# Spring Boot Dependency Injection - References
|
||||
|
||||
Complete API reference for dependency injection in Spring Boot applications.
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Interfaces and Classes
|
||||
|
||||
### ApplicationContext
|
||||
Root interface for Spring IoC container.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
public interface ApplicationContext extends EnvironmentCapable, ListableBeanFactory,
|
||||
HierarchicalBeanFactory, MessageSource,
|
||||
ApplicationEventPublisher, ResourcePatternResolver {
|
||||
|
||||
// Get a bean by type
|
||||
<T> T getBean(Class<T> requiredType);
|
||||
|
||||
// Get a bean by name and type
|
||||
<T> T getBean(String name, Class<T> requiredType);
|
||||
|
||||
// Get all beans of a type
|
||||
<T> Map<String, T> getBeansOfType(Class<T> type);
|
||||
|
||||
// Get all bean names
|
||||
String[] getBeanDefinitionNames();
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### BeanFactory
|
||||
Lower-level interface for accessing beans (used internally).
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
public interface BeanFactory {
|
||||
Object getBean(String name);
|
||||
<T> T getBean(String name, Class<T> requiredType);
|
||||
<T> T getBean(Class<T> requiredType);
|
||||
Object getBean(String name, Object... args);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependency Injection Annotations
|
||||
|
||||
### @Autowired
|
||||
Auto-wire dependencies (property, constructor, or method injection).
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Autowired // Required dependency
|
||||
@Autowired(required = false) // Optional dependency
|
||||
@Autowired private UserRepository repository; // Field injection (avoid)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### @Qualifier
|
||||
Disambiguate when multiple beans of same type exist.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Autowired
|
||||
@Qualifier("primaryDB")
|
||||
private DataSource dataSource;
|
||||
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
@Qualifier("cache")
|
||||
public CacheService cacheService() { }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### @Primary
|
||||
Mark bean as preferred when multiple exist.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
@Primary
|
||||
public DataSource primaryDataSource() { }
|
||||
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
public DataSource secondaryDataSource() { }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### @Value
|
||||
Inject properties and SpEL expressions.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Value("${app.name}") // Property injection
|
||||
@Value("${app.port:8080}") // With default value
|
||||
@Value("#{T(java.lang.Math).PI}") // SpEL expression
|
||||
@Value("#{'${app.servers}'.split(',')}") // Collection
|
||||
private String value;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### @Lazy
|
||||
Delay bean initialization until first access.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
@Lazy
|
||||
public ExpensiveBean expensiveBean() { }
|
||||
|
||||
@Autowired
|
||||
@Lazy
|
||||
private ExpensiveBean bean; // Lazy proxy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### @Scope
|
||||
Define bean lifecycle scope.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Scope("singleton") // One per container (default)
|
||||
@Scope("prototype") // New instance each time
|
||||
@Scope("request") // One per HTTP request
|
||||
@Scope("session") // One per HTTP session
|
||||
@Scope("application") // One per ServletContext
|
||||
@Scope("websocket") // One per WebSocket session
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### @Configuration
|
||||
Mark class as providing bean definitions.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Configuration
|
||||
public class AppConfig {
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
public UserService userService() { }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### @Bean
|
||||
Define a bean in configuration class.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
public UserService userService(UserRepository repository) {
|
||||
return new UserService(repository);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@Bean(name = "customName")
|
||||
public UserService userService() { }
|
||||
|
||||
@Bean(initMethod = "init", destroyMethod = "cleanup")
|
||||
public UserService userService() { }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### @Component / @Service / @Repository / @Controller
|
||||
Stereotype annotations for component scanning.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Component // Generic Spring component
|
||||
@Service // Business logic layer
|
||||
@Repository // Data access layer
|
||||
@Controller // Web layer (MVC)
|
||||
@RestController // Web layer (REST)
|
||||
public class UserService { }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Conditional Bean Registration
|
||||
|
||||
### @ConditionalOnProperty
|
||||
Create bean only if property exists.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
@ConditionalOnProperty(
|
||||
name = "feature.notifications.enabled",
|
||||
havingValue = "true"
|
||||
)
|
||||
public NotificationService notificationService() { }
