+ Using JSR 330 standard annotations
+
+ Starting from Spring 3.0, Spring offers support for JSR-330 standard annotations (Dependency Injection).
+ Those annotations are scanned in the same way as the Spring annotations. You just need to have the relevant jars in your classpath.
+
+
+ If you are using Maven, the javax.inject artifact is available on the standard Maven repository (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/inject/javax.inject/1/). You just need to add the following dependency to your file pom.xml:
+
+ <dependency>
+ <groupId>javax.inject</groupId>
+ <artifactId>javax.inject</artifactId>
+ <version>1</version>
+ </dependency>
+
+
+
+
+ Dependency Injection with <interfacename>@Inject</interfacename> and <interfacename>@Named</interfacename>
+
+ Instead of @Autowired, javax.inject.Inject may be used as follows:
+
+
+ import javax.inject.Inject;
+ public class SimpleMovieLister {
+
+ private MovieFinder movieFinder;
+
+ @Inject
+ public void setMovieFinder(MovieFinder movieFinder) {
+ this.movieFinder = movieFinder;
+ }
+ // ...
+}
+
+ As for @Autowired, it is possible to use @Inject at the class-level, field-level, method-level and constructor-argument level.
+
+ If you would like to use a qualified name for the dependency that should be injected, you should use the @Named annotation as follows:
+
+ import javax.inject.Inject;
+ import javax.inject.Named;
+
+ public class SimpleMovieLister {
+
+ private MovieFinder movieFinder;
+
+ @Inject
+ public void setMovieFinder(@Named("main") MovieFinder movieFinder) {
+ this.movieFinder = movieFinder;
+ }
+ // ...
+}
+
+
+
+
+
+ <interfacename>@Named</interfacename>: a standard equivalent to the <interfacename>@Component</interfacename> annotation
+
+ Instead of @Component, javax.inject.Named may be used as follows:
+
+ import javax.inject.Inject;
+ import javax.inject.Named;
+
+ @Named("movieListener")
+ public class SimpleMovieLister {
+
+ private MovieFinder movieFinder;
+
+ @Inject
+ public void setMovieFinder(MovieFinder movieFinder) {
+ this.movieFinder = movieFinder;
+ }
+ // ...
+}
+
+
+It is very common to use @Component without specifying a name for the component. @Named can be used in a similar fashion:
+
+ import javax.inject.Inject;
+ import javax.inject.Named;
+
+ @Named
+ public class SimpleMovieLister {
+
+ private MovieFinder movieFinder;
+
+ @Inject
+ public void setMovieFinder(MovieFinder movieFinder) {
+ this.movieFinder = movieFinder;
+ }
+ // ...
+}
+
+
+
+When using @Named, it is possible to use component-scanning in the exact same way as when using Spring annotations:
+
+ <beans>
+ <context:component-scan base-package="org.example"/>
+ </beans>
+
+
+
+
+ Limitations of the standard approach
+ When working with standard annotations, it is important to know that some significant features are not available as shown in the table below:
+
+
+ Spring annotations vs standard annotations
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Spring
+
+ javax.inject.*
+
+ javax.inject restrictions / comments
+
+
+
+
+
+ @Autowired
+
+ @Inject
+
+ @Inject has no 'required' attribute
+
+
+ @Component
+
+ @Named
+
+
+
+
+ @Scope("singleton")
+
+ @Singleton
+
+
+
+ jsr-330 default scope is like Spring's prototype. However, in order to keep it consistent with Spring's general defaults, a jsr-330 bean declared in the Spring container is a singleton by default. In order to use another scope than singleton, you should use Spring's @Scope annotation.
+
+
+ javax.inject also provides a @Scope annotation. Nevertheless, this one only aims to be used for creating your own annotations.
