How to pass parameters dynamically to Spring beans
If i get you right, then the correct answer is to use getBean(String beanName, Object... args)
method, which will pass arguments to the bean. I can show you, how it is done for Java based configuration, but you'll have to find out how it is done for an XML based configuration.
@Configuration
public class ApplicationConfiguration {
@Bean
@Scope("prototype") // As we want to create several beans with different args, right?
String hello(String name) {
return "Hello, " + name;
}
}
// and later in your application
AnnotationConfigApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(ApplicationConfiguration.class);
String helloCat = (String) context.getBean("hello", "Cat");
String helloDog = (String) context.getBean("hello", "Dog");
Is this what are you looking for?
UPDATE
This answer gets too much upvotes and nobody looks at my comment. Even though it's a solution to the problem, it is considered as a Spring anti-pattern and you shouldn't use it! There are several different ways to do things right using factory, lookup-method, etc.
Please use the following SO post as a point of reference:
- How to instantiate Spring managed beans at runtime?
Please have a look at Constructor injection.
Also, Have a look at IntializingBean and BeanPostProcessor for other life cycle interception of a springbean.
I think the answers proposed above to use constructor injection/setter injection doesn't work perfectly for the use case you are looking for. Spring more or less takes static argument values for constructors/setters. I don't see a way to dynamically pass values to get a Bean from Spring Container. However, if you want to get instances of User_Imple dynamically, I would recommend using a factory class User_Imple_Factory
public class User_Imple_factory {
private static ApplicationContext context =new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/bean.xml");
public User_Imple createUserImple(int id) {
User user = context.getBean("User");
return new User_Imple(id, user);
}
}
