At first sight, all looks rosy. The user will write some text. The developer will capture the text and call the CheckSpellings function and will find a list of Typos that he will show to the User. Everything seems to work great until one fine day when one user starts writing French in the Editor.
To provide the support for more languages, we need to have more SpellCheckers. Probably French, German, Spanish etc. We need to remove this dependency. Further, Our Text Editor needs a way to hold the concrete reference of any Spell Checker based on developer's discretion at run time.
So, as we saw in the introduction of DI, it suggests that the class should be injected with its dependencies. So we can restructure our code as. Lets try to change our class using Constructor DI. The changed TextEditor class will look something like:. So that the calling code, while creating the text editor can inject the appropriate SpellChecker Type to the instance of the TextEditor.

IOC stands for inversion of control and is a higher level concept that states that we invert the control of the creation of objects from the caller to the callee. Without inversion of control, you are in charge of the creation of objects. In an inversion of control scenario a framework is in charge to create instances of a class.
Dependency injection is the method through which we can achieve inversion of control. In order for us to leave the control up to the framework or job we declare dependencies and the IOC container injects those dependencies in our class i. First of all the classes and their lifecycle will be managed by Spring. Spring completely manages the process from creation to destruction. Secondly, you will get reduced coupling between classes. A class is not tightly coupled with an implementation of another class.
If an implementation changes, or if you want to change the implementation of the injected interface you can do so easily without needing to change all the instances in your code base by hand. Third, there is an increased cohesion between classes. High cohesion means keeping classes that are associated with one another together. Because we are injecting interfaces in other classes it is clear which classes are necessary for the calling class to operate. Fourth, there is increased testability.
Because we are using interfaces in the constructor we can easily swap out the implementation with a mock implementation. The traditional way of getting address instance in Employee would be by creating a new instance of Address class. Spring creates all dependent object ton us hence we need not to worry about object.

Both load bean definitions, wire beans together, and dispense beans upon request. But it also provides:. A BeanFactory pretty much just instantiates and configures beans.
An ApplicationContext also does that, and it provides the supporting infrastructure to enable lots of enterprise-specific features such as transactions and AOP.

Thanks for being mentor for so many tech ppl like me. Hi Lokesh, your blog really gives me a good insight of the technology.
Thanks for taking time and pain in collecting this information and making it available for the java geeks. DI is Injecting Dependancies. Since the process of DI is managed by the container and not us , the flow is reversed hence it is Inversion Of Control.
So ideally, The Servlet which instantiated by container, whose lifecyle methods are managed by the web container, is also IOC? You are right for most of the part. I have only different opinion on example given i. IOC basically facilitates having different components designed and coded separately and later used together by defining their relation with DI.
In case of servlets we do not have multiple components. There is only one component i. A servlet is basically combination of front controller and mediator pattern, which container uses internally.
Actually, it is a very good topic and I would like others to jump into discussion with their thoughts. Suppose if I have a Segment Object which depends on two Point objects, Two point objects will be created and instantiated seperately, and can be injected to segment object.
Flow is straight. Application to framework. However, When we talk about servlet. It is the servlet container that loads and instantiates servlets, but since it is independant servlet and has no depandancies to be injected, there is no DI, but since it is not us and it is the servlet container which instanciates and loads the servlets, the flow is reversed i.
Thanks for detailed comment. I appreciate it. In a sense you are right. IOC also helps in creating executable components without much details of background infrastructure. A valid point can be make in your case when servlet container provides advanced capabilities to servlet e. So, servlets can be argued as IOC as well. I agree on this with you. In fact IOC is much broader term and can include anywhere control of execution is put at separate place, away from executables.
With or without DI?? I really doubt myself. Basically we provide servlet mappings in web. Should we consider them as DI? My take is YES. What you think? But I think Container does not Inject any dependancies in the servlets? Is it that, Servlet object is dependant on other objects and servlets cannot be formed without injecting those dependancies? No right? If the servlet object would have been dependant on any object, and those objects would have been injected by Container like Segment object has to have 2 point objects, i.
Even in Case of advanced capabilities the container does not have to inject any resources to servlet, Servlet is managed by container, but container does not have to inject anything to servlet instance, to form servlet, right? Hence It is not DI. DI- If One object is dependant on the other and if other object needs to be injected to that object,. IOC without DI- Flow of control is from Container to application but object is not dependant on the other and hence no need to inject dependancies.
We will also go through Spring Bean. Below is the table to contents for quick navigation to different sections of Spring IoC tutorial. Spring IoC is the mechanism to achieve loose-coupling between Objects dependencies. To achieve loose coupling and dynamic binding of the objects at runtime, objects dependencies are injected by other assembler objects.
Spring IoC container is the program that injects dependencies into an object and make it ready for our use. We have already looked how we can use Spring Dependency Injection to implement IoC in our applications. Spring IoC container classes are part of org. Spring IoC container provides us different ways to decouple the object dependencies. BeanFactory is the root interface of Spring IoC container.
Spring Framework provides a number of useful ApplicationContext implementation classes that we can use to get the spring context and then the Spring Bean. Usually, if you are working on Spring MVC application and your application is configured to use Spring Framework, Spring IoC container gets initialized when the application starts and when a bean is requested, the dependencies are injected automatically.
However, for a standalone application, you need to initialize the container somewhere in the application and then use it to get the spring beans. Spring Bean is nothing special, any object in the Spring framework that we initialize through Spring container is called Spring Bean. Spring Framework is extendable and we can create our own scopes too. However, most of the times we are good with the scopes provided by the framework. We will inject our Spring beans to this controller class through WebApplicationContext container.
We need to configure our application for Spring Framework so that the configuration metadata will get loaded and context will be initialized. Now when you will launch the web application, the home page will get loaded and in the console following logs will be printed when you refresh the page multiple times.
