U5 03 Spring IoC Concepts

Inversion of Control (IoC) is a core principle in Spring that shifts the responsibility of object creation from the application to the Spring container, allowing for automatic dependency management. The Spring IoC container, such as ApplicationContext and BeanFactory, manages object creation and wiring through annotations or configuration. Benefits of IoC include loose coupling, reusability, easier testing, centralized configuration, and improved manageability.

Spring Inversion of Control (IoC)

• IoC is the core principle in Spring.


• It reverses the control of object creation from
the application to the Spring container.
What is IoC?
• Traditional: You create objects manually using
'new'.
• Spring IoC: The container creates and
manages objects for you.
Analogy: Restaurant
• Without IoC: You cook your food.
• With IoC: You order and the chef prepares it
for you.
• Spring acts like the chef, managing your
dependencies.
IoC in Spring: The Container
• - Manages object creation and wiring
• - Examples: ApplicationContext, BeanFactory
• - Injects dependencies automatically
How IoC Works in Spring
• 1. Define classes as beans
• 2. Configure via annotations/XML/Java config
• 3. Spring registers and instantiates beans
• 4. Spring injects required dependencies
Key IoC Components
• - ApplicationContext: Main IoC container
• - @Component: Declares a Spring bean
• - @Autowired: Injects dependencies
• - @Configuration & @Bean: Java-based config
Example
• @Component
• public class Engine {}

• @Component
• public class Car {
• @Autowired
• private Engine engine;
• }
Benefits of IoC
• - Loose coupling
• - Reusability
• - Easier testing
• - Centralized configuration
• - Better manageability
