Talking more about AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor
AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor object is used to dynamically place objects that depend on the dependent object. Perhaps some of you are wondering how this object can do that, right? Me too, and that’s why I’ve been through the code of the AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor class to see what this object actually did.
OK, first I read its constructor, the content is as follows:

/**
* Create a new AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor
* for Spring's standard {@link Autowired} annotation.
* <p>Also supports JSR-330's {@link javax.inject.Inject} annotation, if available.
*/
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor() {
this.autowiredAnnotationTypes.add(Autowired.class);
this.autowiredAnnotationTypes.add(Value.class);
try {
this.autowiredAnnotationTypes.add((Class<? extends Annotation>)
ClassUtils.forName("javax.inject.Inject", AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.class.getClassLoader()));
logger.info("JSR-330 'javax.inject.Inject' annotation found and supported for autowiring");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
// JSR-330 API not available - simply skip.
}
}
Here, you see, this class has a variable called autowiredAnnotationTypes that contains information about three classes, Autowired.class, Value.class, and Inject.class. It is a variable type Set:
1
private final Set<Class<? extends Annotation>> autowiredAnnotationTypes = new LinkedHashSet<Class<? extends Annotation>>();
This variable is used in 3 different ways to handle 3 annotations: @Autowired, @Value and @Inject.Take a look at these three methods:

@Override
public void postProcessMergedBeanDefinition(RootBeanDefinition beanDefinition, Class<?> beanType, String beanName) {
if (beanType != null) {
InjectionMetadata metadata = findAutowiringMetadata(beanName, beanType, null);
metadata.checkConfigMembers(beanDefinition);
}
}
This method is for @Autowired annotation.

@Override
public PropertyValues postProcessPropertyValues(
PropertyValues pvs, PropertyDescriptor[] pds, Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {
?
InjectionMetadata metadata = findAutowiringMetadata(beanName, bean.getClass(), pvs);
try {
metadata.inject(bean, beanName, pvs);
}
catch (Throwable ex) {
throw new BeanCreationException(beanName, "Injection of autowired dependencies failed", ex);
}
return pvs;
}
This method is for @Value annotation. The use of this annotation, I will say in another tutorial.

/**
* 'Native' processing method for direct calls with an arbitrary target instance,
* resolving all of its fields and methods which are annotated with {@code @Autowired}.
* @param bean the target instance to process
* @throws BeansException if autowiring failed
*/
public void processInjection(Object bean) throws BeansException {
Class<?> clazz = bean.getClass();
InjectionMetadata metadata = findAutowiringMetadata(clazz.getName(), clazz, null);
try {
metadata.inject(bean, null, null);
}
catch (Throwable ex) {
throw new BeanCreationException("Injection of autowired dependencies failed for class [" + clazz + "]", ex);
}
}
This method is for @Inject annotation. The use of this annotation, I will also be covered in another tutorial.
The common point of these three methods is that it calls to another method called findAutowiringMetadata(). And in this method, there is the buildAutowiringMetadata() method, reading the buildAutowiringMetadata() method, you will visualize what the AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor object does to handle the cases in which you declare @Autowired annotation in the variable, in the method, and in the constructor. Same for @Value annotation and @Inject annotation.
Look at the two methods, I just said.

// Fall back to class name as cache key, for backwards compatibility with custom callers.
String cacheKey = (StringUtils.hasLength(beanName) ? beanName : clazz.getName());
// Quick check on the concurrent map first, with minimal locking.

I think you can read this code, right?
