In Spring 5, I am able to use a properties file to inject values into fields using the Values annotation. I assumed that the same can be done using the Qualifier annotation, but it doesn't work, instead I have to do the following
import java.lang.annotation.Annotation;
import org.springframework.beans.TypeConverter;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.QualifierAnnotationAutowireCandidateResolver;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanDefinitionHolder;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanFactoryPostProcessor;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableListableBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
@Component
public class AutowireCandidateResolverConfigurer implements BeanFactoryPostProcessor {
private static class EnvironmentAwareQualifierAnnotationAutowireCandidateResolver extends QualifierAnnotationAutowireCandidateResolver {
private static class ResolvedQualifier implements Qualifier {
private final String value;
ResolvedQualifier(String value) { this.value = value; }
@Override
public String value() { return this.value; }
@Override
public Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType() { return Qualifier.class; }
}
@Override
protected boolean checkQualifier(BeanDefinitionHolder bdHolder, Annotation annotation, TypeConverter typeConverter) {
if (annotation instanceof Qualifier) {
Qualifier qualifier = (Qualifier) annotation;
if (qualifier.value().startsWith("${") && qualifier.value().endsWith("}")) {
DefaultListableBeanFactory bf = (DefaultListableBeanFactory) this.getBeanFactory();
ResolvedQualifier resolvedQualifier = new ResolvedQualifier(bf.resolveEmbeddedValue(qualifier.value()));
return super.checkQualifier(bdHolder, resolvedQualifier, typeConverter);
}
}
return super.checkQualifier(bdHolder, annotation, typeConverter);
}
}
public void postProcessBeanFactory(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) {
DefaultListableBeanFactory bf = (DefaultListableBeanFactory) beanFactory;
bf.setAutowireCandidateResolver(new EnvironmentAwareQualifierAnnotationAutowireCandidateResolver());
}
}
This is something I found here: How to read Qualifier from property file in spring boot?
I am very new to Spring, so I might be missing something, but isn't this an issue?
