Annotation wiring in Spring

Question

Can someone please explain, how I can turn on the annotation wiring in Spring Framework?

Answer 1

By default, Annotation wiring is not turned on in the Spring container. Thus, to use annotation based wiring we must enable it in our Spring configuration file by configuring <context:annotation-config/> element. For example:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context">
<context:annotation-config/>
<beans ………… />
</beans>​
