I’ve been asked several times to explain the difference between injecting Spring beans with ‘@Resource’, ‘@Autowired’, and ‘@Inject’. While I received a few opinions from colleagues and read a couple of posts on this topic I didn’t feel like I had a complete picture.
| Annotation | Package | Source |
|---|---|---|
| @Resource | javax.annotation | Java |
| @Inject | javax.inject | Java |
| @Qualifier | javax.inject | Java |
| @Autowired | org.springframework.bean.factory | Spring |
In order to explore the behavior of each annotation I fired up Spring Tool Suite and started debugging the code. I used Spring 3.0.5.RELEASE in my research. The following is a summary of my findings.
I wanted to know how ‘@Resource’, ‘@Autowired’, and ‘@Inject’ resolved dependencies. I created an interface called ‘Party’ and created two implementations classes. This allowed me to inject beans without using the concrete type. This provided the flexibility I needed to determine how Spring resolves beans when there are multiple type matches.
public interface Party { }
|
‘Person’ is a component and it implements ‘Party’.
package com.sourceallies.person;...
@Component
public class Person implements Party { }
|
‘Organization’ is a component and it implements ‘Party’.
package com.sourceallies.organization;...
@Component
public class Organization implements Party { }
|
I setup a Spring context that scans both of these packages for beans marked with ‘@Component’.
<context:component-scan base-package="com.sourceallies.organization"/> <context:component-scan base-package="com.sourceallies.person"/> |
In this test I injected a ‘Party’ bean that has multiple implementations in the Spring context.
@Resource private Party party; |
@Autowired private Party party; |
@Inject private Party party; |
In all three cases a ‘NoSuchBeanDefinitionException’ is thrown. While this exception’s name implies that no beans were found, the message explains that two beans were found. All of these annotations result in the same exception.
org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No unique bean of type [com.sourceallies.Party] is defined: expected single matching bean but found 2: [organization, person] |
In this test I named the Party field person. By default beans marked with ‘@Component’ will have the same name as the class. Therefore the name of the class ‘Person’ is person.
@Resource private Party person; |
@Autowired private Party person; |
@Inject private Party person; |
‘@Resource’ can also take an optional ‘name’ attribute. This is equivalent to the ‘@Resource’ code above. In this case the field variable name remains ‘party’. There is no equivalent syntax for ‘@Autowired’ or ‘@Inject’. Instead you would have to use a ‘@Qualifier’. This syntax will be covered later.
@Resource(name="person") private Party party; |
All four of these styles inject the ‘Person’ bean.
In this test I changed the type to be a ‘Person’.
@Resource private Person party; |
@Autowired private Person party; |
@Inject private Person party; |
All of these annotations inject the ‘Person’ bean.
In this test I use a ‘@Qualifier’ annotation to point to the default name of the ‘Person’ component.
@Resource
@Qualifier("person")
private Party party;
|
@Autowired
@Qualifier("person")
private Party party;
|
@Inject
@Qualifier("person")
private Party party;
|
All of these annotations inject the ‘Person’ bean.
I added a ‘@Qualifier’ annotation to the ‘Person’ class
package com.sourceallies.person;...
@Component
@Qualifier("personBean")
public class Person implements Party { }
|
In this test I use a ‘@Qualifier’ annotation to point to the qualified name of the ‘Person’ component.
@Resource
@Qualifier("personBean")
private Party party;
|
@Autowired
@Qualifier("personBean")
private Party party;
|
@Inject
@Qualifier("personBean")
private Party party;
|
All of these annotations inject the ‘Person’ bean.
In this test I inject a list of beans.
@Resource private List<Party> parties; |
@Autowired private List<Party> parties; |
@Inject private List<Party> parties; |
All of these annotations inject 2 beans into the list. This can also be accomplished with a ‘@Qualifier’. Each bean marked with a specific qualifier will be added to the list.
In this test I add a bad ‘@Qualifier’ and a matching field name.
@Resource
@Qualifier("bad")
private Party person;
|
@Autowired
@Qualifier("bad")
private Party person;
|
@Inject
@Qualifier("bad")
private Party person;
|
In this case the field marked with ‘@Resource’ uses the field name and ignores the ‘@Qualifier’. As a result the ‘Person’ bean is injected.
However the ‘@Autowired’ and ‘@Inject’ field throw a ‘NoSuchBeanDefinitionException’ error because it can not find a bean that matches the ‘@Qualifier’.
org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException:
No matching bean of type [com.sourceallies.Party] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency.
Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true),
@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier(value=bad)}
|
With the exception of test 2 & 7 the configuration and outcomes were identical. When I looked under the hood I determined that the ‘@Autowired’ and ‘@Inject’ annotation behave identically. Both of these annotations use the ‘AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor’ to inject dependencies. ‘@Autowired’ and ‘@Inject’ can be used interchangeable to inject Spring beans. However the ‘@Resource’ annotation uses the ‘CommonAnnotationBeanPostProcessor’ to inject dependencies. Even though they use different post processor classes they all behave nearly identically. Below is a summary of their execution paths.
