Spring XML equivalent of @Primary

Question

Is there an XML equivalent of @Primary that can promote one of the multiple qualifying beans

Example Scenario:

I've a spring-boot application with auto-configuration turned on. I've defined multiple datasources, however spring is unable to pick one of the datasources as its default.

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [javax.sql.DataSource] is defined: expected single matching bean but found 2: mysqlDataSource,oracleDataSource

datasources.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:jdbc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc"

        <property name="username" value="root" />
        <property name="password" value="root" />
    </bean>


    <bean id="oracleDataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
        <property name="driverClassName" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" />
        <property name="url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:test" />
        <property name="username" value="scott" />
        <property name="password" value="tiger" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="transactionManager"
    class="org.springframework.batch.support.transaction.ResourcelessTransactionManager" />

</beans>

Answer 1

<bean> property has primary attribute:

<bean primary="true|false"/>

And remember:

If a @Primary-annotated class is declared via XML, @Primary annotation metadata is ignored, and <bean primary="true|false"/> is respected instead.
