Aliasing a bean outside the bean definition using Java config in Spring Boot

Question

How to alias a bean outside the bean definition using Java config in Spring Boot?

Answer 1

I have this as well, and solved it like this:

@Component
public class AliasConfiguration implements BeanFactoryPostProcessor {
    @Override
    public void postProcessBeanFactory(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) throws BeansException {
        beanFactory.registerAlias("originalBeanName", "newAlias");
        beanFactory.registerAlias("originalBeanName", "newAlias2");
        beanFactory.registerAlias("otherOriginalBeanName", "newAlias3");
    }
}
