Spring @Configuration Annotation Example

By on Spring

In this article, we will see how to build a spring container using @Configuration annotation. We will see some examples of building spring container using spring @Configuration.

Configuration Annotation

When a class is annotated with @Configuration it indicates that it contains source of bean definitions, methods annotated with @Bean. When the spring framework comes across a @Configuration class, not only the @Configuration class itself is registered as a bean definition, even all the declared @Bean methods within the class are also registered as bean definitions.
The @Configuration class itself is itself annotated with @Component. The main difference between two is @Configuration classes allows inter-bean dependencies where one @Bean method can invoke another @Bean method.

Configuration:

@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Component
public @interface Configuration {
...
}

When @Bean methods are declared within classes that are not annotated with @Configuration they are referred to as being processed in a ‘lite’ mode.
Let’s declare two beans A and B.

A:

package com.javarticles.spring.annotations;

public class A {
}

B:

package com.javarticles.spring.annotations;

public class B {
}

We will annotate SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample with @Configuration, it contain @Bean methods a() and b(). We can provide the bean name as value of the annotation.

SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample:

package com.javarticles.spring.annotations;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration("mainBean")
public class SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample {
    @Bean
    public A a() {
        return new A();
    }

    @Bean
    public B b() {
        return new B();
    }
}

Bootstrapping @Configuration classes via AnnotationConfigApplicationContext

If the spring beans are defined in XML we will use ClassPathXmlApplicationContext to build the spring container. If we want spring to build the container using @Configuration annotation then we will use AnnotationConfigApplicationContext. In our example, SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample is the class that contains other bean definitions. There may be more classes annotated with @Configuration. We will pass in all those class to register() method and refresh the container.

AnnotationConfigApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext();
ctx.register(SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample.class);
ctx.refresh();

SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample:

package com.javarticles.spring.annotations;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration("mainBean")
public class SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AnnotationConfigApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext();
        try {
            ctx.register(SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample.class);
            ctx.refresh();
            SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample mainBean = (SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample) ctx
                    .getBean("mainBean");
            System.out.println(mainBean.a());
            System.out.println(mainBean.b());
        } finally {
            ctx.close();
        }
    }

    @Bean
    public A a() {
        return new A();
    }

    @Bean
    public B b() {
        return new B();
    }
}

Import Annotation

Suppose we want to import other @Configuration classes, we can do that using @Import annotation and passing in those classes as annotation value.
We can access the registered beans using @Autowired injection. Either the bean itself can be autowired, or the configuration class which itself is a registered bean instance can be autowired.

In our example, class C is another @Configuration class which we will import it using @Import(C.class).

C:

package com.javarticles.spring.package1;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class C {

}

SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample:

package com.javarticles.spring.annotations;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Import;

import com.javarticles.spring.package1.C;

@Configuration("mainBean")
@Import(C.class)
public class SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample {
    @Autowired
    private C c;    

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AnnotationConfigApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext();
        try {
            ctx.register(SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample.class);
            ctx.refresh();
            SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample mainBean = (SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample) ctx
                    .getBean("mainBean");
            System.out.println(mainBean.a());
            System.out.println(mainBean.b());
            System.out.println(mainBean.c());
        } finally {
            ctx.close();
        }
    }

    @Bean
    public A a() {
        return new A();
    }

    @Bean
    public B b() {
        return new B();
    }
    
    public C c() {
        return c;
    }
}

Component Scan

Suppose we want to scan an entire package or a set of packages, using @Import may not work, in such case we can use the @ComponentScan. If the classes reside in the same package as the bootstrap @Configuration class then we don’t have to specify the package name. Spring can automatically detect stereotyped classes and register corresponding bean definitions contained in @Configuration classes. In order to auto-detect these classes and register the corresponding beans, we need to add @ComponentScan to your @Configuration class and pass in the package names.

Since @Configuration classes are meta-annotated with @Component, they too will be included in component-scanning.

In our example, Config1 and Config2 are the configuration classes annotated with @Configuration. We want them to be registered to the spring container created in class SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample. All we have to do is add @ComponentScan annotation to SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample and then we can inject the beans using @Autowired or get the bean from the container using getBean().

Config1:

package com.javarticles.spring.annotations;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class Config1 {

}

Config2:

package com.javarticles.spring.annotations;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class Config2 {

}

SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample:

package com.javarticles.spring.annotations;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Import;

import com.javarticles.spring.package1.C;

@Configuration("mainBean")
@Import(C.class)
@ComponentScan
public class SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample {
    @Autowired
    private C c;    

    @Autowired
    private Config1 cfg1;
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AnnotationConfigApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext();
        try {
            ctx.register(SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample.class);
            ctx.refresh();
            SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample mainBean = (SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample) ctx
                    .getBean("mainBean");
            System.out.println(mainBean.a());
            System.out.println(mainBean.b());
            System.out.println(mainBean.c());
            System.out.println(mainBean.cfg1());
            System.out.println(ctx.getBean("config2"));
        } finally {
            ctx.close();
        }
    }

    @Bean
    public A a() {
        return new A();
    }

    @Bean
    public B b() {
        return new B();
    }
    
    public C c() {
        return c;
    }
    
    public Config1 cfg1() {
        return cfg1;
    }
}

Nested Static Class with @Configuration

We can also provide nested @Configuration classes, the nested classes will be registered automatically as we register the enclosing @Configurationclass.
If such an annotation contains no name value, the default bean name generator returns the un-capitalized non-qualified class name. In the below example, enclosing class is SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample and nested class is NestedConfig, the bean name of nested class would be “springConfigurationAnnotationExample.NestedConfig”.

SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample:

package com.javarticles.spring.annotations;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Import;

import com.javarticles.spring.package1.C;

@Configuration("mainBean")
@Import(C.class)
@ComponentScan
public class SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample {
    @Autowired
    private C c;    

    @Autowired
    private Config1 cfg1;
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AnnotationConfigApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext();
        try {
            ctx.register(SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample.class);
            ctx.refresh();
            SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample mainBean = (SpringConfigurationAnnotationExample) ctx
                    .getBean("mainBean");
            System.out.println(mainBean.a());
            System.out.println(mainBean.b());
            System.out.println(mainBean.c());
            System.out.println(mainBean.cfg1());
            System.out.println(ctx.getBean("config2"));
            System.out
            .println(ctx
                    .getBean("springConfigurationAnnotationExample.NestedConfig"));
        } finally {
            ctx.close();
        }
    }

    @Bean
    public A a() {
        return new A();
    }

    @Bean
    public B b() {
        return new B();
    }
    
    public C c() {
        return c;

Bootstrap @Configuration classes using annotation-config element

We can also use <context:annotation-config/> to enable ConfigurationClassPostProcessor and other annotation-related post processors that facilitate registering @Configuration classes. We will have to then include the main @Configuration class as a bean to trigger the bean registration process.

annotationConfigContext.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Bootstrap @Configuration classes using component-scan element

The use of implicitly enables the functionality of . There is usually no need to include the element when using .
In the example above, the com.acme package will be scanned, looking for any @Component-annotated classes, and those classes will be registered as Spring bean definitions within the container. AnnotationConfigApplicationContext exposes the scan(String…​) method to allow for the same component-scanning functionality:
