  1. Introduction to Spring Matt Wheeler

  2. Notes • This is a training NOT a presentation • Please ask questions • Prerequisites • Introduction to Java Stack • Basic Java and XML skills

  3. Overview Learn the basics of the Spring Framework • Become familiar with Spring documentation • http://www.springsource.org/documentation • Learn basics of the Spring architecture • Learn about bean creation • Learn about bean scopes • Learn about the application context • Inversion of Control (IoC) • Dependency Injection (DI)

  4. Goals of the Spring Framework • Simplify Java EE development • Solve problems not addressed by Java EE • Provide simple integration for best of breed technologies • Provide modular/pluggable architecture • Use what you want – don’t use what you don’t • http://www.springsource.org/about

  5. Explore the Spring Ecosystem • Main Page: http://www.springsource.org/ • Documentation: http://www.springsource.org/documentation • Forum: http://forum.springsource.org/ • Jira: https://jira.springsource.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa

  6. Spring Framework Modified from http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.1.0.M1/spring-framework-reference/html/images/spring-overview.png

  7. Data Access Integration • Data Access Integration layer includes: • JDBC (abstraction layer over native JDBC) • ORM (integration support for JPA, Hibernate, …) • Transaction support (declarative and programmatic)

  8. Web • Basic web integration features • File upload • Initialization of IoC container using servlet listeners • Contains Spring’s model view controller (MVC) implementation

  9. Test • Test module provides integration with test frameworks • JUnit • TestNG • Provides ability to load test specific ApplicationContexts • Also provides helpful mock objects

  10. Core Container • Core and Beans modules provide framework fundamentals • Inversion of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection (DI) • BeanFactory provides factory pattern implementation for creating Java objects • Allows decoupling of configuration and dependencies from actual code

  11. Application Context configuration file • Objects managed by the Spring IoC container are called beans • Objects must be defined to be managed by the Spring (IoC) container • Defined in xml (applicationContext.xml in the Stack) • Defined using annotations • Definition contains “configuration metadata” • Template for creating beans and their dependencies

  12. Loading the Application Context • org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext interface represents the Spring IoC container • Responsible for instantiating and assembling beans • Template for doing so is in the defined configuration metadata (xml, annotations, or Java code) • The application context can be loaded as follows: ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml"); SomeBeansomeBean = (SomeBean) context.getBean("someBean"); someBean.callMethod();

  13. Defining Beans • When defined in xml the Spring configuration file looks like the following: <!– Bean configuration 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-3.0.xsd"> <!-- bean definitions go here --> </beans>

  14. Defining beans • Each bean should have • Unique id • Fully qualified package and name of the object <?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-3.0.xsd"> <bean id="someBean" class="org.lds.training.SomeBean"> <!-- more bean definitions go here --> </beans> </beans>

  15. Lab 1: Bean Creation https://tech.lds.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Spring#Lab_1_Bean_Configuration

  16. Bean Scopes • Where Spring starts to pay dividends • Sometimes you want to be able to control the life of a bean • Bean scopes provide this ability • By default all beans are singletons

  17. Available Bean Scopes

  18. Singleton Scope • Remember these days • The new world public static synchronized MySingletongetInstance() { public static MySingletongetInstance() { if (instance == null) { instance = new MySingleton();   }   return instance; } <!– singleton is the default so these two definitions are equivalent --> <bean id="whatever" class="org.lds.whatever.MyBean" /> <bean id="whatever" class="org.lds.whatever.MyBean" scope="singleton" />

  19. Prototype Scope • Equivalent to calling new every time a an instance of a class is needed • Spring does not manage he lifecycle of prototype bean • The configuration is as follows: <bean id="whatever" class="org.lds.whatever.MyBean" scope="prototype" />

  20. Web application scopes • Without Spring you would have to manage bean creation and lifecycles manually <bean id=“whatever” class=“org.lds.whatever.MyBean” scope=“request” /> <bean id=“whatever” class=“org.lds.whatever.MyBean” scope=“session” />

