Description

I have a bean where I'd like to annotate one of the methods with the @RequiresAuthentication annotation.

When using the @RequiresAuthentication annotation and calling applicationContext.getBean(Class<?>) spring does not find my bean. Commenting out @RequiresAuthentication allows spring to find the bean.

Using the string name of the bean instead of the type (i.e. applicationContext.getBean(String)) does work.

// this causes spring to be unable to find the bean when using @RequiresAuthentication
Class<? extends Processor> processorType = command.getProcessorType();
Processor processor = applicationContext.getBean(processorType);

// However this works:
Processor processor = applicationContext.getBean(processorStringName);
