In
my previous post, I explained how to inject arguments to a constructor. There
are cases, where a constructor takes other objects as arguments, By using ‘constructor-arg’
tag and ‘ref’ attribute you can specify the beans to inject as constructor
arguments.
<bean id="bookOfSecrets" class="com.sample.pojo.Book"> <constructor-arg name="author" ref="osho" /> <constructor-arg name="title" value="The Book Of Secrets" /> <constructor-arg name="noOfPages" value="1152" /> <constructor-arg name="price" value="452" /> </bean>
Bean
‘osho’ is referenced in the bean with id ‘bookOfSecrets’.
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 Author author; Book(Author author, String title, int noOfPages, float price) { this.author = author; this.title = title; this.noOfPages = noOfPages; this.price = price; } 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 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(", author=").append(author).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="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> <bean id="bookOfSecrets" class="com.sample.pojo.Book"> <constructor-arg name="author" ref="osho" /> <constructor-arg name="title" value="The Book Of Secrets" /> <constructor-arg name="noOfPages" value="1152" /> <constructor-arg name="price" value="452" /> </bean> </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 myBook = context.getBean("bookOfSecrets", Book.class); System.out.println(myBook); ((ClassPathXmlApplicationContext) context).close(); } }
Run
‘HelloWorld.java’, you can able to see following output.
Book [title=The Book Of Secrets, noOfPages=1152, price=452.0, author=Author [firstName=Chandra Mohan, lastName=Jain, dateOfBirth=11 December 1931, country=India]]
