'Static Fields + Autowiring in Spring

Can we autowire static fields in spring controller ?

eg:

@Autowired
    public static JNDIEMailSender jNDIEmailSender;

spring autowired

Solution 1:^[1]

No, I don't think that will work. You can add a setter method, annotate it with @Autowired and set the static field in the setter.

@Autowired
void setJNDIEmailSender(JNDIEmailSender jndiEmailSender) {
  ClassName.jNDIEmailSender = jndiEmailSender
}

Spring doesnt autowire static fields
