When using Spring Boot @ConfigurationProperties binding, is it possible to autowire nested objects (i.e. make them a prototype bean). This would allow auto-config to instantiate a Domain Model instead of just some data beans that require further post-processing.
If post-processing is required, what is the best way to get Spring to post-process an object (as opposed to user doing it manually in each case).
Adapting Spring's documented example:
@ConfigurationProperties("my.service")
public class MyProperties {
private List<Security> security;
// getters / setters...
@Scope("prototype") // FIXME elevate this class into a bean ...
public static class Security {
@Autowired // ... such that basic stuff like this works
private MyService service;
private String username;
private String password;
}
