Spring life cycle call backs

Some times we need to perform some operatons while a bean is being created and destroyed. Spring frame work provides support for call back methods to perform these activities. 

We can achieve call back feature in two ways.
         1. By implementing interfaces InitializingBean, DisposableBean
         2. By configuring in xml

In this post, i am going to explain how to do call back functionality using interfaces.

Step 1 : Create new maven project “spring_tuorial”. Project structure looks like below.

Step 2 : Update “pom.xml” file for maven dependencies.

pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> 
 <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> 
 <groupId>spring_tutorial</groupId> 
 <artifactId>spring_tutorial</artifactId> 
 <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> 
 <packaging>war</packaging> 
 <name>spring_tutorial</name> 
 <description>spring_tutorial</description> 
 <properties> 
  <org.springframework-version>4.1.5.RELEASE</org.springframework-version> 
 </properties> 

 <dependencies> 
  <dependency> 
   <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> 
   <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId> 
   <version>${org.springframework-version}</version> 
  </dependency> 

 </dependencies> 
</project>

Step 3: Create new package “com.springtutorial.model” under “src/main/java”.

Step 4: Create “Address” class under the package “com.springtutorial.model”.
package com.springtutorial.model; 

import org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean; 
import org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean; 

public class Address implements InitializingBean, DisposableBean{ 
  private String street; 
  private String city; 
  private String state; 
  private String country; 
  private String pin; 

  public String getStreet() { 
    return street; 
  } 

  public void setStreet(String street) { 
    this.street = street; 
  } 

  public String getCity() { 
    return city; 
  } 

  public void setCity(String city) { 
    this.city = city; 
  } 

  public String getState() { 
    return state; 
  } 

  public void setState(String state) { 
    this.state = state; 
  } 

  public String getCountry() { 
    return country; 
  } 

  public void setCountry(String country) { 
    this.country = country; 
  } 

  public String getPin() { 
    return pin; 
  } 

  public void setPin(String pin) { 
    this.pin = pin; 
  } 

  @Override 
  public String toString() { 
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(); 
    builder.append("Address [street=").append(street).append(", city=").append(city) 
        .append(", state=").append(state).append(", country=").append(country).append(", pin=") 
        .append(pin).append("]"); 
    return builder.toString(); 
  } 
 
  public void destroy() throws Exception { 
    System.out.println("Destroying Bean");    
  } 

  public void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception { 
    System.out.println("Properties set for bean"); 
  } 

} 

afterPropertiesSet()
Invoked by a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied.

destroy()
Invoked by a BeanFactory on destruction of a singleton.


Step 5: Create “Employee” class under the package “com.springtutorial.model”.
package com.springtutorial.model; 

public class Employee { 
  private String firstName; 
  private String lastName; 
  private int id; 
  private Address address; 

  public String getFirstName() { 
    return firstName; 
  } 

  public void setFirstName(String firstName) { 
    this.firstName = firstName; 
  } 

  public String getLastName() { 
    return lastName; 
  } 

  public void setLastName(String lastName) { 
    this.lastName = lastName; 
  } 

  public int getId() { 
    return id; 
  } 

  public void setId(int id) { 
    this.id = id; 
  } 

  public Address getAddress() { 
    return address; 
  } 

  public void setAddress(Address address) { 
    this.address = address; 
  } 

  @Override 
  public String toString() { 
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(); 
    builder.append("Employee [firstName=").append(firstName).append(", lastName=").append(lastName) 
        .append(", id=").append(id).append(", address=").append(address).append("]"); 
    return builder.toString(); 
  } 

} 

Step 6: Create “spring.xml” file in “src/main/resources”.

spring.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" 
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd"> 
  
 <bean id="employee1" class="com.springtutorial.model.Employee"> 
  <property name="firstName" value="Hari Krishna" /> 
  <property name="lastName" value="Gurram" /> 
  <property name="id" value="553" /> 
  <property name="address" ref="address"/> 
 </bean> 

 <bean id="address" class="com.springtutorial.model.Address"> 
  <property name="street" value="Chowdeswari temple" /> 
  <property name="city" value="Bangalore" /> 
  <property name="state" value="Karnataka" /> 
  <property name="country" value="India" /> 
  <property name="pin" value="560037" /> 
 </bean> 

</beans>

"spring.xml" is used to assign unique IDs to different beans, to control the creation of objects with different values. You have to make sure that “spring.xml” file is available in CLASSPATH and use the same name in main application while creating application context as shown in Main.java file.

Step 7 : Create package “com.springtutorial.main” under “src/main/java”.

Step 8 : Create Main class under package “com.springtutorial.main”.
package com.springtutorial.main; 
 
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; 
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext; 

import com.springtutorial.model.Employee; 

public class Main { 
  public static void main(String args[]) { 
    ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring.xml"); 

    Employee emp1 = (Employee) context.getBean("employee1"); 

    System.out.println(emp1); 
    
    ((ClassPathXmlApplicationContext) context).close(); 
  } 
} 


Step 9 : Run Main.java,you will get output like below.
Mar 25, 2015 10:47:55 PM org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext prepareRefresh 
INFO: Refreshing org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext@1873a6: startup date [Wed Mar 25 22:47:55 IST 2015]; root of context hierarchy 
Mar 25, 2015 10:47:55 PM org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader loadBeanDefinitions 
INFO: Loading XML bean definitions from class path resource [spring.xml] 
Properties set for bean 
Employee [firstName=Hari Krishna, lastName=Gurram, id=553, address=Address [street=Chowdeswari temple, city=Bangalore, state=Karnataka, country=India, pin=560037]] 
Mar 25, 2015 10:47:55 PM org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext doClose 
INFO: Closing org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext@1873a6: startup date [Wed Mar 25 22:47:55 IST 2015]; root of context hierarchy 
Destroying Bean

Final project structure looks like below.
