In this method we can define a method as initialization method so that Spring can call that method once setting all properies and checking the dependencies
I am creating init()
method inside the Car
bean
package com.kayak; public class Car { private String name; public Car() { System.out.println("Constructor method called"); } public void init() { System.out.println("Init method called"); } public String getName() { return name; } }
Now you have to add init-method
attaribute to the bean
tag and set the value as name of the method init
public static void main(String[] args) { ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("bean.xml"); Car car=(Car)ctx.getBean("car"); }
You can simply add mthod to your Bean and update your bean.xml
Now you can see the following output:
Feb 16, 2018 4:24:27 PM org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader loadBeanDefinitions INFO: Loading XML bean definitions from class path resource [bean.xml] Constructor method called Init method called BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 2 seconds)
