KnowledgeCenters Java KnowledgeCenter Java Courses

The Spring Framework is an open source framework and an inversion of controller container for the Java platform. The Spring Framework is one of the most popular application development frameworks for creating enterprise Java applications. This course covers the basics of creating and configuring Spring applications using both Java-based and annotation configurations. In this course, you will learn about alternate ways of creating and configuring Spring applications, namely, annotation-based configuration and Java-based configuration. You will also learn about declaring Spring beans using a component scanner and about Spring Expression Language.

Objectives

Spring and Annotation Configuration

start the course
recognize the basics of configuring Spring applications using annotations
use the @Autowired annotation to set bean properties
use the @Autowired annotation to set up constructor injection
use the @Value annotation to set bean properties
make bean autowiring optional based on if a bean is available
use the @Qualifier annotation to help reduce any potential ambiguities
use the @Required annotation to make sure a bean property is being set via setter injection
use the @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy annotations to define methods that run after a bean is instantiated and before a bean is destroyed

Spring Alternative Annotations

recognize the origin of alternative annotations that can be used to configure Spring applications
use the @Resource annotation to support dependency injection in a Spring application
use the @Inject annotation to support dependency injection in a Spring application

Spring Component Scanning

recognize the basics of implicitly declaring Spring beans by using the component scanner
use the @Named annotation to support configuring dependency injection
recognize and identify the various stereotype annotations that can be used to declare Spring beans
use custom annotations to declare classes that should be registered as Spring beans

Spring and Java-Based Configuration

recognize the basics of configuring a Spring application using Java class files
create a Spring application that is configured using a Java class file
perform setter injection from a Spring application with a Java-based configuration
perform constructor injection from a Spring application with a Java-based configuration
set up autowiring for a Spring application configured with a Java-based configuration
set up component scanning for a Spring application with a Java-based configuration

Understanding Spring Expression Language

recognize Spring Expression Language and some of its features
use Spring Expression Language to help configure XML-based Spring applications
use Spring Expression Language to help configure annotation-based Spring applications
use Spring Expression Language to evaluate and set property values
use the safe navigation operator to avoid the NullPointerException when using Spring Expression Language
use Spring Expression Language to expose data from the Java system properties object

Practice: Configuring for Java Spring

understand how to configure Spring applications using both annotation-based configuration, and Java-based configuration, and also to demonstrate using Spring Expression Language
