How to correct inject map of bean in spring context

Question

I am using component-scan in my spring application. So in spring context I created map:

Answer 1

If I were you, I would use Java Config to create a Map, since Java is the best way to create a Java object :) :). Your configuration code would look like this:

@Bean(name = "mapBean")
public Map<String, MyCustomClassName1> mapBean() {
    Map<String, MyCustomClassName1> map = new HashMap<>();
    //populate the map here - you will need to @Autowire the references if they are not defined in this configuration
    return map;
}

And then I would inject it into wherever it's needed like so:

@Resource(name="mapBean")
private Map<String, MyCustomClassName1> map;

Note the use of @Resource instead of @Autowired or @Inject

Answer 2

Quote from the documentation:

An autowired Maps values will consist of all bean instances that match the expected type, and the Maps keys will contain the corresponding bean names.

I think that just changing @Inject with @Resource will do it.
