Get all beans implementing a generic interface in Spring

Question

How do I get a reference of all beans implementing a specific generic interface (e.g. Filter>) in Spring?

This is what I want to achieve wi

Answer 1

Just for reference, the simplest solution I could construct was this:

    Map filters = context.getBeansOfType(Filter.class);
    for(Filter filter: filters.values()){
        try {
            if (!filter.approve(event)) {
                return;  // abort if a filter does not approve the event.
            }
        } catch (ClassCastException ignored){ }
    }

And it worked quite well for prototyping.
