How to refer to another bean as a property in annotation-based configuration file

Question

In XML context based bean configuration file, if I want to refer a bean as property, I would use:

<bean class="com.example.Example" id="someId">
    <property name="someProp" refer="anotherBean"/>
</bean>
<bean class="com.example.AnotherBean" id="anotherBean">
</bean>

So the Example bean will use the anotherBean as its property

So in the concept of annotation-based configuration java file:

@Configuration
class GlobalConfiguration {
    @Bean
    public Example createExample(){
        return;
        //here how should I refer to the bean below?
    }

    @Bean
    public AnotherBean createAnotherBean(){
        return new AnotherBean();
    }
}

Answer 1

Just do:

@Configuration 
class GlobalConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public Example createExample(@Autowired AnotherBean anotherBean){
        //use another bean
        return new Example(anotherBean);
    }

    @Bean
    public AnotherBean createAnotherBean(){
        return new AnotherBean();
    }
}
