Autowiring a static variable using Spring

Yes, This sounds wrong and should never try to do it in a proper design (According to me).

With the above disclaimer, Might run into such a case where we need to do this kind of thing, you are at the right blog.

There are 2 ways to do it i guess, i have the simple working way jotted here.

Lets get started

Consider the class

@Component
public class Foo
{

private static ObjectA objectA; // Static variable to be used in static method in class

@Autowired
ObjectA autowiredObjectA; // Orginal bean that is autowired

@postConstruct
public void init()
{

  Foo.objectA=this.autowiredObjectA; // So this method is responsible for handing out the bean after                                                                     the class is constructed and autowired by the spring                                                                                  container . :)

}

public static consumerMethod(args..)
{
  objectA.makeCall(); // making a call with the static auto wired object

}

}

Now the above snippet will do the trick.

1. Spring does a component scan and load the class.
2. container auto wires the bean.
3. container calls the post construct where bean is assigned to static variable.
4. the static variable is used during function calls.


If there is a proper design, i guess this kind of situation can be avoided for every other case.. !!

    And how do you write the unit test. Can you show some example.

Field or property 'jobParameters' cannot be found on object of type 'org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanExpressionContext' - Spring Batch

This Error happens when you are trying to retrieve a Job Execution parameter and inject it into a Bean. The bean can be anything a Task let, or a StatmentSetter the error can happen. E.g Implementation <bean id = "flatFileItemReader" scope="step" class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.FlatFileItemReader"> <property name = "resource" value = "#{jobParameters[input.file.name]}" /> </bean> The error is because of the Scope parameter missing Using a scope of  Step  is required in order to use late binding since the bean cannot actually be instantiated until the  Step  starts, which allows the attributes to be found. Because it is not part of the Spring container by default, the scope must be added explicitly. Check out the Documentation here ..  http://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/reference/html/configureStep.html#step-scope

java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException: Only RSAPrivate(Crt)KeySpec and PKCS8EncodedKeySpec supported for RSA private keys

public PrivateKey getPrivateKey(String fileName) throws IOException, InvalidKeySpecException, NoSuchAlgorithmException { byte[] keyFileBytes = readKeyFile(fileName); X509EncodedKeySpec spec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(keyFileBytes); KeyFactory kf = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA"); return kf.generatePrivate(spec); } The reason is this line, This is used to read public key spec and not private key. The private key is read via PKCS8EncodedKeySpec spec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec ( keyBytes ); So as the error says it needs to be in PKCS8 spec format for java to understand.
