Annotation Type SpringBean

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={METHOD,FIELD})
@Documented
public @interface SpringBean

Annotation used for injecting Spring managed beans into objects within Stripes (usually ActionBeans). The value of the annotation represents the name of the bean in the Spring application context to inject. If the value is omitted then Stripes will attempt to auto-wire first by property/field name and then by type.

Both methods and fields can be annotated. If a field is annotated Stripes will use field access to attempt to inject the bean into the field. If a method is annotated Stripes will attempt to invoke the method and supply it the value to inject. In both cases non-public fields/methods are supported (i.e. values can be injected into private fields and through private methods).

For a more details description of the injection process and how auto-wiring occurs when explicit bean names are omitted see the SpringHelper class.
