I am learning Spring and I have a question regarding how you use it

  • 0

I am learning Spring and I have a question regarding how you use it in standalone applications (and also when using it for making web applications). The examples I have been coded so far has used a simple main method where I retrieve beans by calling getBean on the. Context object. However, you probably want to do this in multiple classes so do you first get a context and then call getBean or are there other cleaner alternatives? Or is this the way you do it in standalone and web apps?

    If you’re calling context.getBean() everywhere, you’re probably missing the whole point of Spring, which is a dependency injection framework.

    In a standalone app, you typically call context.getBean() only once (or at least, very rarely), in order to get a “root” bean. This bean is injected by Spring with other beans, and so on.

    In a web app, it all depends on which framework you use. But typically, you register a listener in the web.xml which loads the context for you, and controllers are created and/or injected by Spring.
