@Autowired an object from external Jar

Medo :

I would like to autowire an object from an external JAR that I use it in my application:

@Autowired
PythonInterpreter interp;

I get this Exception :

Field interp in com.package.services.ServicesImpl required a bean of type 'org.python.util.PythonInterpreter' that could not be found.

Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'org.python.util.PythonInterpreter' in your configuration.

I know that @ComponentScan will only work if the class is annotated with @Component.

GhostCat salutes Monica C. :

The point is: you have to tell Spring how to create an instance of that class.

See their example in their documentation:

@Configuration
public class AppConfig {

    @Bean
    public MyService myService() {
        return new MyServiceImpl();
    }
}

So, as the first comment correctly tells you: you need to define a method that somehow creates that object. Then you annotate that method as @Bean, and make sure that Spring finds it as @Configuration.
