What Changes

Profile – using @Qualifier

package com.skills421.spring14.beans;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;

public class Profile
{
@Autowired
@Qualifier("student1")
private Student student;

public Profile()
{
System.out.println("Profile()");
}

public void printName()
{
System.out.println("Name: "+student.getName());
}

public void printAge()
{
System.out.println("Age: "+student.getAge());
}
}

Profile – using @Resource

package com.skills421.spring15.beans;

import javax.annotation.Resource;

public class Profile
{
private Student student;

public Profile()
{
System.out.println("Profile()");
}

public Student getStudent()
{
return student;
}

@Resource(name="student1")
public void setStudent(Student student)
{
this.student = student;
}

public void printName()
{
System.out.println("Name: "+student.getName());
}

public void printAge()
{
System.out.println("Age: "+student.getAge());
}
}
