Question

Is there any way in Spring to load a bean specifically.

I’ve a appContext file having lots of beans.
When loading it using the following code, it loads all beans again.

BeanFactory factory = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("appContext.xml");

Answer 1

What about using ApplicationContextAware?

Bean mapping

<bean id="springApplicationContext" class="SpringApplicationContext"/>

Java implementation

public class SpringApplicationContext implements ApplicationContextAware {

    private static ApplicationContext CONTEXT;

    public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext ctx) throws BeansException {
        CONTEXT = ctx;
    }

    public static Object getBean(String name) {
        return CONTEXT.getBean(name);
    }
}

Then use it like this;

SpringApplicationContext.getBean("myBean");
