Create Java Project

• Open Eclipse
• Go to File -> New -> Others… -> Java Project
• Create DI-Array project
• Right click on project -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path -> Libraries tab -> Add External JARs
  - commons-logging-X.X.jar
  - spring-beans-X.X.X.jar
  - spring-context-X.X.X.jar
  - spring-core-X.X.X.jar
  - spring-expression-X.X.X.jar
• * You can find dtd information from spring-beans-X.X.X.jar -> org -> springframework -> beans -> factory -> xml -> spring-beans.dtd (line no 36 & 37)

 */

Engine.java

package com.codeFactory.beans;
/**
 * @author code.factory

 */
public class Engine {
	private int modelYear;
	public Engine() {
		System.out.println("Engine.Engine()");

Client.java

package com.codeFactory.test;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import com.codeFactory.beans.Car;
/**
 * @author code.factory

		ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("com/codeFactory/resources/spring.xml");
		
		Car t = (Car) context.getBean("c");
		t.print();

}

Output:

Engine.Engine()
Engine.Engine()
Engine.Engine()
Car.Car()
Company Name [JLR, Hummer, Audi]
Engine - Model Year 2001
Engine - Model Year 2002
Engine - Model Year 2003
