I have the following bean definition in app-context.xml file:
<bean id="buttonPanel" class="todo.ui.BoxLayoutPanel" init-method="init" depends-on="deleteButton, addNewButton">
<property name="axis">
<!-- "0" corresponds to BoxLayout.X_AXIS -->
<value>0</value>
</property>
<property name="panelComponents">
<list>
<ref bean="deleteButton"/>
<ref bean="addNewButton"/>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
And I'm trying to create deleteButton and addNewButton beans manually, by code:
String[] contextPaths = new String[] {"todo/app-context.xml"};
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(contextPaths);
ActionListenerButton addNewButton = new ActionListenerButton();
addNewButton.setText("Add New");
System.out.println("setText(Add New)");
ListTableActionListener addActionListener = (ListTableActionListener) ctx.getBean("addNewButtonActionListener");
addNewButton.setActionListener(addActionListener);
ActionListenerButton deleteButton = new ActionListenerButton();
deleteButton.setText("Delete");
System.out.println("setText(Delete)");
ActionListener deleteActionListener = (ActionListener) ctx.getBean("addNewButtonActionListener");
deleteButton.setActionListener(deleteActionListener);
AutowireCapableBeanFactory factory = ctx.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory();
factory.autowireBean(addNewButton);
factory.initializeBean(addNewButton, "addNewButton");
factory.autowireBean(deleteButton);
factory.initializeBean(deleteButton, "deleteButton");
Beans addNewButtonActionListener and addNewButtonActionListener, which deleteButton and addNewButton beans depend on, are defined with annotations:
@Component("addNewButtonActionListener")
public class AddNewButtonActionListener extends ListTableActionListener {
@Resource(name="itemList")
public void setList(List list) {
this.list = list;
}
@Resource(name="itemTable")
public void setTable(JTable itemTable) {
this.itemTable = itemTable;
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
list.add("New Item");
itemTable.revalidate();
}
}
@Component("deleteButtonActionListener")
public class DeleteButtonActionListener extends ListTableActionListener {
@Resource(name="itemList")
public void setList(List list) {
this.list = list;
}
@Resource(name="itemTable")
public void setTable(JTable itemTable) {
this.itemTable = itemTable;
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
int selectedRow = itemTable.getSelectedRow();
if (selectedRow == -1) {
// if there is no selected row, don't do anything
return;
}
if (itemTable.isEditing()) {
// if we are editing the table, don't do anything
return;
}
if (selectedRow < list.size()) {
list.remove(selectedRow);
itemTable.revalidate();
}
}
}
And ActionListenerButton class looks like this:
public class ActionListenerButton extends JButton {
String text;
public String getText() {
return text;
}
public void setText(String text) {
this.text = text;
}
private ActionListener actionListener;
public void setActionListener(ActionListener actionListener) {
this.actionListener = actionListener;
}
public ActionListener getActionListener() {
return actionListener;
}
public void init() {
this.addActionListener(actionListener);
}
}
But it seems that bean buttonPanel (which is defined in xml) are created before addNewButton and deleteButton beans (which should be initialized by factory, by code), because I get NoSuchBeanDefinitionException with description "No bean named 'deleteButton' available":

How to make Spring to instantiate deleteButton and addNewButton beans before buttonPanel bean?
P.S. Full app-context.xml now looks like this:

UPD
Or maybe I was wrong, and my code with AutowireCapableBeanFactory didn't really create beans and add them in Spring container at all...
Because when I added lazy-init="true" attribute in xml to mainFrame, mainPanel and buttonPanel beans and invoked mainFrame after code with factory:
AutowireCapableBeanFactory factory = ctx.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory();
factory.autowireBean(addNewButton);
factory.initializeBean(addNewButton, "addNewButton");
factory.autowireBean(deleteButton);
factory.initializeBean(deleteButton, "deleteButton");
ctx.getBean("mainFrame");
I get the following output in console:
14:04:49.780 [main] DEBUG o.s.b.f.s.DefaultListableBeanFactory - Returning cached instance of singleton bean 'lifecycleProcessor'
14:04:49.783 [main] DEBUG o.s.c.e.PropertySourcesPropertyResolver - Could not find key 'spring.liveBeansView.mbeanDomain' in any property source

I.e., Spring returns only cached instances of singleton beans addNewButtonActionListener and deleteButtonActionListener, bot doesn't create and return instances of beans addNewButton and deleteButton.
