asking because it doesn’t seem to be, I’m ending up with this ….

Parameter 2 of constructor in com.potreromed.gateway.usecase.InitialFoleySetupApplicationService required a bean of type 'com.potreromed.gateway.model.PatientService' that could not be found.
    Action:
    Consider defining a bean of type 'com.potreromed.gateway.model.PatientService' in your configuration.

Are you sure it works with @Service like you are trying to use it? At least it should work together with @Bean but then you need a bit different approach

[xenoterracide]

@Jukka Siivonen no I’m not sure

[xenoterracide]

using it the way the example shows does work though 😕 but so much more verbose

[Jukka Siivonen]

Not sure what your use case is but I have a feeling that Conditional is meant primarly for auto configuration purposes

[xenoterracide]

setting up the default for a pluggable system

[Jukka Siivonen]

Yeah, most auto configuration I've seen does that I guess, but they are own type like FooAutoConfiguration with @Bean function and logic to create that default implementation

[xenoterracide]

right

[xenoterracide]

I’m probably going to open an issue for this because I think it should work. Just so wilkinsona can close it

[xenoterracide]

I kind of wonder what kind of class it can be applied to since the annotation is class applicable not just method

[sandjelkovic]

I would guess on Configuration classes also annotated with @Configuration
