In the next example, the dataSource method is a bean that is called twice. However, we know that a bean is a singleton by default in Spring (see the link below):
@Configuration
public class AppConfig {
@Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
return new JdbcDataSource();
}
@Bean
public DevRepository devRepository() {
JdbcDevRepository repository = new JdbcDevRepository(dataSource);
repository.setDataSource(dataSource());
return repository;
}
@Bean
public ProdRepository prodRepository() {
JdbcProdRepository repository = new JdbcProdRepository();
repository.setDataSource(dataSource());
return repository;
}
}
At startup time, a subclass is created using cglib (Code Generation Library). It only calls super in the first invocation of the bean, then one instance is cached by the application context and the child class is the entry point.
@Configuration
public class AppConfig$$EnhancerByCGLIB$ extends AppConfig{
...
}
However, cglib does not support classes with constructors (autowired constructors are possible since Spring 4.3. See Spring Injection Types), so Spring now uses objenesis to overcome this.
