IOC or DI in Spring

1. Concept of IoC or DI
   IoC or DI
   Need for IOC or DI : Tight coupling in application.
   -----Tight coupling the application (without spring)
   -----Spring example of IOC : Reducing coupling
   Different methods of DI
2. XML approach of DI
   Creating a bean descriptor XML file in spring
   Dependency injection via property or setter
   Spring constructor injection tutorial
   Defining contexts in different file
3. Spring IDE and eclipse
4. Annotation approach for DI
   In this approach we place @Resource on the property or setters of the class. Little cleaner than xml file, because managing long xml files is not easy for humans.
   Annotation approach for DI
   Annotation approach for constructor injection
   
   Autowiring in Spring
   Autowiring in xml config
5. IoC Container
   BeanFactory Interface
   ApplicationContext Interface
6. Scopes in Spring
   Bean scopes in Spring
   Defining scope by annotation in spring
7. Other cases of DI
   a) Spring : Inheritance between beans
   b) Factory methods helps us to write classes with factory design pattern.
   ---Spring : factory-method
   ---Spring : Factory methods with parameters
   ---Spring : Creating custom factory-bean
   c) Lookup method injection
   ---Spring : Lookup Method injection
8. Lazy initialization of beans
   Earlier we discussed lookup method injection. Now we can discuss about lazy initialization, and alternative approach to lookup method injection.
   Spring : ApplicationContextAware Interface
   Spring : ObjectFactory Interface
   Spring : ServiceLocatorFactoryBean Interface
9. Namespaces in spring - Introduction
   Spring : Using the P namespace
10. Managing property files
    Types of Properties in java
    Managing Property files with spring
    Spring : Configuring properties file with PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer
    Spring : PropertyOverrideConfigurer
    
11. Other cases of DI (examples)
    Can an Innerclass be instantiated in Spring?
    Spring Map ExampleSpring List Property Example
    
12. Spring 3.0 EL support
    
13. Lifecycle of beans
    Spring : BeanNameAware Interface
    Spring : init-method and destroy-method
    Spring : BeanPostProcessor interface 
    Spring : BeanFactroyPostProcessor interface
    Spring : Lifecycle interface
    Spring : DisposableBean Interface and Initializing...
    @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy example 
    @Required annotation
    

 

AOP

Need for AOP
Introduction to AOP
Spring AOP vs AspectJ
AOP support in spring

• Proxy method
• Using weaving

Advices would have been explained in above mentioned points. So we can talk about them now.
