There’s no way (at least right now) to access base-package variable from context:component-scan. You have two options, either specify base package in source code or in bean definition. In my projects, I’m doing the first version with slight modification - in source code I have specified default base package that can be overwritten by using setBasePackage(String).

As for 2nd question, if you’re using context:component-scan you don’t need to do anything except adding @Component to the class that implement custom scanner.

Thanks for reading ;-)

Also, how I declare this new scanner in the application context file ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thanks for your post, that’s exactly what I need.
I have just a question about the “basePackages” variable, where does it come from ? I didn’t manage to find where..?

Thanks a lot

Thomas
