Wiring together @Bean annotated beans using constructor approach

In this post under Spring Core, I will explain with example how to wire two beans annotabed with @Bean annotation using constructor. For our example lets take the below two bean classes. Bean1 package package10; public class Bean1 { private Bean2 bean2; public Bean1(Bean2 bean2) { System.out.println(“Hello its Bean1”); this.bean2 = bean2; } } As…… Continue reading Wiring together @Bean annotated beans using constructor approach

Using @DependsOn with @Component annotation

In this post under Spring Core, I will show with example how to use “@DependsOn” annotation to indicate dependencies between two beans marked with “@Component” annotation. For our example we have two beans “Bean1” and “Bean2” and both are annotated with “@Component” annotation. Now to declare that “Bean2” is dependent on “Bean1”, we annotate the…… Continue reading Using @DependsOn with @Component annotation

Giving custom name to @Component annotated beans

In this post under Spring Core, I will show with example how to give custom names to classes annotated with “@Component” annotation. By default when we annotate a class with “@Component” annotation, the name of the bean will be created from the class name, where the first letter of the class name will be lowercase.…… Continue reading Giving custom name to @Component annotated beans

Loading .env file from a specific folder

In previous post under DotEnv, I showed that by default DotEnv checks for “.env” file in the project directory when static “load” method is called. So if your project directory is in “D:\ProgrammingConcepts\JavaSEConcepts\DotEnvConcepts” the “.env” file should be present directly under the “DotEnvConcepts” folder. If present in subfolders under “DotEnvConcepts” it will not load that…… Continue reading Loading .env file from a specific folder

Spring @Component and @ComponentScan annotation example

In this post under Spring Core, I will show with example the purpose and how to use “@Component” and “@ComponentScan” annotation together. Till now in all my previous post, I have been defining a bean using “@Bean” annotation in an “@Configuration” annotated class as shown below package package1; import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean; import…… Continue reading Spring @Component and @ComponentScan annotation example

Accessing an environment variable

In this post under DotEnv, I will show with example how to access a particular environment variable. For example I have created “.env” file with below data. Env File MY_ENV_VAR1=some_value1 MY_ENV_VAR2=some_value2 Now to retrieve the value of environment variable “MY_ENV_VAR1” we call the non static “get” method of “DotEnv” class as shown below Main class…… Continue reading Accessing an environment variable