@Autowired and @Inject
Matches by Type
Restricts by Qualifiers
Matches by Name
@Resource
Matches by Name
Matches by Type
Restricts by Qualifiers (ignored if match is found by name)
While it could be argued that ‘@Resource’ will perform faster by name than ‘@Autowired’ and ‘@Inject’ it would be negligible. This isn’t a sufficient reason to favor one syntax over the others. I do however favor the ‘@Resource’ annotation for it’s concise notation style.
@Resource(name="person") |
@Autowired
@Qualifier("person")
|
@Inject
@Qualifier("person")
|
You may argue that they can be equal concise if you use the field name to identify the bean name.
@Resource private Party person; |
@Autowired private Party person; |
@Inject private Party person; |
True enough, but what happens if you want to refactor your code? By simply renaming the field name you’re no longer referring to the same bean. I recommend the following practices when wiring beans with annotations.
Spring Annotation Style Best Practices
Explicitly name your component [@Component(“beanName”)]
Use ‘@Resource’ with the ‘name’ attribute [@Resource(name=”beanName”)]
Avoid ‘@Qualifier’ annotations unless you want to create a list of similar beans. For example you may want to mark a set of rules with a specific ‘@Qualifier’ annotation. This approach makes it simple to inject a group of rule classes into a list that can be used for processing data.
Scan specific packages for components [context:component-scan base-package=”com.sourceallies.person”]. While this will result in more component-scan configurations it reduces the chance that you’ll add unnecessary components to your Spring context.
Following these guidelines will increase the readability and stability of your Spring annotation configurations.
附:中文解说
spring2.5提供了基于注解（Annotation-based）的配置，我们可以通过注解的方式来完成注入依赖。在Java代码中可以使用 @Resource或者@Autowired注解方式来经行注入。虽然@Resource和@Autowired都可以来完成注入依赖，但它们之间是有区 别的。首先来看一下：
a。@Resource默认是按照名称来装配注入的，只有当找不到与名称匹配的bean才会按照类型来装配注入；
b。@Autowired默认是按照类型装配注入的，如果想按照名称来转配注入，则需要结合@Qualifier一起使用；
c。@Resource注解是又J2EE提供，而@Autowired是由Spring提供，故减少系统对spring的依赖建议使用
@Resource的方式；
d。 @Resource和@Autowired都可以书写标注在字段或者该字段的setter方法之上
2、使用注解的方式，我们需要修改spring配置文件的头信息，修改部分红色标注，如下
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd">
<context:annotation-config/>
</beans>
3、修改以上配置文件的头信息后，我们就可以在Java代码通过注解方式来注入bean，看下面代码
（1）@Resource
public class StudentService3 implements IStudentService {
//@Resource(name="studentDao")放在此处也是可行的
private IStudentDao studentDao;
private String id;
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
@Resource(name="studentDao") // 通过此注解完成从spring配置文件中查找名称为studentDao的bean来装配字段studentDao，如果spring配置文件中不存在 studentDao名称的bean则转向按照bean类型经行查找
public void setStudentDao(IStudentDao studentDao) {
this.studentDao = studentDao;
}
public void saveStudent() {
studentDao.saveStudent();
System.out.print(",ID 为："+id);
}
}
配置文件添加如下信息
<bean id="studentDao" class="com.wch.dao.impl.StudentDao"></bean>
<bean id="studentService3" class="com.wch.service.impl.StudentService3" />
(2)@Autowired
public class StudentService3 implements IStudentService {
//@Autowired放在此处也是可行的
private IStudentDao studentDao;
private String id;
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
@Autowired//通过此注解完成从spring配置文件中 查找满足studentDao类型的bean
//@Qualifier("studentDao")则按照名称经行来查找转配的
public void setStudentDao(IStudentDao studentDao) {
this.studentDao = studentDao;
}
public void saveStudent() {
studentDao.saveStudent();
System.out.print(",ID 为："+id);
}
}
配置文件添加如下信息
<bean id="studentDao" class="com.wch.dao.impl.StudentDao"></bean>
<bean id="studentService3" class="com.wch.service.impl.StudentService3" />
在java代码中可以使用@Autowire或者@Resource注解方式进行装配，这两个注解的区别是：
@Autowire 默认按照类型装配，默认情况下它要求依赖对象必须存在如果允许为null，可以设置它required属性为false，如果我们想使用按照名称装配，可 以结合@Qualifier注解一起使用;
@Resource默认按照名称装配，当找不到与名称匹配的bean才会按照类型装配，可以通过name属性指定，如果没有指定name属 性，当注解标注在字段上，即默认取字段的名称作为bean名称寻找依赖对象，当注解标注在属性的setter方法上，即默认取属性名作为bean名称寻找 依赖对象.
注意：如果没有指定name属性，并且按照默认的名称仍然找不到依赖的对象时候，会回退到按照类型装配，但一旦指定了name属性，就只能按照名称 装配了.
