I’d suggest marking the Hibernate DAO class with @Primary
, i.e. (assuming you used @Repository
on HibernateDeviceDao
):
@Primary
@Repository
public class HibernateDeviceDao implements DeviceDao
This way it will be selected as the default autowire candididate, with no need to autowire-candidate
on the other bean.
Also, rather than using @Autowired @Qualifier
, I find it more elegant to use @Resource
for picking specific beans, i.e.
@Resource(name="jdbcDeviceDao")
DeviceDao deviceDao;
