Wiring Spring bean through annotations and xml context

I've got the following Spring service:

@Service
public class Worker {

    @Autowired
    private MyExecutorService executor;

    @Autowired
    private IRun run;

    private Integer startingPoint;

    // Remainder omitted

}

Now I want to load the startingPoint through a .properties file.

Is it possible to w开发者_如何学JAVAire a Spring service through annotations and an xml context at the same time?

Maybe something like this:

<bean id="worker" class="Worker">
    <property name="startingPoint">
        <value>${startingPoint}</value>
    </property>
</bean>

startingPoint is wired through the xml context file, everything else gets auto-wired.

Yes! This is most definitely possible, and it's a good way to go if you can't get around using a little bit of XML. Just leave all your annotated fields unspecified, and they'll get injected auto-magically.

Though just to be clear, I believe that you'll have to provide a setter for your Integer field. Spring doesn't want to reach in directly and set fields via the XML descriptor.
