Spring Injection with annotation

Question

How to perform Spring Injection with and <context:component-scan base-package="x.y.z.controller" /> <mvc:annotation-driven/>?

when we use <mvc:annotation-driven/> then we do not have to specify our bean for controller so how to give ref when we use <context:component-scan base-package="x.y.z.controller" />.

Answer 1

use

@Autowire annotation and define the <\bean> in the Application context.xml

Here is an example. Take a look

Answer 2

You can use the JSR 330 annotations: @Inject. You can also use the Spring specific @Autowired, but @Inject is better since based on a standard reference. See the Spring documentation for more information.

Example from the Spring documentation:

@Inject
public void setMovieFinder(MovieFinder movieFinder) {
    this.movieFinder = movieFinder;
}
