 Spring > Core > P Name Space Reference

P Name Space Reference 

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 using P Name space reference which allows us to use the bean element's attributes, instead of nested property elements.

import org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;

import com.bethecoder.tutorials.spring3.basic.Department;

public class ReferenceTests {

  /**
   * @param args
   */
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    XmlBeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(
                new ClassPathResource("pns_reference.xml"));

    Department dept = (Department) factory.getBean("dept");
    System.out.println(dept.getManager());

    Department dept2 = (Department) factory.getBean("dept2");
    System.out.println(dept2.getManager());
  }

}
   

It gives the following output, 
Employee[1, ABC, 90000.0]
Employee[1, ABC, 90000.0]
