Bean References
If the evaluation context has been configured with a bean resolver, you can
look up beans from an expression by using the @
symbol. The following example shows how
to do so:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
ExpressionParser parser = new SpelExpressionParser();
StandardEvaluationContext context = new StandardEvaluationContext();
context.setBeanResolver(new MyBeanResolver());
// This will end up calling resolve(context,"something") on MyBeanResolver during evaluation
Object bean = parser.parseExpression("@something").getValue(context);
val parser = SpelExpressionParser()
val context = StandardEvaluationContext()
context.setBeanResolver(MyBeanResolver())
// This will end up calling resolve(context,"something") on MyBeanResolver during evaluation
val bean = parser.parseExpression("@something").getValue(context)
To access a factory bean itself, you should instead prefix the bean name with an &
symbol.
The following example shows how to do so:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
ExpressionParser parser = new SpelExpressionParser();
StandardEvaluationContext context = new StandardEvaluationContext();
context.setBeanResolver(new MyBeanResolver());
// This will end up calling resolve(context,"&foo") on MyBeanResolver during evaluation
Object bean = parser.parseExpression("&foo").getValue(context);
val parser = SpelExpressionParser()
val context = StandardEvaluationContext()
context.setBeanResolver(MyBeanResolver())
// This will end up calling resolve(context,"&foo") on MyBeanResolver during evaluation
val bean = parser.parseExpression("&foo").getValue(context)
