Spring : Factory methods with parameters

There are 2 ways of passing parameters to the factory-methods

• by xml
• by code

By Xml

Consider this bean:

public class TestObject{  
   
  private String id;  
   
  private TestObject(String id){  
      super();  
      this.id = id;  
  }  
   
  public static TestObject getInstance(String id){  
      return new TestObject(i)  
  }  
 }  

Now in the config file just use constructor-arg for this:

<bean id="testObject" class="TestObject" factory-method="getInstance">
 <constructor-arg type="java.lang.String" value="object-id-123"/>
</bean>

By Code

In the context creating file write this :

ApplicationContext container = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/some path/config.xml");
TestObject obj = (TestObject) containter.getBean("testObject","myParameter");
