Annotation Type SpringContext

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={PACKAGE,TYPE,CONSTRUCTOR,METHOD,FIELD,PARAMETER})
public @interface SpringContext

Used to enabled Spring dependency injection.

A member can be injected with a Spring bean if a SpringContext is available for the specified member. Such a SpringContext can be defined at package-, class- or at member-level. There are two more requirements for members to support Spring beanlet injection:

• Members must be marked with the Inject annotation.
• Members, for which a SpringContext is made available at package- or class-level, must enable wiring BY_NAME or wiring BY_TYPE through the Wiring annotation. Members that are marked with the SpringContext support wiring BY_NAME and BY_TYPE by default.

Members marked with this annotation MUST also be annoted with Inject, otherwise the beanlet definition fails.

XML Representation

The following xml-fragments show how to express this annotation in xml. The 'spring-context' tags don't specify any element attribute, which means that this tag is applied to the beanlet's class.

 <beanlets xmlns="http://beanlet.org/schema/beanlet"
           xmlns:sf="http://beanlet.org/schema/springframework"
           xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
           xsi:schemaLocation="http://beanlet.org/schema/beanlet http://beanlet.org/schema/beanlet/beanlet_1_0.xsd
                            http://beanlet.org/schema/springframework http://beanlet.org/schema/springframework/beanlet_springframework_1_0.xsd">
   <beanlet name="foo" type="com.acme.Foo">
     <sf:spring-contex path="spring.xml" type="CLASSPATH" format="XML" application-context="false"/>
   </beanlet>
 </beanlets>

Or:

 <beanlets xmlns="http://beanlet.org/schema/beanlet"
           xmlns:sf="http://beanlet.org/schema/springframework"
           xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
           xsi:schemaLocation="http://beanlet.org/schema/beanlet http://beanlet.org/schema/beanlet/beanlet_1_0.xsd
                            http://beanlet.org/schema/springframework http://beanlet.org/schema/springframework/beanlet_springframework_1_0.xsd">
   <beanlet name="foo" type="com.acme.Foo">
     <sf:spring-contex application-context="false">
       <resource path="spring.xml" type="CLASSPATH" format="XML"/>
       <resource path="http://demo.beanlet.org/spring.xml" type="URL" format="XML"/>
     </sf:spring-context>
   </beanlet>
 </beanlets>

Or alternatively:

 <beanlets xmlns="http://beanlet.org/schema/beanlet"
           xmlns:sf="http://beanlet.org/schema/springframework"
           xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
           xsi:schemaLocation="http://beanlet.org/schema/beanlet http://beanlet.org/schema/beanlet/beanlet_1_0.xsd
                            http://beanlet.org/schema/springframework http://beanlet.org/schema/springframework/beanlet_springframework_1_0.xsd">
   <beanlet name="foo" type="com.acme.Foo">
     <sf:spring-contex type="CLASSPATH" format="XML" application-context="false">
       <resource path="spring.xml"/>
       <resource path="http://demo.beanlet.org/spring.xml" type="URL"/>
     </sf:spring-context>
   </beanlet>
 </beanlets>
