How to define an inner class bean

Try to define the inner class as a bean normally

Suppose you have defined the following class. This is a test of a method that adds two arguments ʻint` and returns.

`InnerTest.java`


@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class InnerTest {

  @Inject
  Inner inner;

  @Test
  public void test() {
    int a = 1;
    int b = 2;
    //Assertion
    assertThat(inner.add(a, b), equalTo(a + b));
  }

  /**
   *Inner class for testing
   *
   */
  public class Inner {
    //Just add the values of the arguments and return
    public int add(int a, int b) {
      return a + b;
    }
  }
}

So, I think that the bean definition is as follows.

`InnerTest-context.xml`


<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.xsd
   ">
  <bean class="example.InnerTest.Inner" />
</beans>

When you run ...

`Error log`

why! Bean defined!

When I googled, there was a person asking the same question.

How to create a Spring Bean of a Inner class?

--Make the inner class static.

--Connect with $ instead of.

If you do either of

How did you come to post this article?

I don't know if there is demand, but I needed it for the system I'm developing in business, so as a note: stuck_out_tongue :. For example, in a test, if you define the test Controller as a static inner class, the package will be only the test class and it will be easier to see: v :.
