@EventHandler annotated function and Autowired parameters issue

Imported from Google Groups

Hello! This is @ Axon 3.0-M2

From this file:

https://github.com/AxonFramework/AxonFramework/blob/master/quickstart/src/main/java/org/axonframework/quickstart/annotated/ToDoEventHandler.java#L48

If I add an additional parameter, which is a Bean, to be Autowired, such as

public void handle(ToDoItemCompletedEvent event, SomeBean shouldBeAutowired) { |

  • |
    System.out.println(String.format(“We’ve completed the task with id %s”, event.getTodoId())); |
    } |

It is throwing NullPointer Exception.
Am I doing it right? Should I create a ticket on youtrack?

Hi,

can you share the stacktrace you get?

Hi William,

I have just managed to look into this issue. It appears that you get the NullPointerException, because Axon cannot resolve the SomeBean parameter. Although it should not lead to a NPE (but a more descriptive exception), there is a mistake in your code. You need to tell Axon to look for Spring beans as candidates for parameter injection.

The easiest way to do so, is by adding @AnnotationDriven to your Spring @Configuration. Then, on the @Bean methods that create the AggregateAnnotationCommandHandler and EventSourcingRepository, pass a parameter ParameterResolverFactory. The @AnnotationDriven will make sure an appropriate instance is created.
I have just adapted the quickstart sample to show how to do this:
https://github.com/AxonFramework/AxonFramework/commit/4577274f309248d2f4148ae53c8c5e96fc86324c

Note that proper Spring support is work under construction. Soon, the @AnnotationDriven will allow you to annotated your aggregate using @AggregateRoot and all the Spring wiring is automatic…

Cheers,

Allard
