@Resource Annotation in JSR-250 with Spring Framework

You can use @Resource annotation on fields or setter methods and it works the same as in Java EE 5. The @Resource annotation takes a ‘name‘ attribute which will be interpreted as the bean name to be injected. You can say, it follows by-name autowiring semantics as demonstrated in the below example:

Circle.java

package com.dineshonjava.sdnext.jsr.tutorial;

import javax.annotation.Resource;

public class Circle
{ 
 private Point center;
 
 @Resource(name="pointB")
 public void setCenter(Point center) 
 {
    this.center = center;
 }

 public void draw() 
 {
System.out.println("Circle is drawn of center ("+center.getX()+", "+center.getY()+")");
 }
}

If no “name” is specified explicitly, the default name is derived from the field name or setter method. In case of a field, it takes the field name; in case of a setter method, it takes the bean property name.

Point.java

package com.dineshonjava.sdnext.jsr.tutorial;

public class Point
{
 private int x;
 private int y;
 /**
  * @return the x
  */
 public int getX() {
  return x;
 }
 /**
  * @param x the x to set
  */
 public void setX(int x) {
  this.x = x;
 }
 /**
  * @return the y
  */
 public int getY() {
  return y;
 }
 /**
  * @param y the y to set
  */
 public void setY(int y) {
  this.y = y;
 }
}


DrawingApp.java

package com.dineshonjava.sdnext.jsr.tutorial;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

/**
 * @author Dinesh
 *
 */
public class DrawingApp 
{
 /**
  * @param args
  */
 public static void main(String[] args) 
 {
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring.xml");
Circle circle= (Circle) context.getBean("circle");
circle.draw();
 }
}

spring.xml

Once you are done with creating source and bean configuration files, let us run the application. If everything is fine with your application, this will print the following message:
