Is it possible to configure the spring.net in xml not in app.config file.if yes how can i do it.

Answer 1

Yes, you can place your configuration in normal xml files. In the Spring.NET documentation, the following example is given:

services.xml:

<objects xmlns="http://www.springframework.net"> 

  <object id="PetStore" type="PetStore.Services.PetStoreService, PetStore">
    <property name="AccountDao" ref="AccountDao"/>
    <property name="ItemDao" ref="ItemDao"/>
    <!-- additional collaborators and configuration for this object go here -->
  </object>

  <!-- more object definitions for services go here -->

</objects>

The file daos.xml has a similar structure and contains definitions for ItemDao and AccountDao.

In code, you can create an instance of your container using the files services.xml and daos.xml as follows:

IApplicationContext context = new XmlApplicationContext("services.xml", "daos.xml")
