Introduction to Spring

• Introduction to spring
  
• Main concepts for Spring
  
• Motives behind spring
  
• Spring architecture

Spring IDE and eclipse

• Installing spring IDE in eclipse
  
• Creating the first spring project in eclipse

IOC or DI in Spring

1. Concept of IoC or DI
   What is IoC or DI in Spring
   Need for IOC or DI - Reducing coupling (with Example)
2. Different methods of DI
   
   • Setter injection
     
   • Constructor injection
     
   • Lookup method injection
     
   • Method injection

Spring approach for DI - Convention Over Configuration

1. 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
   
2. 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

Various Dependency injection methods

1.  IoC Container
   BeanFactory Interface
   ApplicationContext Interface
   
2.  Scopes in Spring
   Bean scopes in Spring
   Defining scope by annotation in spring
   
3.  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
   
4. 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
   
5. Namespaces in spring - Introduction
   Spring : Using the P namespace
   
6. Managing property filesTypes of Properties in javaManaging Property files with springSpring : Configuring properties file with PropertyPlaceholderConfigurerSpring : PropertyOverrideConfigurer
   
7. Other cases of DI (examples)
   Can an Innerclass be instantiated in Spring?
   Spring Map ExampleSpring List Property Example 
   
8.  Spring 3.0 EL support
   
9.  Lifecycle of beansSpring : BeanNameAware Interface
   
10. Initializing the bean or destroying bean by some init method or destroy method
