Spring retry XML equivalent to @EnableRetry

Question

I have to work with a project where I cannot use Java-Config for Spring, but I have to use XML-Config. Now I am looking for an XML-Config equivalent to @EnableRetry from Java-Config.

I want this line to work.

@Retryable(SQLException.class)
public void saveOrUpdate(Entity entity) 

Answer 1

Yes, @EnableRetry on an empty @Configuration will work (comment by OP).

Just for completeness, here's the equivalent in XML.

<context:annotation-config />

<aop:aspectj-autoproxy />

<bean class="org.springframework.retry.annotation.RetryConfiguration" />

EDIT

Complete example using XML to enable retry:

@SpringBootApplication
@ImportResource("context.xml")
public class So31923175Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(So31923175Application.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    public ApplicationRunner runner(Foo app) {
        return args -> {
            try {
                app.retry("foo");
            }
            catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        };
    }

    @Component
    public static class Foo {

        @Retryable
        public void retry(String param) {
            System.out.println(param);
            throw new RuntimeException("test retry");
        }

    }

}
