You can use constructor-arg tag to pass string literal and you can use value attraibute to pass the name of the Car which you create
So your Car
class would be like this
package com.kayak; public class Car { private String name; public Car(String name) { this.name= name; } public String getName() { return name; } }
You can create the configuration file with the following code. In this code, I have used constructor-arg
with the value attribute
Now you can test the above code with following code
package springstrat; import com.kayak.Car; import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext; public class SpringStrat { public static void main(String[] args) { ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("bean.xml"); Car car=(Car)ctx.getBean("car"); System.out.println(car.getName()); } }
