Spring Data - Repository bean ID

Question

I cannot understand how to explicitly assign an ID to a repository bean in Spring Data.

To be clear, suppose I defined the following interface in package com.acme.repositories

public interface MyJpaRepo extends JpaRespository<MyEntity, Long> {
}

As per documentation I can activate Spring Data JPA repositories simply by adding

<jpa:repositories base-package="com.acme.repositories" />

Last, suppose that I have another bean in the same context which constructor requires a JpaRepository to be passed in. I would define it like that

<bean class="x.y.z.MyBean">
    <constructor-arg name="repository" ref="XXX" />
</bean>

Now, what should I use in place of XXX ? Or, even better, how can I explicitly assign an ID to the MyJpaRepo repository beans?

Thanks!

Answer 1

In place of XXX use myJpaRepo .

Answer 2

<bean class="x.y.z.MyBean">
    <constructor-arg name="repository" ref="<with qualified path>MyJpaRepo " />
</bean>
