Custom bean resolver for constructor parameter

Question

Is it possible to provide a custom bean resolver to spring? I have a constructor

Person(@myCustomAnnotation name : String)

I want to be able to put a different value for name based on if the annotation is there or not.

Answer 1

I think the @Value annotation is what you're looking for. Person will have to be a managed bean though.

@Bean("jim")
fun getJim(@Value("\${person.name:Jim Jones}") name : String) = Person(name)
