  - ### Method Detail

    - #### isAutowireCandidate

          public boolean isAutowireCandidate(BeanDefinitionHolder bdHolder,
                                    DependencyDescriptor descriptor)

      Determine if the provided bean definition is an autowire candidate.

      To be considered a candidate the bean's autowire-candidate attribute must not have been set to 'false'.

      Specified by:
        `isAutowireCandidate` in interface `AutowireCandidateResolver`
      Parameters:
        `bdHolder` - the bean definition including bean name and aliases
        `descriptor` - the descriptor for the target method parameter or field
      Returns:
        whether the bean definition qualifies as autowire candidate

    - #### getSuggestedValue

          public Object getSuggestedValue(DependencyDescriptor descriptor)

      Description copied from interface: `AutowireCandidateResolver`
      Determine whether a default value is suggested for the given dependency.
      Specified by:
        `getSuggestedValue` in interface `AutowireCandidateResolver`
      Parameters:
        `descriptor` - the descriptor for the target method parameter or field
      Returns:
        the value suggested (typically an expression String), or `null` if none found