|
||||
|
||||
// OR if property matches any value
|
||||
@ConditionalOnProperty(name = "feature.enabled")
|
||||
public NotificationService notificationService() { }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### @ConditionalOnClass / @ConditionalOnMissingClass
|
||||
Create bean based on classpath availability.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
@ConditionalOnClass(RedisTemplate.class)
|
||||
public CacheService cacheService() { }
|
||||
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
@ConditionalOnMissingClass("org.springframework.data.redis.core.RedisTemplate")
|
||||
public LocalCacheService fallbackCacheService() { }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### @ConditionalOnBean / @ConditionalOnMissingBean
|
||||
Create bean based on other beans.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
@ConditionalOnBean(DataSource.class)
|
||||
public UserService userService() { }
|
||||
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
@ConditionalOnMissingBean
|
||||
public UserService defaultUserService() { }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### @ConditionalOnExpression
|
||||
Create bean based on SpEL expression.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
@ConditionalOnExpression("'${environment}'.equals('production')")
|
||||
public SecurityService securityService() { }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Profile-Based Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### @Profile
|
||||
Activate bean only in specific profiles.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Configuration
|
||||
@Profile("production")
|
||||
public class ProductionConfig { }
|
||||
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
@Profile({"dev", "test"})
|
||||
public TestDataLoader testDataLoader() { }
|
||||
|
||||
@Bean
|
||||
@Profile("!production") // All profiles except production
|
||||
public DebugService debugService() { }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Activate profiles:**
|
||||
```properties
|
||||
# application.properties
|
||||
spring.profiles.active=production
|
||||
|
||||
# application-production.properties
|
||||
# Profile-specific property file
|
||||
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://prod-db:5432/prod
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Component Scanning
|
||||
|
||||
### @ComponentScan
|
||||
Configure component scanning.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Configuration
|
||||
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.example.users", "com.example.products"})
|
||||
public class AppConfig { }
|
||||
|
||||
@Configuration
|
||||
@ComponentScan(
|
||||
basePackages = "com.example",
|
||||
excludeFilters = @ComponentScan.Filter(
|
||||
type = FilterType.REGEX,
|
||||
pattern = "com\\.example\\.internal\\..*"
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
public class AppConfig { }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Filter Types
|
||||
- `FilterType.ANNOTATION` - By annotation
|
||||
- `FilterType.ASSIGNABLE_TYPE` - By class type
|
||||
- `FilterType.ASPECTJ` - By AspectJ pattern
|
||||
- `FilterType.REGEX` - By regex pattern
|
||||
- `FilterType.CUSTOM` - Custom filter
|
||||
|
||||
## Injection Points
|
||||
|
||||
### Constructor Injection (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Service
|
||||
@RequiredArgsConstructor // Lombok generates constructor
|
||||
public class UserService {
|
||||
private final UserRepository repository; // Final field
|
||||
private final EmailService emailService;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Explicit
|
||||
@Service
|
||||
public class UserService {
|
||||
private final UserRepository repository;
|
||||
|
||||
public UserService(UserRepository repository) {
|
||||
this.repository = Objects.requireNonNull(repository);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setter Injection (Optional Dependencies Only)
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Service
|
||||
public class UserService {
|
||||
private final UserRepository repository;
|
||||
private EmailService emailService; // Optional
|
||||
|
||||
public UserService(UserRepository repository) {
|
||||
this.repository = repository;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@Autowired(required = false)
|
||||
public void setEmailService(EmailService emailService) {
|
||||
this.emailService = emailService;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Field Injection (❌ Avoid)
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// ❌ NOT RECOMMENDED
|
||||
@Service
|
||||
public class UserService {
|
||||
@Autowired
|
||||
private UserRepository repository; // Hidden dependency
|
||||
|
||||
@Autowired
|
||||
private EmailService emailService; // Mutable state
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Circular Dependency Resolution
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem: Circular Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// ❌ WILL FAIL
|
||||
@Service
|
||||
public class UserService {
|
||||
private final OrderService orderService;
|
||||
|
||||
public UserService(OrderService orderService) {
|
||||
this.orderService = orderService; // Circular!
