Injecting property into a static final field

I have the following class that takes processing events:

public abstract class EventExecutor {

    public static final EventExecutor ON_BALANCE_CHANGE_EXECUTOR = new EventExecutor() {

        private BalanceDao balanceDao;

        @Override
        public void executeEvent() {
            BigDecimal balance;
            //getting the balance
            balanceDao.add(balance);
        }

        //GET, SET, others
    };

    public abstract void executeEvent();
}

The thing is processing some events means to save some data into a persistent store. Since I use Spring 4 I need to perform a corresponding dependency injection in order to perform db-operation.

Curretly, I intent to allow client to perform event handlings via invoking methods on static final fields in order to increase code readability.

So, there is a possibility to do that via ContextLoader.getCurrentWebApplicationContext().getBean(String beanName) but it introduces spring dependencies which is not a desirable solution.

Maybe there is some spring feature allowing us to do that? Couldn't you suggest anything about that?

Since you create object by hand you cannot inject beans directly in anonymous class. The possible solution is to create static inner class for ON_BALANCE_CHANGE_EXECUTOR and define bean of this type in your config.

public abstract class EventExecutor {
public static class OnBalanceChangeExecutor extends EventExecutor {

        private BalanceDao balanceDao;

        @Override
        public void executeEvent() {
            BigDecimal balance;
            //getting the balance
            balanceDao.add(balance);
        }

        //GET, SET, others
    }}

After that you can create bean in your context config:

<bean id="onBalanceChangeExecutor" class = "your.package.EventExecutor$OnBalanceChangeExecutor">
<property name="balanceDao" ref="balanceDao"/>
</bean>
