IOC : Autowiring by type using annotations on field name

Dean.java:

package com.lnn.ioc;

public class Dean {

      private String name;

      public String getName() {

            return name;

      }

      public void setName(String name) {

            this.name = name;

      }

}

Bean.java:

package com.lnn.ioc;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;

public class Bean {

      @Autowired

      private Dean dean = null;

      public Dean getDean() {

            return dean;

      }

      public void setDean(Dean dean) {

            this.dean = dean;

      }

}

ioc.xml:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

      xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"    

      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans

      <bean id="dean" class="com.lnn.ioc.Dean">

            <property name="name" value="value"/>

      </bean>

      <bean id="bean" class="com.lnn.ioc.Bean"/>

</beans>

Test.java:

package com.lnn.ioc;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;

import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public class Test {

      public static void main(String[] args) {

            ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("ioc.xml");

            Bean bean = context.getBean("bean", Bean.class);

            System.out.println(bean.getDean().getName());

      }
