By
using ‘idref’ tag, you can validate at deployment time that the referenced,
named bean actually exists or not.
For Example,
<bean id="osho" class="com.sample.pojo.Author"> <property name="firstName" value="Osho" /> <property name="lastName" value="Jain" /> <property name="dateOfBirth" value="11 December 1931" /> <property name="country" value="India" /> </bean> <bean id="paulo" class="com.sample.pojo.Author"> <property name="firstName" value="Paulo" /> <property name="lastName" value="Coelho" /> <property name="dateOfBirth" value="24 August 1947" /> <property name="country" value="India" /> </bean>
If
you define your validator bean like below, Spring validates the beans with ids
osho and Paulo at deployment time. If any bean not found in the configuration
file, then spring throws BeanDefinitionStoreException.
<bean id="validatorBean" class="com.sample.test.BeansValidator"> <property name="author1"> <idref bean="osho" /> </property> <property name="author2"> <idref bean="paulo" /> </property> </bean>
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(); } }
BeansValidator.java
package com.sample.test; public class BeansValidator { private String author1; private String author2; public String getAuthor1() { return author1; } public void setAuthor1(String author1) { this.author1 = author1; } public String getAuthor2() { return author2; } public void setAuthor2(String author2) { this.author2 = author2; } }
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="osho" class="com.sample.pojo.Author"> <property name="firstName" value="Osho" /> <property name="lastName" value="Jain" /> <property name="dateOfBirth" value="11 December 1931" /> <property name="country" value="India" /> </bean> <bean id="paulo" class="com.sample.pojo.Author"> <property name="firstName" value="Paulo" /> <property name="lastName" value="Coelho" /> <property name="dateOfBirth" value="24 August 1947" /> <property name="country" value="India" /> </bean> <bean id="validatorBean" class="com.sample.test.BeansValidator"> <property name="author1"> <idref bean="osho" /> </property> <property name="author2"> <idref bean="paulo" /> </property> </bean> </beans>
HelloWorld.java
package com.sample.test; import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext; public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String args[]) { ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] { "myConfiguration.xml" }); ((ClassPathXmlApplicationContext) context).close(); } }
Run
HelloWorld.java, you don’t get any exceptions.
Now
update myConfiguration.xml like below.
<?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="Osho" /> <property name="lastName" value="Jain" /> <property name="dateOfBirth" value="11 December 1931" /> <property name="country" value="India" /> </bean> <bean id="paulo" class="com.sample.pojo.Author"> <property name="firstName" value="Paulo" /> <property name="lastName" value="Coelho" /> <property name="dateOfBirth" value="24 August 1947" /> <property name="country" value="India" /> </bean> <bean id="validatorBean" class="com.sample.test.BeansValidator"> <property name="author1"> <idref bean="Krishna" /> </property> <property name="author2"> <idref bean="paulo" /> </property> </bean> </beans>
As
you see the configuration file, validatorBean check for the bean with id
‘Krishna’.
<bean id="validatorBean" class="com.sample.test.BeansValidator"> <property name="author1"> <idref bean="Krishna" /> </property> <property name="author2"> <idref bean="paulo" /> </property> </bean>
Since
the bean with id ‘Krishna’ don’t exists, you will end up in following error.
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'validatorBean' defined in class path resource [myConfiguration.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Invalid bean name 'Krishna' in bean reference for bean property 'author1' at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.doCreateBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:553) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.createBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:482) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory$1.getObject(AbstractBeanFactory.java:306) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry.getSingleton(DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry.java:230) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.doGetBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:302) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:197) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory.preInstantiateSingletons(DefaultListableBeanFactory.java:751) at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.finishBeanFactoryInitialization(AbstractApplicationContext.java:861) at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.refresh(AbstractApplicationContext.java:541) at org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext.<init>(ClassPathXmlApplicationContext.java:139) at org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext.<init>(ClassPathXmlApplicationContext.java:93) at com.sample.test.HelloWorld.main(HelloWorld.java:8)
