Spring 注入集合类型

最近有朋友问我如下问题：

我定义了一个类： 

@Service 
public class StringTest implements CachedRowSet,SortedSet<String>,Cloneable 

@Controller 
public class HomeController { 
@Autowired 
CachedRowSet message; 

@Autowired 
CachedRowSet message1; 
} 

 这里CachedRowSet ， 等其他接口都是可以注入的，包括StringTest  也行。 
但是使用： 

@Autowired 
SortedSet<String> message

 就不行了。启动报错。 

源码分析：

org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory

	protected Object doResolveDependency(DependencyDescriptor descriptor, Class<?> type, String beanName,
			Set<String> autowiredBeanNames, TypeConverter typeConverter) throws BeansException {

		Object value = getAutowireCandidateResolver().getSuggestedValue(descriptor);
		if (value != null) {
			if (value instanceof String) {
				String strVal = resolveEmbeddedValue((String) value);
				BeanDefinition bd = (beanName != null && containsBean(beanName) ? getMergedBeanDefinition(beanName) : null);
				value = evaluateBeanDefinitionString(strVal, bd);
			}
			TypeConverter converter = (typeConverter != null ? typeConverter : getTypeConverter());
			return (descriptor.getField() != null ?
					converter.convertIfNecessary(value, type, descriptor.getField()) :
					converter.convertIfNecessary(value, type, descriptor.getMethodParameter()));
		}

		if (type.isArray()) {
			Class<?> componentType = type.getComponentType();
			Map<String, Object> matchingBeans = findAutowireCandidates(beanName, componentType, descriptor);
			if (matchingBeans.isEmpty()) {
				if (descriptor.isRequired()) {
					raiseNoSuchBeanDefinitionException(componentType, "array of " + componentType.getName(), descriptor);
				}
				return null;
			}
			if (autowiredBeanNames != null) {
				autowiredBeanNames.addAll(matchingBeans.keySet());
			}
			TypeConverter converter = (typeConverter != null ? typeConverter : getTypeConverter());
			return converter.convertIfNecessary(matchingBeans.values(), type);
		}
		else if (Collection.class.isAssignableFrom(type) && type.isInterface()) {
			Class<?> elementType = descriptor.getCollectionType();
			if (elementType == null) {
				if (descriptor.isRequired()) {
					throw new FatalBeanException("No element type declared for collection [" + type.getName() + "]");
				}
				return null;
			}
			Map<String, Object> matchingBeans = findAutowireCandidates(beanName, elementType, descriptor);
			if (matchingBeans.isEmpty()) {
				if (descriptor.isRequired()) {
					raiseNoSuchBeanDefinitionException(elementType, "collection of " + elementType.getName(), descriptor);
				}
				return null;
			}
			if (autowiredBeanNames != null) {
				autowiredBeanNames.addAll(matchingBeans.keySet());
			}
			TypeConverter converter = (typeConverter != null ? typeConverter : getTypeConverter());
			return converter.convertIfNecessary(matchingBeans.values(), type);
		}
		else if (Map.class.isAssignableFrom(type) && type.isInterface()) {
			Class<?> keyType = descriptor.getMapKeyType();
			if (keyType == null || !String.class.isAssignableFrom(keyType)) {
				if (descriptor.isRequired()) {
					throw new FatalBeanException("Key type [" + keyType + "] of map [" + type.getName() +
							"] must be assignable to [java.lang.String]");
				}
				return null;
			}
			Class<?> valueType = descriptor.getMapValueType();
			if (valueType == null) {
				if (descriptor.isRequired()) {
					throw new FatalBeanException("No value type declared for map [" + type.getName() + "]");
				}
				return null;
			}
			Map<String, Object> matchingBeans = findAutowireCandidates(beanName, valueType, descriptor);
			if (matchingBeans.isEmpty()) {
				if (descriptor.isRequired()) {
					raiseNoSuchBeanDefinitionException(valueType, "map with value type " + valueType.getName(), descriptor);
				}
				return null;
			}
			if (autowiredBeanNames != null) {
				autowiredBeanNames.addAll(matchingBeans.keySet());
			}
			return matchingBeans;
		}
		else {
			Map<String, Object> matchingBeans = findAutowireCandidates(beanName, type, descriptor);
			if (matchingBeans.isEmpty()) {
				if (descriptor.isRequired()) {
					raiseNoSuchBeanDefinitionException(type, "", descriptor);
				}
				return null;
			}
			if (matchingBeans.size() > 1) {
				String primaryBeanName = determinePrimaryCandidate(matchingBeans, descriptor);
				if (primaryBeanName == null) {
					throw new NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException(type, matchingBeans.keySet());
				}
				if (autowiredBeanNames != null) {
					autowiredBeanNames.add(primaryBeanName);
				}
				return matchingBeans.get(primaryBeanName);
			}
			// We have exactly one match.
			Map.Entry<String, Object> entry = matchingBeans.entrySet().iterator().next();
			if (autowiredBeanNames != null) {
				autowiredBeanNames.add(entry.getKey());
			}
			return entry.getValue();
		}
	}

 

从上边的源码大家可以看出：

1、首先判断注入的类型，如果是数组、Collection、Map，则注入的是元素数据，即查找与元素类型相同的Bean的注入到集合，而不是找跟集合类型相同的

2、对于Map，key只能是String类型，而且默认是Bean的名字

结论：

1、对于数组、集合、Map，注入的元素类型，如SortedSet<String> 其实是找所有String类型的Bean注入到集合

2、Map，key只能是String类型，而且默认是Bean的名字
