This works. You can leave off the service names if you just use the default spring bean name. serviceA vs ServiceA, etc.
@Controller
class MyController {
@Autowired(required=false)
@Qualifier("Service")
Service service;
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("app-ctx.xml", MyController.class);
for(String s:context.getBeanDefinitionNames()){
System.out.println(s);
for(String t:context.getAliases(s)){
System.out.println("\t" + t);
}
}
context.getBean(MyController.class).service.print();
}
}
public interface Service {
void print();
}
@Service(value="ServiceA")
public class ServiceA implements example.Service {
public void print() {
System.out.println("printing ServiceA.print()");
}
}
@Service(value="ServiceB")
public class ServiceB implements example.Service {
public void print() {
System.out.println("printing ServiceB.print()");
}
}
XML:
<beans>
<alias name="${service.class}" alias="Service"/>
<context:property-placeholder location="example/app.properties"/>
<context:component-scan base-package="example"/>
<beans>
Props:
service.class=ServiceB
