Let's start learning Spring Framework with actual programing instead lengthy theory.
App.java
Congratulations, you have created your first Spring Application successfully. Hope this helped to start with Spring Framework.
Program Definition
Write a simple Spring Application which will print
"Hello World!" or any other message based on the configuration done in
Spring Beans Configuration file.
Step-1 Create Maven Project in Eclipse IDE
Create Maven project in Eclipse IDE.
File > New > Maven Project > Create Simple Project
Provide following details:
Group Id: com.iamlearninghere
Artifact Id: helloworld
Project Name: helloWorld
Click Finish. Now project setup is done
Step-2 Add Spring Library in pom.xml
pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

This will automatically download all required jar from Maven Repository
Step-3 Do Actual Code For Program
Create HelloMessage.java and modify App.java as below:
HelloMessage.java
package com.iamlearninghere.helloworld;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean;
public class HelloMessage {
private String message;
public String getMessage() {
return message;
}
public void setMessage(String message) {
this.message = message;
}
}
import org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean;
public class HelloMessage {
private String message;
public String getMessage() {
return message;
}
public void setMessage(String message) {
this.message = message;
}
}
App.java
package com.iamlearninghere.helloworld;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
/**
* Hello world!
*
*/
public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext applicationContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml");
HelloMessage helloMessage = (HelloMessage)applicationContext.getBean("helloMessage");
System.out.println("This is message: " + helloMessage.getMessage());
}
}
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
/**
* Hello world!
*
*/
public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext applicationContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml");
HelloMessage helloMessage = (HelloMessage)applicationContext.getBean("helloMessage");
System.out.println("This is message: " + helloMessage.getMessage());
}
}
- Create Application Context using ClassPathXmlApplicationContaxt, This API load beans.xml configuration file from classpath. It will take care of creating, initializing and destroying beans.
Step-4 Create Bean Configuration File
Create beans.xml file under src folder to define beans(POJO).
beans.xml
<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-3.0.xsd">
<bean id="helloMessage" class="com.iamlearninghere.helloworld.HelloMessage">
<property name="message" value="Hello World!"/>
</bean>
</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-3.0.xsd">
<bean id="helloMessage" class="com.iamlearninghere.helloworld.HelloMessage">
<property name="message" value="Hello World!"/>
</bean>
</beans>
Step-5 Running Program
Run App.java using Ctrl_F11 and if everything is write, it will print following output
Output:
This is message: Hello World!
Congratulations, you have created your first Spring Application successfully. Hope this helped to start with Spring Framework.
