Spring @PostConstruct function in a @Repository called multiple times
- by Seth
I have a DAO that I'm trying to inject into a couple different places:
@Repository
public class FooDAO
{
@Autowired
private HibernateManager sessionFactory;
@PostConstruct
public void doSomeDatabaseStuff() throws DataAccessException
{
...
}
}
And my application-context.xml is a fairly simple context:component-scan:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd" default-init-method="init" default-destroy-method="destroy">
<context:component-scan base-package="top.level"/>
</beans>
The DAO is accessed from a couple servlets in my application server through @Autowired properties. As far as I understand, anything annotated with @Repository should default to being a singleton and thus doSomeDatabaseStuff() should only be called once (as is my intention). The problem is that I'm seeing doSomeDatabaseStuff() called multiple times.
What's going on here? Have I set something up incorrectly? I'm using spring 3.0.0.
Thanks for the help.
