Type safe usage of ConfigurationProperties in @Requires ?

[tobiasschaefer]

I'm using @ConfigurationProperties a lot for type safe configuration classes with the default in a single place. That's perfect.

However, if I have a bean with a @Required annotation I need to

1. reference the property by name, i.e. a string
2. and duplicate the default value (if I already have a ConfigurationProperties class for it)

e.g.

@Singleton
@Requires(property="foo", value="false", defaultValue="true") 
public class MyBean () {

}

Is there any way to reference the property of the ConfigurationProperties? This would make it type safe and also make sure that the default is only in the ConfigurationProperties.

Something like the following for a boolean:

@Requires(value="#{myConfiguration.isFoo}")

Thanks!

Not currently no. One day we may implement an expression language, but not yet
