Spring 3 Simplest App

Creating a simple application in Spring 3 (I am using spring-framework-3.0.0.M3)

The artifacts are: 

• Spring configuration file
  
• Main Application
  
• Single POJO bean to be wired
  
• Library dependencies
  
• Maven project (not strictly needed, but may be useful if you use Maven)

Spring configuration file: simple.xml on classpath

<?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-2.5.xsd">

  <bean id="simplePersonPojo" class="com.jgk.spring3.simple.SimplePersonPojo">

  </bean>

</beans>

Main Application

package com.jgk.spring3.simple;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;

import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public class CheckSpringApp {

public static void main(String[] args) { 

ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] { "simple.xml",});

                SimplePersonPojo bean = (SimplePersonPojo) context.getBean("simplePersonPojo");

// ... do some things with the bean here ...

}

}

Single POJO bean to be wired

package com.jgk.spring3.simple;

public class SimplePersonPojo {

private String title;

private String address;

public String getTitle() {

return title;

}

public void setTitle(String title) {

this.title = title;

}

public String getAddress() {

return address;

}

public void setAddress(String address) {

this.address = address;

}

}

Library dependencies

• antlr-3.0.1
  
• commons-logging-1.1.1
  
• org.springframework.asm-3.0.0.M3
  
• org.springframework.beans-3.0.0.M3
  
• org.springframework.core-3.0.0.M3
  
• org.springframework.context-3.0.0.M3
  
• org.springframework.expression-3.0.0.M3
  

Needed to manually add the libraries to local Maven repository
