Springs XmlBeanFactory is deprecated

Question

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();     } } 

Answer 1

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();     } } 

Answer 2

Here is the substitute code,

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