Creating spring application in Eclipse IDE

Here, we are going to create a simple application of spring


framework using eclipse IDE. Let's see the simple steps to create
the spring application in Eclipse IDE.
•create the java project
•add spring jar files
•create the class
•create the xml file to provide the values
•create the test class
1) Create the Java Project
Go to File menu - New - project - Java Project. Write the
project name e.g. firstspring - Finish. Now the java project is
created.
2) Add spring jar files
There are mainly three jar files required to run this application.

•org.springframework.core-3.0.1.RELEASE-A
•com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging-1.1.1
•org.springframework.beans-3.0.1.RELEASE-A
To run this example, you need to load only spring core jar files.
To load the jar files in eclipse IDE, Right click on your project -
Build Path - Add external archives - select all the required jar
files - finish..
3) Create Java class
In such case, we are simply creating the Student class have name
property. The name of the student will be provided by the xml file. It is
just a simple example not the actual use of spring. We will see the
actual use in Dependency Injection chapter. To create the java
class, Right click on src - New - class - Write the class name e.g.
Student - finish. Write the following code:
package com.javatpoint;

public class Student {


private String name;

public String getName() {


return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {


this.name = name;
}

public void displayInfo(){


System.out.println("Hello: "+name);
}
}
This is simple bean class, containing only one property name
with its getters and setters method. This class contains one
extra method named displayInfo() that prints the student name
by the hello message.
4) Create the xml file
To create the xml file click on src - new - file
- give the file name such as
applicationContext.xml - finish. Open the
applicationContext.xml file, and write the
following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans
xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schem
a/beans

http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-
3.0.xsd">

<bean id="studentbean" class="com.javatpoint.Student">


<property name="name" value="Vimal Jaiswal"></property>
</bean>

</beans>
The bean element is used to define the bean for the given class.
The property subelement of bean specifies the property of the
Student class named name. The value specified in the property
element will be set in the Student class object by the IOC container.
5) Create the test class
Create the java class e.g. Test. Here we are getting the object of
Student class from the IOC container using the getBean() method of
BeanFactory. Let's see the code of test class.
package com.javatpoint;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory;
import
org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;
import org.springframework.core.io.Resource;

public class Test {


public static void main(String[] args) {
Resource resource=new
ClassPathResource("applicationContext.xml");
BeanFactory factory=new XmlBeanFactory(resource);

Student student=(Student)factory.getBean("studentbean");
student.displayInfo();
}
}
