Is possible to inject method with arguments in Spring?

Question

From docs:

In the client class containing the method to be injected (the CommandManager in this case), the method that is to be 'injected' must have a signature of the following form:

<public|protected> [abstract] <return-type> theMethodName(no-arguments);

Does exists way to workaround this limitation?

What would you want Spring to do with the arguments of the method? — JB Nizet

Yes you can. Here is an example from the spring docs, http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/beans.html

 @Autowired
 public void prepare(MovieCatalog movieCatalog,
                   CustomerPreferenceDao customerPreferenceDao) {
   this.movieCatalog = movieCatalog;
   this.customerPreferenceDao = customerPreferenceDao;
 }

Isn't OP asking about lookup methods? It's literally the method that is getting injected via proxying, not a method being injected its arguments.

mmm, the question was a little hard to understand. I thought I had the meaning of it...but reading your comment and re-reading the question, it sounds like you could be correct.

How do you call such a method? WIth 0 arguments and then some magic in an overloaded method will get the beans/arguments from the context?
