Spring Autowiring at class initialization

Question

Could the Autowiring using @Autowired spring annotation happen at class initialization, and not just before constructor call ? thanks for help

Answer 1

Ass described here: https://blog.jdriven.com/2015/03/spicy-spring-different-ways-of-autowiring/ :

Constructor Autowiring

Method Autowiring

with this ways of inject dependencies you have more control over the logic you want to apply during a bean initialization.

Answer 2

To elucidate on what rperes said, the InjectableBean is being injected at construction, but if you have not configured InjectableBean as a component to be injected, then you will have problems.

Check that your configuration for InjectableBean is correct. Have a look at Spring: Properly setup @ComponentScan
