BE THE CODER > Spring > Core Examples

Spring Inversion of Control (IoC) also known as Dependency Injection (DI) is a process by which objects define their dependencies with collaborating objects. The following example shows a lazy initialized bean. The first bean (lazy1) being singleton is initialized during ApplicationContext initialization. Though the second bean (lazy2) is singleton it is not initialized as part of ApplicationContext initialization because its lazy-init attribute is set to true.
