Spring Boot @ConditionalOnBean Annotation Example

In this section we will learn about @ConditionalOnBean Annotation.


The @ConditionalOnBean annotation let a bean be loaded based on the presence of specific bean inside Spring container.

The @ConditionalOnBean annotation may be used on any class annotated with @Component@Service & @Repository or on methods annotated with @Bean.

1. Using @ConditionalOnBean on @Bean method

For example, @ConditionalOnBean(name = "emailNotificationProvider"), when the Bean of name "emailNotificationProvider" exists in the container, the bean emailNotification will be loaded.

@Bean("emailNotification")
@ConditionalOnBean(name = "emailNotificationProvider")
public EmailNotificationService emailNotificationService()
{
return new EmailNotificationService();
}


2. Using @ConditionalOnBean on @Service class

For example, @ConditionalOnBean(name = "smsNotificationProvider"), when the Bean of name "smsNotificationProvider" exists in the container, the bean smsNotification will be loaded.

@Service("smsNotification")
@ConditionalOnBean(name = "smsNotificationProvider")
public class SMSNotificationService {

public SMSNotificationService() {
System.out.println("SMSNotificationService Constructor");
}
}


The following example creates a Spring Boot web application which uses @ConditionalOnBean annotation.

EmailNotificationService.java

package com.knf.dev.demo.service;

public class EmailNotificationService {

public EmailNotificationService() {
System.out.println("EmailNotificationService Constructor");
}
}


TwitterNotificationService.java

package com.knf.dev.demo.service;

public class TwitterNotificationService {

public TwitterNotificationService() {
System.out.println("TwitterNotificationService Constructor");
}
}


AppConfig.java

package com.knf.dev.demo.config;

import com.knf.dev.demo.service.EmailNotificationService;
import com.knf.dev.demo.service.TwitterNotificationService;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.condition.ConditionalOnBean;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.condition.ConditionalOnResource;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class AppConfig {

@Bean("emailNotification")
@ConditionalOnBean(name = "emailNotificationProvider")
public EmailNotificationService emailNotificationService()
{
return new EmailNotificationService();
}

@Bean("twitterNotification")
public TwitterNotificationService twitterNotificationService()
{
return new TwitterNotificationService();
}
}


SMSNotificationService.java

package com.knf.dev.demo.service;

import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.condition.ConditionalOnBean;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Service("smsNotification")
@ConditionalOnBean(name = "smsNotificationProvider")
public class SMSNotificationService {

public SMSNotificationService() {
System.out.println("SMSNotificationService Constructor");
}
}


Run the application - Application.java

package com.knf.dev.demo;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

public static void main(String[] args) {
ConfigurableApplicationContext context =
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);

context.close();
}
}

Application is the entry point that sets up the Spring Boot application. The @SpringBootApplication annotation enables auto-configuration and component scanning. 

Let's run this Spring boot application from either IntelliJ IDEA IDE by right click - Run 'Application.main()'
Or you can use the below maven command to run:

mvn spring-boot:run

Console Output:
TwitterNotificationService Constructor
