Conditional @PostConstruct annotation

Question

I sometimes may not need to post-construct of a bean at startup according to values passed via JVM argument.

I tried @Conditional annotation but it only works on @Bean annotations.

Have you tried/needed such a thing before?

Answer 1

AFAIK Conditional can not be mix with postconstruct. So my suggetions

1. Add two diferent beans one with postconstruct and one without as use @Conditional in beans declaration

2. Add programatic code validatiing your application args like:

   import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;
   
   private final Environment env;
   
   public void execute() {
       if (env.getProperty("condition") == "condition") {
       }
   }
   

3. Use aproximation in 1 but @Profile and pass active profile as parameter -Dspring.profiles.active=my_profile
