CORE

why

Spring framework ?

• Spring Framework does not enforce any specific programming model it has become widely popular in the Java community primarily as an alternative and replacement for the Enterprise JavaBean model

CORE

why

Spring framework ?

• Wiring components (JavaBeans) through Dependency Injection
• Design to interfaces
  • Insulates a user of a functionality from implementation details

CORE

why

Spring framework ?

• Simplify use of popular technologies
• Integration with other technologies
  • EJB for J2EE
  • Hibernate, iBates, JDBC (for data access)
  • Velocity (for presentation)
  • Struts and WebWork (For web)
  • Java Persistence API (JPA)

CORE

Spring framework architecture

CORE

Inversion of Control (IoC)

• IoC is a principle that externalizes the creation and management of component dependencies.

CORE

Dependency Injection (DI)

• Aims to offer a simpler mechanism for provisioning component dependencies and managing these dependencies throughout their lifecycles.
• "Hollywood Principle"
  • Don't call me, I'll call you
• "Container" resolves (injects) dependencies of components by setting implementation object (push)

CORE

Two Dependency Injection Variants

• Constructor dependency Injection
  • Dependencies are provided through the constructors of the component
• Setter dependency injection
  • Dependencies are provided through the JavaBean-style setter methods of the component
  • More popular than Constructor dependency injection

CORE

Constructor Dependency Injection

public class ConstructorInjection {

    private Dependency dep;
    
    public ConstructorInjection(Dependency dep) {
        this.dep = dep;
    }
}
				

CORE

Setter Dependency Injection

public class SetterInjection {
			
    private Dependency dep;
    
    public void setMyDependency(Dependency dep) {
        this.dep = dep;
    }
}

DI Support in Spring 

CORE

Sub-topics

• BeanFactory interface
• XmlBeanFactory implementation
• Bean configuration file
  • Setter dependency injection
  • Constructor dependency injection

CORE

BeanFactory

• BeanFactory object is responsible for managing beans and their dependencies
• Your application interacts with Spring's DI container through BeanFactory interface
  • BeanFactory object has to be created by the application typically in the form of XmlBeanFactory
  • Once created, the application can access the beans via BeanFactory interface

CORE

BeanFactory Implementations

• XmlBeanFactory
  • Convenience extension of DefaultListableBeanFactory that reads bean definitions from an XML document

CORE

Reading XML Configuration File via XmlBeanFactory class

import org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.core.io.FileSystemResource;

public class XmlConfigWithBeanFactory {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        XmlBeanFactory factory = 
              new XmlBeanFactory(new FileSystemResource("beans.xml"));
       SomeBeanInterface b = (SomeBeanInterface) factory.getBean("nameOftheBean");
    }
}
			   

CORE

Bean Configuration File

• Each bean is defined usingtag under the root of the                                        tag
• The id attribute is used to give the bean its default name
• The class attribute specifies the type of the bean (class of the bean)

CORE

Spring Bean Definition

• Basic Bean Creation
• Basic Constructor Injection
• Basic Setter Injection
• Reference Injection

CORE

Basic Bean Creation

  HelloWorld hello = new mypackage.HelloWorld();
                

 <bean id="hello" class="mypackage.HelloWorld"></bean>
                

CORE

Basic Constructor Injection

HelloWorld hello = new mypackage.HelloWorld("Hello World");
                

 <bean id="hello" class="mypackage.HelloWorld">
    <constructor-arg value="Hello World"/>
 </bean>
                

CORE

Basic Setter Injection

   HelloWorld hello = new mypackage.HelloWorld();
              hello.setMessage("Hello World");
                

 <bean id="hello" class="mypackage.HelloWorld">
    <property name="message" value="Hello World"/>
 </bean>
                

CORE

Reference Injection

   HelloWorld hello = ...
   
   MessageService msgService = new mypackage.MessageService();
                  msgService.setMessageProvider(hello)
                

 <bean id="hello" class="mypackage.HelloWorld">
    .....
 </bean>
 
 <bean id="msgService" class="mypackage.MessageService">
    <property name="messageProvider" ref="hello"/>
 </bean>

Spring Bean Life Cycle

CORE

Initialization callbacks

    public class ExampleBean {
        public void init() {
            // do some initialization work
        }
    }
                

 <bean id="exampleBean" class="examples.ExampleBean" init-method="init"/>
                

CORE

Destruction callbacks

    public class ExampleBean {
        public void destroy() {
            // do some destruction work
        }
    }
			    

 <bean id="exampleBean" class="examples.ExampleBean" destroy-method="destroy"/>
				

CORE

Spring Beans Auto-Wiring

• Spring can autowire dependencies through introspection of the bean classes so that you do not have to explicitly specify the bean properties or constructor arguments.

CORE

Autowiring Properties

• autowire="name"
  • The property names of target bean (actually set<Property-name>() methods of the target bean) are used to search beans
• autowire="type"
  • The property types of target bean - actually argument types of set<Property-name>(ArgumentType arg) - are used to match a bean instance in the container

CORE

Autowiring Properties

• autowire="constructor"
  • Match constructor argument types
  • The argument types of Constructor(ArgumentType arg) - are used to match a bean instance in the container
• autowire="autodetect"
  • Spring will attempt to autowire by constructor first,If a suitable constructor-to-bean match cant't be found,then Spring will attempt to autowiring using "type"
