Injecting BeanFactory into a Bean

Question

I want to inject a Spring BeanFactory to a Bean created by the same BeanFactory is the any way to do so?

by the way, I'm developing a web application. If not I know that I can get the BeanFactory by having RequestContext but the bean I want to inject the BeanFactory is not in the requestContext but still in the application context. can I do that?

If annotation-config mode is enabled then this should work

class Bean @Autowired BeanFactory factory; ...

Your bean can implement BeanFactoryAware. By implementing this interface, your bean will receive the BeanFactory through a call to this method:

void setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory) throws BeansException

By the way, there is a similar interface (ApplicationContextAware) in order to retrieve the ApplicationContext if you need to.