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@Service
|
||||
public class OrderService {
|
||||
private final UserService userService;
|
||||
|
||||
public OrderService(UserService userService) {
|
||||
this.userService = userService; // Circular!
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Solution 1: Setter Injection
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Service
|
||||
public class UserService {
|
||||
private final UserRepository userRepository;
|
||||
private OrderService orderService; // Optional
|
||||
|
||||
public UserService(UserRepository userRepository) {
|
||||
this.userRepository = userRepository;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@Autowired(required = false)
|
||||
public void setOrderService(OrderService orderService) {
|
||||
this.orderService = orderService;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Solution 2: Event-Driven (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
public class UserRegisteredEvent extends ApplicationEvent {
|
||||
private final String userId;
|
||||
|
||||
public UserRegisteredEvent(Object source, String userId) {
|
||||
super(source);
|
||||
this.userId = userId;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@Service
|
||||
@RequiredArgsConstructor
|
||||
public class UserService {
|
||||
private final UserRepository userRepository;
|
||||
private final ApplicationEventPublisher eventPublisher;
|
||||
|
||||
public User registerUser(CreateUserRequest request) {
|
||||
User user = userRepository.save(User.create(request));
|
||||
eventPublisher.publishEvent(new UserRegisteredEvent(this, user.getId()));
|
||||
return user;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@Service
|
||||
@RequiredArgsConstructor
|
||||
public class OrderService {
|
||||
private final OrderRepository orderRepository;
|
||||
|
||||
@EventListener
|
||||
public void onUserRegistered(UserRegisteredEvent event) {
|
||||
orderRepository.createWelcomeOrder(event.getUserId());
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Solution 3: Refactor to Separate Concerns
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// Shared service without circular dependency
|
||||
@Service
|
||||
@RequiredArgsConstructor
|
||||
public class UserOrderService {
|
||||
private final UserRepository userRepository;
|
||||
private final OrderRepository orderRepository;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@Service
|
||||
@RequiredArgsConstructor
|
||||
public class UserService {
|
||||
private final UserOrderService userOrderService;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@Service
|
||||
@RequiredArgsConstructor
|
||||
public class OrderService {
|
||||
private final UserOrderService userOrderService;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## ObjectProvider for Flexibility
|
||||
|
||||
### ObjectProvider Interface
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
public interface ObjectProvider<T> extends ObjectFactory<T>, Iterable<T> {
|
||||
T getObject();
|
||||
T getObject(Object... args);
|
||||
T getIfAvailable();
|
||||
T getIfAvailable(Supplier<T> defaultSupplier);
|
||||
void ifAvailable(Consumer<T> consumer);
|
||||
void ifAvailableOrElse(Consumer<T> consumer, Runnable emptyRunnable);
|
||||
<X> ObjectProvider<X> map(Function<? super T, ? extends X> mapper);
|
||||
<X> ObjectProvider<X> flatMap(Function<? super T, ObjectProvider<X>> mapper);
|
||||
Optional<T> getIfUnique();
|
||||
Optional<T> getIfUnique(Supplier<T> defaultSupplier);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage Example
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Service
|
||||
public class FlexibleService {
|
||||
private final ObjectProvider<CacheService> cacheProvider;
|
||||
|
||||
public FlexibleService(ObjectProvider<CacheService> cacheProvider) {
|
||||
this.cacheProvider = cacheProvider;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public void process() {
|
||||
// Safely handle optional bean
|
||||
cacheProvider.ifAvailable(cache -> cache.invalidate());
|
||||
|
||||
// Get with fallback
|
||||
CacheService cache = cacheProvider.getIfAvailable(() -> new NoOpCache());
|
||||
|
||||
// Iterate if multiple beans exist
|
||||
cacheProvider.forEach(cache -> cache.initialize());
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Bean Lifecycle Hooks
|
||||
|
||||
### InitializingBean / DisposableBean
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Component
|
||||
