Springs XmlBeanFactory is deprecated


I try to learn Spring. I am following this site http://www.roseindia.net/spring/spring3/spring-3-hello-world.shtml

I tried one example in that. I am using some what like below, but here it shows:

The type XmlBeanFactory is deprecated

What do I have to use as an alternative to this?

public class SpringHelloWorldTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        XmlBeanFactory beanFactory = new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource("SpringHelloWorld.xml"));

        Spring3HelloWorld myBean = (Spring3HelloWorld)beanFactory.getBean("Spring3HelloWorldBean");
        myBean.sayHello();
    }
}

Solution

  • ApplicationContext is a sub-interface of BeanFactory.You can use this way

    public class SpringHelloWorldTest {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            ApplicationContext context= new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("SpringHelloWorld.xml");
            Spring3HelloWorld myBean= (Spring3HelloWorld) context.getBean("Spring3HelloWorldBean");
            myBean.sayHello();
        }
    }
