Can you use @Autowired with static fields?

Question

Is there some way to use @Autowired with static fields. If not, are there some other ways to do this?

Answer 1

Init your autowired component in @PostConstruct method

@Component
public class TestClass {
   private static AutowiredTypeComponent component;

   @Autowired
   private AutowiredTypeComponent autowiredComponent;

   @PostConstruct
   private void init() {
      component = this.autowiredComponent;
   }

   public static void testMethod() {
      component.callTestMethod();
   }
}
