spring bean with dynamic constructor value

Question

I need to create an Object which is in-complete without the constructor argument. Something like this

Class A  {
  private final int timeOut
  public A(int t         


        

Answer 1

BeanFactory has a getBean(String name, Object... args) method which, according to the javadoc, allows you to specify constructor arguments which are used to override the bean definition's own arguments. So you could put a default value in the beans file, and then specify the "real" runtime values when required, e.g.

and then:

getBean("myBean", myTimeoutValue);

I haven't tried this myself, but it should work.

P.S. scope="prototype" is now preferable to singleton="false", which is deprecated syntax - it's more explicit, but does the same thing.
