Annotation Type ConditionalOnSingleCandidate

    @Conditional(org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.condition.OnBeanCondition.class)
    public @interface ConditionalOnSingleCandidate
    Conditional that only matches when a bean of the specified class is already contained in the BeanFactory and a single candidate can be determined.

    The condition will also match if multiple matching bean instances are already contained in the BeanFactory but a primary candidate has been defined; essentially, the condition match if auto-wiring a bean with the defined type will succeed.

    The condition can only match the bean definitions that have been processed by the application context so far and, as such, it is strongly recommended to use this condition on auto-configuration classes only. If a candidate bean may be created by another auto-configuration, make sure that the one using this condition runs after.

        Class<?> value
        The class type of bean that should be checked. The condition matches if a bean of the class specified is contained in the BeanFactory and a primary candidate exists in case of multiple instances.

        This attribute may not be used in conjunction with type(), but it may be used instead of type().

        Returns:
        the class type of the bean to check
        Default:
        java.lang.Object.class
