Can you use @Autowired with static fields?

@Component("NewClass")
public class NewClass{
    private static SomeThing someThing;

    @Autowired
    public void setSomeThing(SomeThing someThing){
        NewClass.someThing = someThing;
    }
}

In short, no. You cannot autowire or manually wire static fields in Spring. You'll have to write your own logic to do this.

@Autowired can be used with setters so you could have a setter modifying an static field.

Just one final suggestion... DON'T
