Maven and Spring Client Application using setter injection

Client/Standalone applications are possible with Spring framework and maven build tool. After this article you are getting knowledge about, how to integrate Spring IOC module with maven and use of Spring IOC framework in standalone applications.
If you are new for Maven build tool, please refer my previous article and create a java standalone project.

        Step-1: Creating my-beans.xml file in src/main/resources directory.
        Step-2: Creating Bean class in com.gurugubellitech.bean directory.
        Step-3: Creating TestApp class in com.gurugubellitech.client directory.
        Step-4: Adding required maven dependencies in pom.xml.
        Step-5: Output of the Application.

Step-1: Creating my-beans.xml file in src/main/resources directory:

my-beans.xml:

	<beans xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xsi:schemalocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
	http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">
	<bean class="com.gurugubellitech.bean.Employee" id="employee1">
	<property name="empNo" value="Emp1234"></property>
	<property name="firstName" value="Gurugubelli"></property>
	<property name="lastName" value="Technologies"></property>
	<property name="deptNo" value="Dept01"></property>
	<property name="deptName" value="Tech Developer"></property>
	</bean>
	<bean class="com.gurugubellitech.bean.Employee" id="employee2">
	<property name="empNo" value="Emp1235"></property>
	<property name="firstName" value="Technologies"></property>
	<property name="lastName" value="Gurugubelli"></property>
	<property name="deptNo" value="Dept02"></property>
	<property name="deptName" value="Tech Tester"></property>
	</bean>
	</beans>

Step-2: Creating Bean class in com.gurugubellitech.bean directory:

Employee.java:

	package com.gurugubellitech.bean;
	public class Employee {
	private String empNo;
	private String firstName;
	private String lastName;
	private String deptNo;
	private String deptName;
	/**
	* @return the empNo
	*/
	public String getEmpNo() {
	return empNo;
	}
	/**
	* @param empNo
	* the empNo to set
	*/
	public void setEmpNo(String empNo) {
	this.empNo = empNo;
	}
	/**
	* @return the firstName
	*/
	public String getFirstName() {
	return firstName;
	}
	/**
	* @param firstName
	* the firstName to set
	*/
	public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
	this.firstName = firstName;
	}
	/**
	* @return the lastName
	*/
	public String getLastName() {
	return lastName;
	}
	/**
	* @param lastName
	* the lastName to set
	*/
	public void setLastName(String lastName) {
	this.lastName = lastName;
	}
	/**
	* @return the deptNo
	*/
	public String getDeptNo() {
	return deptNo;
	}
	/**
	* @param deptNo
	* the deptNo to set
	*/
	public void setDeptNo(String deptNo) {
	this.deptNo = deptNo;
	}
	/**
	* @return the deptName
	*/
	public String getDeptName() {
	return deptName;
	}
	/**
	* @param deptName
	* the deptName to set
	*/
	public void setDeptName(String deptName) {
	this.deptName = deptName;
	}
	}

Step-3: Creating TestApp class in com.gurugubellitech.client directory:

TestApp.java:

	package com.gurugubellitech.client;
	import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
	import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
	import com.gurugubellitech.bean.Employee;
	public class TestApp {
	private static ApplicationContext context;
	public static void main(String[] args) {
	String configFile = "my-beans.xml";
	context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(configFile);
	Employee empDeveloper = context.getBean("employee1", Employee.class);
	Employee empTester = context.getBean("employee2", Employee.class);
	System.out.println("======= Tech Developer Details =======");
	System.out.println("Employee ID : " + empDeveloper.getEmpNo());
	System.out.println("First Name : " + empDeveloper.getFirstName());
	System.out.println("Last Name : " + empDeveloper.getLastName());
	System.out.println("Dept NO : " + empDeveloper.getDeptName());
	System.out.println("Dept Name : " + empDeveloper.getDeptName());
	System.out.println("\n\n======= Tech Tester Details =======");
	System.out.println("Employee ID : " + empTester.getEmpNo());
	System.out.println("First Name : " + empTester.getFirstName());
	System.out.println("Last Name : " + empTester.getLastName());
	System.out.println("Dept NO : " + empTester.getDeptNo());
	System.out.println("Dept Name : " + empTester.getDeptName());
	}
	}

Step-4: Adding required maven dependencies in pom.xml:

pom.xml:

	<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xsi:schemalocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
	<modelversion>4.0.0</modelversion>
	<groupid>com.gurugubellitech</groupid>
	<artifactid>MavenClientApp</artifactid>
	<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
	<dependencies>
	<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-beans -->
	<dependency>
	<groupid>org.springframework</groupid>

	</dependency>
	<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-core -->

	</dependency>
	</dependencies>
	</project>

First Name :  Gurugubelli
Last Name :  Technologies
Dept NO :  Tech Developer
Dept Name :  Tech Developer

=======  Tech Tester Details   =======
Employee ID :  Emp1235
First Name :  Technologies
Last Name :  Gurugubelli
