Spring: Selecting @Service based on profile

Question

I have an interface define as below:

public interface MyService { } 

And two classes implementing it:

@Service @Profile("dev") public class DevImplementation implements MyService { } 

and

@Service @Profile("prod") public class ProdImplementation implements MyService { } 

And there's another service trying to use it:

@Service public MyClass {     @Autowired     MyService myservice; } 

The problem is that I'm getting NoSuchBeanException when running the code. It's run using

mvn spring-boot:run -P dev

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Another way to do this is to have a production profile and the development is implicit on it not being set e.g.

@Component @Profile("prod") public class ProdImplementation implements MyService { } 

... and the developer implementation has a profile of "!prod".

@Component @Profile("!prod") public class DevImplementation implements MyService { } 

So to run in production mode you must type the profile ...

> mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring.profiles.active=prod 

... and development mode doesn't require a profile ...

> mvn spring-boot:run 

IMO a bit easier.
