Working with Spring 3.

Dear All,
Staring with Spring 3, The Spring API needs to included in the project, please download Spring 3 Framework libraries and add to the referenced libraries of project.

Create JAVA project with following structure,

    

In Spring, spring configuration file acts as a controller of the application,
here we created the "Spring3HelloWorld.xml" as a spring controller, which include the bean tag followed by root tag which might be contains multiple bean references, for example now we are including only tow beans as a refernce,
Here the same bean id associated with the bean class.

Spring3HelloWorld.xml
 
Now we created two beans,
Spring3HelloWorld.java
package spring.com;

public class Spring3HelloWorld {
   
    public void sayHello(){
        System.out.println("Hello Spring 3.0");
    }
}

and

Spring3GoingToHell.java
package spring.com;

public class Spring3GoingToHell {
    public void sayHello1(){
        System.out.println("Going To Hell");
    }
}

Now we have the Main class calling the beans through spring framework using application context,

Spring3HelloWorldTest.java
package spring.com;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.GenericApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.GenericXmlApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;

public class Spring3HelloWorldTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //way 1
        XmlBeanFactory beanFactory = new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource("Spring3HelloWorld.xml"));

        //way 2
        ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("Spring3HelloWorld.xml");

        //way 3
        ApplicationContext context1 = new GenericXmlApplicationContext("Spring3HelloWorld.xml");
       
       
       
        Spring3HelloWorld myBean0 = (Spring3HelloWorld)beanFactory.getBean("Spring3HelloWorldBean");
        myBean0.sayHello();
       
        Spring3GoingToHell myBean1 = (Spring3GoingToHell) context.getBean("Spring3GoingToHellBean");
        myBean1.sayHello1();
       
        Spring3HelloWorld myBean2 = (Spring3HelloWorld) context1.getBean("Spring3HelloWorldBean");
        myBean2.sayHello();
  
    }
}     

Here are three ways to get a bean object from the Spring configuration xml file, Just get the object of bean from application context and then invoke the bean related operations.
