[Springframework-developer] Type of autowire used in the AbstractPathMapHandlerMapping

[Rodrigo U. F. J. <rod...@us...>]

is there a reason to "autowire by type" be used instead of "autowire by 
name" in the AbstractPathMapHandlerMapping/CommonsPathMapHandlerMapping?
and it is verifying dependencies too, this is a problem if you want to 
map with attributes a MultiActionController
and is a problem too, when like in the application I'm working on, I 
have just one dao implementation (using Hibernate and QBE) and just a 
property in this dao specifies what class it should work with.

I solved my problem for now, changing the line 78 of 
AbstractPathMapHandlerMapping to:

Object handler = beanFactory.autowire(handlerClass, 
AutowireCapableBeanFactory.AUTOWIRE_BY_NAME, false);



what do you think about providing at least a configuration for this 
properties, so the user can choose the behavior of this class?
