I have 2 applications, one using Spring inside a web-app, and another local application using Spring Boot. These 2 share a configuration class between them.
I cannot figure out how to configure the local application correctly.
Here is the basic layout of classes I am using:
The main class
@EnableAutoConfiguration
class MainClass{
@Autowired
private static MyComponent component;
public static void main(String args[]){
// code
SpringApplication.run(MyConfiguration.class, args);
component.start();
}
}
The configuration
@Configuration
@EnableConfigurationProperties
@PropertySource("classpath:/path/to/queue.properties")
public class MyConfiguration {
@Autowired
public static Environment env;
// more beans
@Bean
@Qualifier("qualifier1")
public static String getName(){ //made String and simple to match the Component's Autowired
return env.getProperty("property.name");
}
}
The component
@Component
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class MyComponent extends Thread {
@Autowired
@Qualifier("qualifier1")
private String template; // this isn't actually String, but a springAMQP class. Should have the same effect though.
@Override
public void run(){
//code
template.charAt(0); // just something that fails if it was not autowired
//code
}
}
If .run is given MyConfiguration.class i get a null pointer within the autowired Environment in MyConfiguration. If it is given MainClass.class the autowired MyComponent is still null.
As for some layout restrictions,
the Main Class and MyComponent only exist in the local application. The Configuration is in a shared package between the local application and the web application. This prevents me from simply creating the Bean with MyComponent in the Configuration due to dependencies.
If I remove the MyComponent from the MainClass and add the following configuration within the Local application:
@Configuration
public class MyLocalConfiguration extends MyConfiguration {
private MyComponent listener;
@Bean
public MyComponent getListener(){
if(listener == null){
listener = new MyComponent();
listener.start();
}
return listener;
}
}
I still have the issue of the Environment being null in MyConfiguration, preventing the other beans from being set up.
