You are right, it is a bad idea to do any work in the constructor in
this case; you need to let Spring finish its wiring.
Indeed there is a standard annotation for doing post-initialization
work:
javax.annotation.PostConstruct. Spring recognizes this annotation when
its
annotation post processor is registered.[1]
So all you need is something like:
@PostConstruct
public void init() {
// do initialization work
// the name of the method can be something else than 'init'
}
I use this mechanism a lot and it works well.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Freddy
