Strategy interface for determining whether a specific bean definition qualifies as an autowire candidate for a specific dependency.

public interface AutowireCandidateResolver {
Determine whether the given bean definition qualifies as an autowire candidate for the given dependency.

The default implementation checks BeanDefinition.isAutowireCandidate().

Params:
  • bdHolder – the bean definition including bean name and aliases
  • descriptor – the descriptor for the target method parameter or field
See Also:
Returns:whether the bean definition qualifies as autowire candidate
/** * Determine whether the given bean definition qualifies as an * autowire candidate for the given dependency. * <p>The default implementation checks * {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanDefinition#isAutowireCandidate()}. * @param bdHolder the bean definition including bean name and aliases * @param descriptor the descriptor for the target method parameter or field * @return whether the bean definition qualifies as autowire candidate * @see org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanDefinition#isAutowireCandidate() */
default boolean isAutowireCandidate(BeanDefinitionHolder bdHolder, DependencyDescriptor descriptor) { return bdHolder.getBeanDefinition().isAutowireCandidate(); }
Determine whether the given descriptor is effectively required.

The default implementation checks DependencyDescriptor.isRequired().

Params:
  • descriptor – the descriptor for the target method parameter or field
See Also:
Returns:whether the descriptor is marked as required or possibly indicating non-required status some other way (e.g. through a parameter annotation)
Since:5.0

default boolean isRequired(DependencyDescriptor descriptor) { return descriptor.isRequired(); }
Determine whether the given descriptor declares a qualifier beyond the type (typically - but not necessarily - a specific kind of annotation).

The default implementation returns false.

Params:
  • descriptor – the descriptor for the target method parameter or field
See Also:
Returns:whether the descriptor declares a qualifier, narrowing the candidate status beyond the type match
Since:5.1
/** * Determine whether the given descriptor declares a qualifier beyond the type * (typically - but not necessarily - a specific kind of annotation). * <p>The default implementation returns {@code false}. * @param descriptor the descriptor for the target method parameter or field * @return whether the descriptor declares a qualifier, narrowing the candidate * status beyond the type match * @since 5.1 * @see org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.QualifierAnnotationAutowireCandidateResolver#hasQualifier */
default boolean hasQualifier(DependencyDescriptor descriptor) { return false; }
Determine whether a default value is suggested for the given dependency.

The default implementation simply returns null.

Params:
  • descriptor – the descriptor for the target method parameter or field
Returns:the value suggested (typically an expression String), or null if none found
Since:3.0
/** * Determine whether a default value is suggested for the given dependency. * <p>The default implementation simply returns {@code null}. * @param descriptor the descriptor for the target method parameter or field * @return the value suggested (typically an expression String), * or {@code null} if none found * @since 3.0 */
@Nullable default Object getSuggestedValue(DependencyDescriptor descriptor) { return null; }
Build a proxy for lazy resolution of the actual dependency target, if demanded by the injection point.

The default implementation simply returns null.

Params:
  • descriptor – the descriptor for the target method parameter or field
  • beanName – the name of the bean that contains the injection point
Returns:the lazy resolution proxy for the actual dependency target, or null if straight resolution is to be performed
Since:4.0
/** * Build a proxy for lazy resolution of the actual dependency target, * if demanded by the injection point. * <p>The default implementation simply returns {@code null}. * @param descriptor the descriptor for the target method parameter or field * @param beanName the name of the bean that contains the injection point * @return the lazy resolution proxy for the actual dependency target, * or {@code null} if straight resolution is to be performed * @since 4.0 */
