7.6. Autowire
Autowiring, or contextual injection, is a common feature with IoC frameworks. Example 7.14, “Include and Exclude with Autowiring” shows you how to use or exclude beans with autowiring.
Example 7.14. Include and Exclude with Autowiring
<bean name="Square" class="org.jboss.demos.ioc.autowire.Square" autowire-candidate="false"/>
<bean name="Circle" class="org.jboss.demos.ioc.autowire.Circle"/>
<bean name="ShapeUser" class="org.jboss.demos.ioc.autowire.ShapeUser">
<constructor>
<parameter><inject/></parameter>
</constructor>
</bean>
<bean name="ShapeHolder" class="org.jboss.demos.ioc.autowire.ShapeHolder">
<incallback method="addShape"/>
<uncallback method="removeShape"/>
</bean>
<bean name="ShapeChecker" class="org.jboss.demos.ioc.autowire.ShapesChecker"/>
In both cases - ShapeUser and ShapeChecker - only Circle should be used, since Square is excluded in the contextual binding.