public class ResourceManager implements InitializingBean, DisposableBean {
|
||||
|
||||
@Override
|
||||
public void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
|
||||
// Called after constructor and property injection
|
||||
System.out.println("Bean initialized");
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@Override
|
||||
public void destroy() throws Exception {
|
||||
// Called when context shutdown
|
||||
System.out.println("Bean destroyed");
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### @PostConstruct / @PreDestroy
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Component
|
||||
public class ResourceManager {
|
||||
|
||||
@PostConstruct
|
||||
public void init() {
|
||||
// Called after constructor and injection
|
||||
System.out.println("Bean initialized");
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@PreDestroy
|
||||
public void cleanup() {
|
||||
// Called before bean destroyed
|
||||
System.out.println("Bean destroyed");
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### @Bean with initMethod and destroyMethod
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@Configuration
|
||||
public class AppConfig {
|
||||
|
||||
@Bean(initMethod = "init", destroyMethod = "cleanup")
|
||||
public ResourceManager resourceManager() {
|
||||
return new ResourceManager();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public class ResourceManager {
|
||||
public void init() {
|
||||
System.out.println("Initialized");
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public void cleanup() {
|
||||
System.out.println("Cleaned up");
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Unit Test (No Spring)
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
class UserServiceTest {
|
||||
private UserRepository mockRepository;
|
||||
private UserService service;
|
||||
|
||||
@BeforeEach
|
||||
void setUp() {
|
||||
mockRepository = mock(UserRepository.class);
|
||||
service = new UserService(mockRepository); // Manual injection
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@Test
|
||||
void shouldFetchUser() {
|
||||
User user = new User(1L, "Test");
|
||||
when(mockRepository.findById(1L)).thenReturn(Optional.of(user));
|
||||
|
||||
User result = service.getUser(1L);
|
||||
assertThat(result).isEqualTo(user);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Test (With Spring)
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@SpringBootTest
|
||||
@ActiveProfiles("test")
|
||||
class UserServiceIntegrationTest {
|
||||
@Autowired
|
||||
private UserService userService;
|
||||
|
||||
@Autowired
|
||||
private UserRepository userRepository;
|
||||
|
||||
@BeforeEach
|
||||
void setUp() {
|
||||
userRepository.deleteAll();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@Test
|
||||
void shouldFetchUserFromDatabase() {
|
||||
User user = User.create("test@example.com");
|
||||
userRepository.save(user);
|
||||
|
||||
User retrieved = userService.getUser(user.getId());
|
||||
assertThat(retrieved.getEmail()).isEqualTo("test@example.com");
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Slice Test
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
@WebMvcTest(UserController.class)
|
||||
class UserControllerTest {
|
||||
@Autowired
|
||||
private MockMvc mockMvc;
|
||||
|
||||
@MockBean // Mock the service
|
||||
private UserService userService;
|
||||
|
||||
@Test
|
||||
void shouldReturnUser() throws Exception {
|
||||
User user = new User(1L, "Test");
|
||||
when(userService.getUser(1L)).thenReturn(user);
|
||||
|
||||
mockMvc.perform(get("/users/1"))
|
||||
.andExpect(status().isOk());
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices Summary
|
||||
|
||||
| Practice | Recommendation | Why |
|
||||
|----------|---|---|
|
||||
| Constructor injection | ✅ Mandatory | Explicit, immutable, testable |
|
||||
| Setter injection | ⚠️ Optional deps | Clear optionality |
|
||||
| Field injection | ❌ Never | Hidden, untestable |
|
||||
| @Autowired on constructor | ✅ Implicit (4.3+) | Clear intent |
|
||||
| Lombok @RequiredArgsConstructor | ✅ Recommended | Reduces boilerplate |
|
||||
| Circular dependencies | ❌ Avoid | Use events instead |
|
||||
| Too many dependencies | ❌ Avoid | SRP violation |
|
||||
| @Lazy for expensive beans | ✅ Appropriate | Faster startup |
|
||||
| Profiles for environments | ✅ Recommended | Environment-specific config |
|
||||
| @Value for properties | ✅ Recommended | Type-safe injection |
