Question

I am new to spring and I wanted to ask whether or not it is possible to pass params to the init and destroy methods of a bean.

Thanks.

No, you can’t. If you need parameters, you will have to inject them as fields beforehand.

Sample Bean

public class Foo{

    @Autowired
    private Bar bar;

    public void init(){
        bar.doSomething();
    }

}

Sample XML:

<bean class="Foo" init-method="init" />
