I have a spring application and want to create a bean at runtime per request to inject it into another class, just like @Producer for CDI.
My bean is just a simple POJO:
public class UserDetails {
private String name;
// getter / setter ...
public UserDetails(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
My producer class looks like this:
@Configuration
public class UserFactory {
@Bean
@Scope("request")
public UserDetails createUserDetails() {
// this method should be called on every request
String name = SecurityContextHolder.getContext()
.getAuthentication().getPrincipal(); // get some user details, just an example (I am aware of Principal)
// construct a complex user details object here
return new UserDetails(name)
}
}
And this is the class where the UserDetails instance should be injected:
@RestController
@RequestMapping(value = "/api/something")
public class MyResource {
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public List<String> getSomething(UserDetails userDetails) {
// the userdetails should be injected here per request, some annotations missing?
// do something
}
}
The problem is that Spring complains at runtime about no default constructor (of course).
Failed to instantiate [UserDetails]: No default constructor found
But this is intended and I want to call my own factory to let it handle the Instantiation.
How can I achieve this? Why is UserFactory never called?