  21. Lab 2: Bean Scopes https://tech.lds.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Spring#Lab_2_Bean_Scopes

  22. Inversion of Control (IoC) the Concept • Objects define dependencies by: • Constructor arguments • Setter arguments • Arguments to factory method • Container injects dependencies when the bean is created • Inverse of bean controlling instantiation and/or location of its dependencies

  23. Inversion of Control (IoC) the Concept • Managing dependencies on other beans • Dependency lookup vs. Dependency Injection //dependency lookup public class Lookup { private SomeBeansomeBean; public SomeBeanfindBean(Container container) { return (SomeBean) container.getBean(“someBean”); } } //dependency injection public class Injection { private SomeBeansomeBean; public void setSomeBean(SomeBeansomeBean) { this.someBean = someBean; } }

  24. Advantages of Inversion of Control (IoC) • Simplifies component dependency and lifecycle management • Eliminates need for: • Calling new or looking up dependencies • Decouples code from IoC container • Injection is easier – less code – easier to maintain • Minimizes need for creational pattern implementation • Simplifies testing

  25. Inversion of Control (IoC) • Heart of Spring Framework is the IoC container • Two basic implementations of the IoC container • ApplicationContext • BeanFactory • BeanFactory is stripped down version of ApplicationContext • We will exclusively focus on ApplicationContext

  26. Dependency Injection (DI) • Two basic types of injection • Setter injection • Constructor injection

  27. DI (setter injection) • Say we have to following Rabbit class • Example public class Rabbit { private String favoriteFood; public void setFavoriteFood(String favoriteFood) { this.favoriteFood = favoriteFood; } public void printFavoriteFood() { System.out.println(favoriteFood); } } <bean id="rabbit" class="org.lds.farm.Rabbit"> <property name="favoriteFood" value="lettucev /> </bean>

  28. DI (constructor injection) • Say we have to following Rabbit class • Example public class Rabbit { private String favoriteFood; public Rabbit(String favoriteFood) { this.favoriteFood = favoriteFood; } public void printFavoriteFood() { System.out.println(favoriteFood); } } <bean id="rabbit" class="org.lds.farm.Rabbit"> <constructor-arg value="lettuce" /> </bean>

  29. DI (continued) • Ability to inject many data types • Lists, Sets, Properties, Maps (most collection types) • Other beans • Lets us look at a few examples: • http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/beans.html#beans-collection-elements

  30. DI Collections • Say our rabbit has many favorite foods public class Rabbit { private Set<String> favoriteFoods; public void setFavoriteFoods(List<String> favoriteFoods) { this.favoriteFoods = favoriteFoods; } public void printFavoriteFood() { for (String favoriteFoods : favoriteFood) { System.out.println(favoriteFood); } } } <bean id="rabbit" class="org.lds.farm.Rabbit"> <property name="favoriteFoods"> <set> <value>lettuce</value> <value>carrot</value> </set> </property> </bean>

  31. DI Bean References • Lets expand our rabbit concept to an entire farm • And then modify our rabbit class as follows public class Farm { private List<Rabbit> rabbits; public void setRabbits(List<Rabbit> rabbits) { this.rabbits = rabbits; } } public class Rabbit { private String name; public Rabbit(String name) { this.name = name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } //… }

  32. Bean Reference Examples <bean id="rabbit" class="org.lds.model.Rabbit"> <property name="name" value="Bubba" /> </bean> <bean id="farm" class="org.lds.model.Farm"> <property name="rabbits"> <list> <ref bean="rabbit" /> <!– anonymous inner bean --> <bean class="org.lds.model.Rabbit"> <property name="name" value="Snowshoe" /> </bean> </list> </property> </bean>

  33. Another public class Farm { private Rabbit prizeRabbit; public void setPrizeRabbit(Rabbit prizeRabbit) { this.prizeRabbit = prizeRabbit; } } <bean id="prize" class="org.lds.model.Rabbit"> <property name="name" value="Queen Bee" /> </bean> <bean id="farm" class="org.lds.model.Farm"> <property name="prizeRabbit" ref="prize" /> </bean>
