Component scanning fails if a component does not implement a configured default-init-method [SPR-4246]

[spring-projects-issues]

Timothy Braje opened SPR-4246 and commented

If you configure your bean factory to have a default-init-method and then load beans via component scanning, then the bean factory will fail to initialize if beans discovered via component scanning do not define that init method. I have written a small test application that demonstrates this. There is a run.sh file that will run the app,and demonstrate the failure. If the config file spring-config/spring.xml is modified to uncomment the 'hello' bean, then all works just fine.

Thanks for the report! We simply forgot to set the "enforceInitMethod" and "enforceDestroyMethod" flags accordingly there.

This should be fixed in the next 2.5.1 snapshot (http://static.springframework.org/downloads/nightly/snapshot-download.php?project=SPR). Feel free to give it an early try!
