assembling the

beans. The Spring

IOC container gets

its instructions on

what objects to

instantiate,

configure, and

assemble by

reading

configuration

metadata. The

configuration

metadata is

represented in

XML, Java

annotations, or

Java code. It lets

you express the

objects that

compose your

application and the

rich

interdependencies

between those

objects.

There are two types

of IoC containers.

They are:

1. BeanFactory
2. ApplicationCo
ntext

Beanfactory:

The BeanFactory

interface from

org.springframewor

k.beans.factory

package

provides an

advanced

configuration

mechanism

capable of

managing any type

of object. The

BeanFactory

provides the spring

configuration

framework and

functionality.

Creating Spring

IOC container

using

BeanFactory

The

XmlBeanFactory is
the implementation
class for the
BeanFactory
interface. To use

the BeanFactory,
we need to create
the instance of
XmlBeanFactory
class as given

below:

Resource res = new

XmlBeanFactory fac

or

ClassPathResource

XmlBeanFactory fac

The constructor of

XmlBeanFactory
class receives the
Resource object so
we need to pass
the resource object

to create the object

of BeanFactory.

The

is one of the

implementation

interface. We need

to instantiate the
