Spring IoC容器的实例化非常简单,如下面的例子:
Resource resource = new FileSystemResource("beans.xml");
BeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(resource);
ClassPathResource resource = new ClassPathResource("beans.xml");
BeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(resource);
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
new String[] {"applicationContext.xml", "applicationContext-part2.xml"});
// of course, an ApplicationContext is just a BeanFactory
BeanFactory factory = (BeanFactory) context;
在容器内部,这些bean定义由BeanDefinition 对象来表示,该定义将包含以下信息:
从本质上讲,BeanFactory仅仅只是一个维护bean定义以及相互依赖关系的高级工厂接口。通过BeanFactory我们可以访问bean定义。下面的例子创建了一个bean工厂,此工厂将从xml文件中读取bean定义:
InputStream is = new FileInputStream("beans.xml");
BeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(is);
在<constructor-arg/>或<property/>元素内部还可以使用ref元素。
<ref bean="someBean"/>
<ref local="someBean"/>
<!-- in the child (descendant) context -->
<bean id="accountService" <-- notice that the name of this bean is the same as the name of the 'parent' bean
class="org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactoryBean">
<property name="target">
<ref parent="accountService"/> <-- notice how we refer to the parent bean
</property>
<!-- insert other configuration and dependencies as required as here -->
</bean>
通过<list/>、<set/>、<map/>及<props/>元素可以定义和设置与Java Collection类型对应List、Set、Map及Properties的值。
<bean id="moreComplexObject" class="example.ComplexObject">
<!-- results in a setAdminEmails(java.util.Properties) call -->
<property name="adminEmails">
<props>
<prop key="administrator">administrator@somecompany.org</prop>
<prop key="support">support@somecompany.org</prop>
<prop key="development">development@somecompany.org</prop>
</props>
</property>
<!-- results in a setSomeList(java.util.List) call -->
<property name="someList">
<list>
<value>a list element followed by a reference</value>
<ref bean="myDataSource" />
</list>
</property>
<!-- results in a setSomeMap(java.util.Map) call -->
<property name="someMap">
<map>
<entry>
<key>
<value>yup an entry</value>
</key>
<value>just some string</value>
</entry>
<entry>
<key>
<value>yup a ref</value>
</key>
<ref bean="myDataSource" />
</entry>
</map>
</property>
<!-- results in a setSomeSet(java.util.Set) call -->
<property name="someSet">
<set>
<value>just some string</value>
<ref bean="myDataSource" />
</set>
</property>
</bean>
注意:map的key或value值,或set的value值不能是以下元素:
bean | ref | idref | list | set | map | props | value | null
这等同于Java代码: exampleBean.setEmail("")。而null值则可以使用<null>元素可用来表示。例如:
<bean class="ExampleBean">
<property name="email"><null/></property>
</bean>
在XML配置文件中,延迟初始化将通过<bean/>元素中的lazy-init属性来进行控制。例如:
在容器层次中通过在<beans/>元素上使用'default-lazy-init'属性来控制延迟初始化也是可能的
