How to load all beans lazily with @ComponentScan in Spring?

Question

I am using Java-based config to set up my Spring application context like this:

@Configuration
@Lazy
@ComponentScan(basePackageClasses = {MyProject.class, Ot         


        

Answer 1

As of version 4.1 RC2, this bug is fixed, and you can accomplish lazy loading on component scan with:

@ComponentScan(basePackages = ["..."], lazyInit = true)
