Spring bean wiring (Dependency Injection)

In spring application, you have two ways for injecting beans. These are,
 1. Setter based injection.
 2. Constructor based injection.
You can able to use primitive type as well as reference type for injecting.

Example for setter based injection.

In this example I am going to inject the room object into home using setter method.

1.  Create a new Room bean like this.
     package com.setterinject;
     public class Room {
       private String roomName;
       public String getRoomName() {
            return roomName;
       }
       public void setRoomName(String roomName) {
            this.roomName = roomName;
       }
    }
2 .Create a new Home bean POJO class like this 
    package com.setterinject;
    public class Home {
      private String homeName;
      private Room room;
      public String getHomeName() {
            return homeName;
      }
      public void setHomeName(String homeName) {
            this.homeName = homeName;
      }
      public Room getRoom() {
            return room;
      }
      // Setter injection. The room object inject through setter method.
      public void setRoom(Room room) {
            this.room = room;
      }    
    }
Here I have used setter method for injecting room class into Home. See the beans.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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-3.1.xsd">

      <bean id="roomBean" class="com.setterinject.Room">
            <property name="roomName" value="Kitchen"></property>
      </bean>
      <bean id="homeBean" class="com.setterinject.Home">
            <property name="homeName" value="Home1"></property>
            <property name="room" ref="roomBean"></property>
      </bean>
</beans>

The property tag used for setter injection. 

3. Execute the this main method.

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.FileSystemXmlApplicationContext;
import com.constructorinject.Home;

public class ExecuteHome {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
            ApplicationContext context = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext("classpath:beans.xml");
            Home home1 = context.getBean("homeBean",Home.class);
            System.out.println("Home name: " + home1.getHomeName());
            System.out.println("Room name: " + home1.getRoom().getRoomName());
      }
}  

You will get result like this.
 Home name: Home1
 Room name: Kitchen


Example for constructor based injection.

In this example I am going to constructor the room object into home using setter method. 

1. Modify the Home bean class like this

    public class Home {
      private String homeName;
      private Room room;
      //Constructor injection.
      public Home(Room room) {
            this.room = room;
      }
      public String getHomeName() {
            return homeName;
      }
      public void setHomeName(String homeName) {
            this.homeName = homeName;
      }
      public Room getRoom() {
            return room;
      }
   }
Here I have used constructor for injecting room class into Home. See the beans.xml file. 

2. Modify the bean.xml file like this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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-3.1.xsd">

      <bean id="roomBean" class="com.constructorinject.Room">
            <property name="roomName" value="Kitchen"></property>
      </bean>
      <bean id="homeBean" class="com.constructorinject.Home">
            <constructor-arg index="0" ref="roomBean"></constructor-arg>
            <property name="homeName" value="Home1"></property>
      </bean>
</beans> 

The constructor tag used for constructor injection. The index refer the constructor parameter index, it's start with 0.

3. Execute the main method, I mentioned earlier you will get the same result.

Simple Login Application Using Spring MVC and Hibernate – Part 1

 I hope developers working in web application development might hear about MVC architecture. Almost all technologies provide support for MVC based web application development, but the success is based on many factors like reusable of the code, maintenance of the code, future adaption of the code, etc..,  The success of the Spring MVC is “ Open for extension and closed for modification ” principle. Using Spring MVC the developers can easily develop MVC based web application. We don’t need any steep learning curve at the same time we need to know the basics of spring framework and MVC architecture. The Spring MVC consists of following important components. 1. Dispatcher servlet 2. Controller 3. View Resolver 4. Model Spring MVC - Overview  The overall architecture of Spring MVC is shown here.  1. When “Dispatcher Servlet” gets any request from client, it finds the corresponding mapped controller for the request and just dispatches the request to the corresponding contro

Getting key/value pair from JSON object and getting variable name and value from JavaScript object.

 Hi, I had faced one issue like this. I have an JSON object but I don't know any key name but I need to get the all the key and corresponding value from JSON object using client side JavaScript. Suddenly I wondered whether it's possible or not, after that I had done lot of workaround and finally got this solution. See the below example.    function getKeyValueFromJSON() {     var jsonObj =  {a:10,b:20,c:30,d:50} ;     for ( var key in jsonObj) {       alert( "Key: " + key + " value: " + jsonObj[key]);     }  }  In this example I have created the one json array as string, and converted this string into JSON object using eval() function. Using for-each loop I got all the key value from jsonObj, and finally using that key I got the corresponding value.  Finally I got the alert like this,    Key: a value:10    Key: b value:20    Key: c value:30    Key: d value:50  During this workaround I got one more idea, using this same way I got
