David Bosschaert [http://community.jboss.org/people/bosschaert] created the discussion "Is there auto-injection going on?" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/539804#539804 -------------------------------------------------------------- Looking at the Spring demo in the User's Guide examples I can see that it references the mcBean and gets injected by it. However the mcBean itself doesn't explicitly reference the SimpleBean... <bean id="testBean" class="org.jboss.example.microcontainer.spring.SimpleBean">       <!-- other stuff -->    <property name="refBean"><ref bean="mcBean"></ref></property></bean> <bean xmlns="urn:jboss:bean-deployer:2.0" name="mcBean" class="org.jboss.example.microcontainer.spring.MCBean"></bean> however, the MCBean still gets injected by the SimpleBean through the setSimpleBean() method public class MCBean {    public void setSimpleBean(SimpleBean simpleBean)    {       System.out.println("Setting simple bean: " + simpleBean);    } } Is there some auto-injection going on or am I missing the declaration for it somewhere? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/539804#539804] Start a new discussion in JBoss Microcontainer at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
