How to instantiate Spring managed beans at runtime?

Looks like I found a solution. As I am using java based configuration it is even simpler than you can imagine. Alternative way in xml would be lookup-method, however only from spring version 4.1.X as it supports passing arguments to the method.

Here is a complete working example:

public class Container {
    private List<RuntimeBean> runtimeBeans = new ArrayList<RuntimeBean>();
    private RuntimeBeanFactory runtimeBeanFactory;

    public void load() {
        // repeated several times depending on external data/environment
        runtimeBeans.add(createRuntimeBean("Some external info1"));
        runtimeBeans.add(createRuntimeBean("Some external info2"));
    }

    public RuntimeBean createRuntimeBean(String info) {
         // should create bean which internally can have some 
         // spring annotations or in other words
         // should be managed by spring
         return runtimeBeanFactory.createRuntimeBean(info);
    }

    public void setRuntimeBeanFactory(RuntimeBeanFactory runtimeBeanFactory) {
        this.runtimeBeanFactory = runtimeBeanFactory;
    }
}

public interface RuntimeBeanFactory {
    RuntimeBean createRuntimeBean(String info);
}

//and finally
@Configuration
public class ApplicationConfiguration {
    
    @Bean
    Container container() {
        Container container = new Container(beanToInject());
        container.setBeanRuntimeFactory(runtimeBeanFactory());
        return container;
    }
        
    // LOOK HOW IT IS SIMPLE IN THE JAVA CONFIGURATION
    @Bean 
    public BeanRuntimeFactory runtimeBeanFactory() {
        return new BeanRuntimeFactory() {
            public RuntimeBean createRuntimeBean(String beanName) {
                return runtimeBean(beanName);
            }
        };
    }
    
    @Bean
    @Scope(ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE)
    RuntimeBean runtimeBean(String beanName) {
        return new RuntimeBean(beanName);
    }
}

class RuntimeBean {
    @Autowired
    Container container;
}

That’s it.

Thanks everyone.
