Copyright © 2005 Finetix LLC All Rights Reserved 2 Application Context “One Singleton to rule them all” The IApplicationContext is the ‘normal’ top level entry point to use SpringFramework.net Inside you will find (along with other stuff) implementation of: IObjectFactory IResourceLocator These are the interfaces that are most used in day to day programming With Spring.

4. Copyright © 2005 Finetix LLC All Rights Reserved 3 Spring ObjectFactory  The center of it all… Since the Application Context is an IObjectFactory – you can use it To act as a ‘dynamic factory’ for your objects. You simply ask the factory for your object – and you use it as you normally Would use any “new’d” object. The real beauty is that Spring manages assembling that object for you – Giving it whatever dependencies it needs.

5. Copyright © 2005 Finetix LLC All Rights Reserved 4 Spring Resource Abstractions You can also use the IApplicationContext’s IResourceLocator interface: This allows you to get your resources from wherever they may be. This could Be at a URL, a File, an Embedded Resource, etc.

16. Copyright © 2005 Finetix LLC All Rights Reserved 15 Spring Data Access and Transactions  ADO.Net  Hibernate  IBatis.net  Basic patterns and utility classes/ base classes to speed up creating DAO and templated data access classes.  Transaction support  The goal is to reduce code needed to get rolling!

19. Copyright © 2005 Finetix LLC All Rights Reserved 18 Spring Expressions Evaluation of text expressions against live objects. Sort of like XPath for objects. Simple Example: Inventor tesla = new Inventor("Nikola Tesla", new DateTime(1856, 7, 9), "Serbian"); tesla.PlaceOfBirth.City = "Smiljan"; string evaluatedName = (string) ExpressionEvaluator.GetValue(tesla, "Name"); string evaluatedCity = (string) ExpressionEvaluator.GetValue(tesla, "PlaceOfBirth.City"));

20. Copyright © 2005 Finetix LLC All Rights Reserved 19 Expressions Continued This can get more complex. You can evaluate objects sub parts, sub parts, etc. Inventor pupin = (Inventor) ExpressionEvaluator.GetValue(ieee, "Officers['president']"; string city = (string) ExpressionEvaluator.GetValue(ieee, "Officers['president'].PlaceOfBirth.City"); ExpressionEvaluator.SetValue(ieee, "Officers['advisors'][0].PlaceOfBirth.Country", "Croatia"); In the latest Spring.net release- there is support of literals, logic, properties, indexers, arrays, types, and lots more
