Locating Spring Beans

See Also

When working in a Spring-enabled project, you may often need to quickly reference bean declarations that you or other developers created elsewhere within a project. The Go to Spring Bean dialog allows you to quickly find Spring beans that you have declared in your configuration files.

To locate a Spring bean:

  1. From the IDE's main menu, choose Navigate > Go to Spring Bean. The Go to Spring Bean dialog opens.
  2. In the Type Name text field, enter the first few characters of the bean you are searching for. The IDE filters the beans whose names begin with the entered characters and displays the results in the Types Found pane.
  3. Click on one of the results, and the configuration file containing the bean declaration opens in the Source Editor with the cursor on the first line of the declaration.
