Injectable Factory Method with Spring Boot

Do you know how to implement the factory method, but you're not quite sure how to implement it when you are using dependency injection in your application? If that is you, you have come to the right place. In this video, I will show you how to make a classic factory method injectable with Spring Boot and Java.
If you do not know what the factory pattern is, or how to implement it in Java, then first watch my other video - Factory Pattern in Java: Creating Objects with Ease: • Factory Pattern in Jav...

Firstly, thank you for your effort. I have a question about the injectablity of concrete services. Why they couldn't effectively injectable at first and with what change they became injectable?

Thank you for your question @selvisokak. Due to the simplicity of the example used it appears as if no change is needed. However, if the concrete services had no "non-argument" constructors and only constructers with parameters/dependencies, then it would make more sense why the factory method (rather than the concrete services) would not be injectable. Meaning in the initial factory method, we explicitly instantiated the classes, so the factory method would have needed to pass those constructor parameters. Each parameter could for example be another service with it's own dependencies. In other words, it was the factory method that broke DI rather than the concrete services.

Service Locator is way cleaner and easy to scale

Thanks, we'll definetly check out Service Locator!
