[Java Sprint] Spring Configuration Using Java

There is no applicationContext.xml file.

• Too much XML
• Namespaces helped
• Enter Java Configuration

Create main/java/com.pluralsight/AppConfig.java:

1. Setter Injection:

package com.pluralsight;

import com.pluralsight.repository.CustomerRepository;
import com.pluralsight.repository.HibernateCustomerRepositoryImpl;
import com.pluralsight.service.CustomerService;
import com.pluralsight.service.CustomerServiceImpl;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class AppConfig {

    @Bean(name = "customerService")
    public CustomerService getCustomerService() {
        CustomerServiceImpl service = new CustomerServiceImpl();

        // Setter Injection
        service.setCustomerRepository(getCustomerRepository());
        return service;
    }

    @Bean(name = "customerRepository")
    public CustomerRepository getCustomerRepository () {
        return new HibernateCustomerRepositoryImpl();
    }
}

Setter Injection for Service:

package com.pluralsight.service;

import com.pluralsight.model.Customer;
import com.pluralsight.repository.CustomerRepository;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import java.util.List;

@Service("customerService")
public class CustomerServiceImpl implements CustomerService {

    private CustomerRepository customerRepository;

    // Setter Injection
    public void setCustomerRepository(CustomerRepository customerRepository) {
        this.customerRepository = customerRepository;
    }

    @Override
    public List<Customer> findAll() {
        return customerRepository.findAll();
    }

}

2. Constructor Injection:

package com.pluralsight;

import com.pluralsight.repository.CustomerRepository;
import com.pluralsight.repository.HibernateCustomerRepositoryImpl;
import com.pluralsight.service.CustomerService;
import com.pluralsight.service.CustomerServiceImpl;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class AppConfig {

    @Bean(name = "customerService")
    public CustomerService getCustomerService() {
        CustomerServiceImpl service = new CustomerServiceImpl(getCustomerRepository());
        return service;
    }

    @Bean(name = "customerRepository")
    public CustomerRepository getCustomerRepository () {
        return new HibernateCustomerRepositoryImpl();
    }
}

package com.pluralsight.service;

import com.pluralsight.model.Customer;
import com.pluralsight.repository.CustomerRepository;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import java.util.List;

@Service("customerService")
public class CustomerServiceImpl implements CustomerService {

    private CustomerRepository customerRepository;

    // Constructor Injection
    public CustomerServiceImpl(CustomerRepository customerRepository) {
        this.customerRepository = customerRepository;
    }

    @Override
    public List<Customer> findAll() {
        return customerRepository.findAll();
    }

}

3. Autowired:

It would be good to add @Service and @Repository to each java files:

@Service("customerService")
public class CustomerServiceImpl implements CustomerService {

@Repository("customerRepository")
public class HibernateCustomerRepositoryImpl implements CustomerRepository {

Add @ComponentScan({"com.pluralsight"}) to the AppConfig.java:

package com.pluralsight;

import com.pluralsight.repository.CustomerRepository;
import com.pluralsight.repository.HibernateCustomerRepositoryImpl;
import com.pluralsight.service.CustomerService;
import com.pluralsight.service.CustomerServiceImpl;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
@ComponentScan({"com.pluralsight"})
public class AppConfig {
/*
    @Bean(name = "customerService")
    public CustomerService getCustomerService() {
        CustomerServiceImpl service = new
        return service;
    }

    @Bean(name = "customerRepository")
    public CustomerRepository getCustomerRepository () {
        return new HibernateCustomerRepositoryImpl();
    }*/
}

The prower of Autowired is that, we don't need to define any @Bean in AppConfig.
