In
my previous post, I explained how to access bean with multiple names. There is
also another way, by using aliases, you can refer a bean using other name.
Syntax
<alias
name="fromName" alias="toName"/>
Bean
with name fromName can be referred by using the alias name toName.
Example
<bean id="author1" name="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> <alias name="Osho" alias="Rajneesh" /> <alias name="Osho" alias="Chandra Mohan Jain" />
You
can refer the bean named “Osho” with ‘Ranjneesh” (or) “Chandra Mohan Jain”.
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(); } }
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"> <bean id="author1" name="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> <alias name="Osho" alias="Rajneesh" /> <alias name="Osho" alias="Chandra Mohan Jain" /> </beans>
HelloWorld.java
package com.sample.test; import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext; import com.sample.pojo.Author; public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String args[]) { ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] { "myConfiguration.xml" }); Author author1 = context.getBean("Rajneesh", Author.class); Author author2 = context.getBean("Osho", Author.class); Author author3 = context.getBean("Chandra Mohan Jain", Author.class); System.out.println(author1); System.out.println(author2); System.out.println(author3); ((ClassPathXmlApplicationContext) context).close(); } }
Run
HelloWorld.java, you can able to see following output.
Author [firstName=Chandra Mohan, lastName=Jain, dateOfBirth=11 December 1931, country=India] Author [firstName=Chandra Mohan, lastName=Jain, dateOfBirth=11 December 1931, country=India] Author [firstName=Chandra Mohan, lastName=Jain, dateOfBirth=11 December 1931, country=India]
