {
EmailAspect aspect = Aspects.aspectOf(EmailAspect.class);
return aspect;
}
}
Then you can successfully autowire your services in your aspect class:
#Aspect
public class EmailAspect {
#Autowired
EmailService emailService;
Another option is to add #Configurable to your aspect class instead of messing around with XML.
Configuring #Autowired with java config only (so no XML based configuration) requires a bit of extra work than just adding #Configuration to the class, as it also needs the aspectOf method.
What worked for me was creating a new class:
#Component
public class SpringApplicationContextHolder implements ApplicationContextAware {
private static ApplicationContext applicationContext = null;
public static ApplicationContext getApplicationContext() {
return applicationContext;
}
#Override
public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext) throws BeansException {
this.applicationContext = applicationContext;
}
}
And then use that in you aspect in conjunction with using #DependsOn #Configured and #Autowired:
#DependsOn("springApplicationContextHolder")
#Configuration
#Aspect
public class SomeAspect {
#Autowired
private SomeBean someBean;
public static SomeAspect aspectOf() {
return SpringApplicationContextHolder.getApplicationContext().getBean(SomeAspect.class);
}
The #DependsOn is needed because spring can't determine the dependency because the bean is used staticly.
I dont have 50 rep to comment on a question so here is another answer relating to #
Jitendra Vispute answer.
The official Spring doc mentions:
You may register aspect classes as regular beans in your Spring XML configuration, or autodetect them through classpath scanning - just like any other Spring-managed bean. However, note that the #Aspect annotation is not sufficient for autodetection in the classpath: For that purpose, you need to add a separate #Component annotation (or alternatively a custom stereotype annotation that qualifies, as per the rules of Spring’s component scanner).Source: Spring '4.1.7.Release' documentation.
This would mean that adding a #Component annotation and adding the #ComponentScan on your Configuration would make #Jitendra Vispute's example work. For the spring boot aop sample it worked, though I did not mess around with context refreshing.Spring boot aop sample:
Application:
package sample.aop;
#SpringBootApplication
public class SampleAopApplication implements CommandLineRunner {
// Simple example shows how an application can spy on itself with AOP
#Autowired
private HelloWorldService helloWorldService;
#Override
public void run(String... args) {
System.out.println(this.helloWorldService.getHelloMessage());
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SpringApplication.run(SampleAopApplication.class, args);
}
}
The application should also run as plain Spring Framework application with the following annotations instead of #SpringBootApplication:
#Configuration
#EnableAspectJAutoProxy
#ComponentScan
and an AnnotationConfigApplicationContext instead of SpringApplication.
Service:
package sample.aop.service;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
#Component
public class HelloWorldService {
#Value("${name:World}")
private String name;
public String getHelloMessage() {
return "Hello " + this.name;
}
}
Monitor Aspect:
package sample.aop.monitor;
import org.aspectj.lang.JoinPoint;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.AfterReturning;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
#Aspect
#Component
public class ServiceMonitor {
#AfterReturning("execution(* sample..*Service.*(..))")
public void logServiceAccess(JoinPoint joinPoint) {
System.out.println("Completed: " + joinPoint);
}
}
This blog post explains it really well. Due to the fact that aspect singleton is created outside spring container you'd need to use factory-method=”aspectOf” that is only available after it is woven in by AspectJ ( not Spring AOP ) :
Notice factory-method=”aspectOf” that tells Spring to use a real
AspectJ ( not Spring AOP ) aspect to create this bean. So that after
the aspect is woven in it has an
“aspectOf” method.
So that :
No matching factory method found: factory method 'aspectOf()' - That
would mean that the aspect was not woven by AspectJ weaver.
From my experience with spring 3.1, if I don't use #Autowired but traditional setter for dependency injection, it gets injected and works as expected without aspectJ weaver. Although I'm encountering problems with the aspect being singleton... It results in 'perthis' instantiation model.
.
Add #Component to aspect class and your dependencies should get injected automatically.
and add context:component-scan for package where your aspect is in spring context file.
#Component
#Aspect
public class SomeAspect {
/* following dependency should get injected */
#Autowired
SomeTask someTask;
/* rest of code */
}
Use compile time weaving, see for plugin example at: https://github.com/avner-levy/minimal_spring_hibernate_maven_setup/blob/master/pom.xml
The following combination of annotation and Spring config works for me thanks to notes above by Tobias/Willie/Eric:
Class:
package com.abc
#Configurable
#Aspect
public class MyAspect {
#Autowired
protected SomeType someAutoWiredField;
}
XML:
<context:spring-configured />
<context:component-scan base-package="com.abc" />
#Configurable(autowire = Autowire.BY_TYPE)
Add this annotation to your Aspectj class. Then it will be handled by Spring IOC.
For Spring Boot using #Autowired in #Aspect,
my way is using spring.factories configuration file
create a file named spring.factories in src/main/resources
the file content is as following
org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration=pack.age.to.YourAspect,pack.age.to.YourDAO
