Can you use @Autowired with static fields?

Question

Is there some way to use @Autowired with static fields. If not, are there some other ways to do this?

Answer 1

You can use ApplicationContextAware

@Component
public class AppContext implements ApplicationContextAware{
    public static ApplicationContext applicationContext;

    public AppBeans(){
    }

    @Override
    public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext) throws BeansException {
        this.applicationContext = applicationContext;
    }
}

then

static ABean bean = AppContext.applicationContext.getBean("aBean",ABean.class);
