Re: Can @SpringBeans be optional?
Yeah, I read your post again after I sent that. You weren't necessarily saying that it was a DI-only trick. I do agree with you that it's the way to go. The Null Object Pattern would be perfect for this situation (I thought the exact same thing when I read the question).

Re: Can @SpringBeans be optional?
not right now. you can always file an rfe to add something like @SpringBean(optional=true) -igor On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 3:46 AM, Anthony DePalma fatef...@gmail.com wrote: Often with spring I give some of my services extra features if they are configured in the xml for it, but otherwise if they are null they are simply ignored.

Re: Can @SpringBeans be optional?
Define a getter for your service that returns null by default, and in your Spring enabled session return the injected bean.
