Constructor injection with dependent object

If there is a HAS-A relationship between classes, create an instance of the dependent object (containing object) first, and then pass it as a parameter to the constructor of the main class. In this scenario, our scenario is employee HAS-A address. The Address class object will be called a dependent object. Let's first take a look at the Address class:

Address.java

This class contains three properties, a constructor, and a toString() method to return the values of these objects.

package com.w3codebox;
public class Address {
private String city;
private String state;
private String country;
public Address(String city, String state, String country) {
    super();
    this.city = city;
    this.state = state;
    this.country = country;
}
public String toString(){
    return city + " " + state + " " + country;
}
}

Employee.java

It contains three properties: id, name, and address (dependent object), two constructors, and a show() method to display the record of the current object (including dependent objects).

package com.w3codebox;
public class Employee {
private int id;
private String name;
private Address address; // Aggregation
public Employee() {System.out.println("def cons");}
public Employee(int id, String name, Address address) {
    super();
    this.id = id;
    this.name = name;
    this.address = address;
}
void show(){
    System.out.println(id+" "+name);
    System.out.println(address.toString());
}
}

applicationContext.xml

ref L'attributo viene utilizzato per definire un riferimento ad un altro oggetto, ad esempio, passeremo l'oggetto di dipendenza come parametro del costruttore.

<constructor-arg value="Sonoo"></constructor-arg>

</constructor-arg>
</bean>
</beans>

Test.java

Questa classe recupera un Bean dal file applicationContext.xml e chiama il metodo show.

package com.w3codebox;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.core.io.*;
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        Resource r = new ClassPathResource("applicationContext.xml");
        BeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(r);
        
        Employee s = (Employee) factory.getBean("e");
        s.show();
        
    }
}
