It
is very useful, if you define beans across multiple files. For example, you can
define all service layer beans in one file, all dao layer beans in one file,
all controller layer beans in one file etc., You can import all these bean
definition files into main configuration file using ‘import’ tag.
Ex:
<beans> <import resource="dao.xml"/> <import resource="resources/service.xml"/> <import resource="/resources/controller.xml"/> <bean id="bean1" class="..."/> <bean id="bean2" class="..."/> </beans>
Following
is the complete working application.
Author.java
package com.sample.pojo; public class Author { private String firstName; private String lastName; private String dateOfBirth; private String country; 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 String getDateOfBirth() { return dateOfBirth; } public void setDateOfBirth(String dateOfBirth) { this.dateOfBirth = dateOfBirth; } public String getCountry() { return country; } public void setCountry(String country) { this.country = country; } @Override public String toString() { StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(); builder.append("Author [firstName=").append(firstName).append(", lastName=").append(lastName) .append(", dateOfBirth=").append(dateOfBirth).append(", country=").append(country).append("]"); return builder.toString(); } }
Book.java
package com.sample.pojo; public class Book { private String title; private int noOfPages; private float price; private String isbn; private Author author; public String getTitle() { return title; } public void setTitle(String title) { this.title = title; } public int getNoOfPages() { return noOfPages; } public void setNoOfPages(int noOfPages) { this.noOfPages = noOfPages; } public float getPrice() { return price; } public void setPrice(float price) { this.price = price; } public String getIsbn() { return isbn; } public void setIsbn(String isbn) { this.isbn = isbn; } public Author getAuthor() { return author; } public void setAuthor(Author author) { this.author = author; } @Override public String toString() { StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(); builder.append("Book [title=").append(title).append(", noOfPages=").append(noOfPages).append(", price=") .append(price).append(", isbn=").append(isbn).append(", author=").append(author).append("]"); return builder.toString(); } }
books.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.xsd"> <bean id="book1" class="com.sample.pojo.Book"> <property name="title" value="Vedanta An Art of Dying" /> <property name="noOfPages" value="164" /> <property name="price" value="90" /> <property name="isbn" value="8184192045" /> <property name="author" ref="osho" /> </bean> </beans>
authors.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.xsd"> <bean id="osho" class="com.sample.pojo.Author"> <property name="firstName" value="Chandra Mohan" /> <property name="lastName" value="Jain" /> <property name="dateOfBirth" value="11 December 1931" /> <property name="country" value="India" /> </bean> </beans>
myConfiguration.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.xsd"> <import resource="authors.xml" /> <import resource="books.xml" /> </beans>
HelloWorld.java
package com.sample.test; import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext; import com.sample.pojo.Book; public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String args[]) { ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] { "myConfiguration.xml" }); Book book = context.getBean(Book.class); System.out.println(book); ((ClassPathXmlApplicationContext) context).close(); } }
Run
HelloWorld.java, you can able to see following output in the console.
Book [title=Vedanta An Art of Dying, noOfPages=164, price=90.0, isbn=8184192045, author=Author [firstName=Chandra Mohan, lastName=Jain, dateOfBirth=11 December 1931, country=India]]
Note
You
can always use fully qualified resource locations instead of relative paths:
for example, "file:C:/config/services.xml" or
"classpath:/config/services.xml".
