Spring Automatically Detecting classes using @Repository Example

In Spring automatically detecting classes are @Repository, @Service, and @Controller. In this example using @Repository annotations in side bean and adding component scane in spring configuration xml file. In Persistence layer ,@Repository supports as a marker for automatic exception translation.

Create a Bean with @Repository

package com.pretech;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
@Repository("repo")
public class Employee {
	public String getName() {
		return"Vinod";
	}
	public String getAddress() {
		return"bangalore";
	}
}

Update component scan details in spring configuration file (SpringContext.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beansxmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">
<context:component-scanbase-package="com.pretech"/>
</beans> 

Create a Main class to test @Repository

package com.pretech;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext; 
public class RepositoryTest { 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("SpringContext.xml");
		Employee emp =(Employee) context.getBean("repo");
		System.out.println(emp.getName());
		System.out.println(emp.getAddress());
	}
}

Ouput
