无法使用 Maven 运行 Spring Hello World 程序

Question

I am learning spring and trying to run a basic Hello World program in using spring. However, post loading of beans, I don't get the output.

The following is my code -

beans.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
   http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">
    <bean id="HelloWorldBean" class="com.spring.test.HelloWorld">
        <property name="message" value="Hello World!" />
    </bean>
</beans>

HelloWorld.java

package com.spring.test;

public class HelloWorld {
    private String message;
    public String getMessage() {
        return "Your message is - " + message;
    }
    public void setMessage(String message) {
        this.message = message;
    }
}

App.java (Main Class)

package com.spring.test;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public class App {
    private static ApplicationContext context;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath:beans.xml");
            HelloWorld hw = (HelloWorld) context.getBean("HelloWorldBean");
            hw.getMessage();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Using 4.3.12.RELEASE for my spring libraries.

pom.xml

The below is output on eclipse

Aug 07, 2020 6:01:39 PM org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext prepareRefresh
INFO: Refreshing org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext@25359ed8: startup date [Fri Aug 07 18:01:39 IST 2020]; root of context hierarchy
Aug 07, 2020 6:01:40 PM org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader loadBeanDefinitions
INFO: Loading XML bean definitions from class path resource [beans.xml]

Thanks in advance. Any help would be highly appreciated....

Answer 1

Looks like you're successfully initializing the bean, but not doing anything with the result. To be precise, calling the method:

hw.getMessage();

Does not do anything by itself, it just retrieves a value that is then ignored. You could, instead, output this value:

System.out.println(hw.getMessage());
