Spring2.5 had a feature called dependency-check which can be given for a bean tag

Spring2.5 had a feature called dependency-check which can be given for a bean tag and default-dependency-check which can be given at the parent level <beans> tag.

Eg: <bean id="soandSo" class="..." dependecy-check=""/>

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd" 
    default-dependency-check="all">

however in Spring3.x these attributes are deprecated, is there any alternate way of setting dependency-check apart from using @Required attribute and any equivalent to default-dependency-check in Spring3.x??

    This feature is no loger supported since Spring 3.x. You can achieve similar result by telling Spring to respect @Required and @Autowired annotations. It can be done using any of the following configuration options within XML context file:

    1. <context:annotation-config/>
    2. <context:component-scan base-package="*"/>

    You can skip those options by registering appropriate BeanPostProcessors such as AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor and RequiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.
