How to inject dependencies into a self-instantiated object in Spring?

by

You can do this using the autowireBean() method of AutowireCapableBeanFactory. You pass it an arbitrary object, and Spring will treat it like something it created itself, and will apply the various autowiring bits and pieces.

To get hold of the AutowireCapableBeanFactory, just autowire that:

private @Autowired AutowireCapableBeanFactory beanFactory;

public void doStuff() {
   MyBean obj = new MyBean();
   beanFactory.autowireBean(obj);
   // obj will now have its dependencies autowired.
}
