FileSystemResource Example

Below is a simple example of Spring FileSystemResource.

First create an Address bean under src as shown below. File: com.ram.beans.Address.java

package com.ram.beans;

public class Address {
 private String street;
 private String city;
 private String state;
 
 public String getStreet() {
  return street;
 }
 public void setStreet(String street) {
  this.street = street;
 }
 public String getCity() {
  return city;
 }
 public void setCity(String city) {
  this.city = city;
 }
 public String getState() {
  return state;
 }
 public void setState(String state) {
  this.state = state;
 }
 
 
}

Next create applicationContext.xml file under src. The file is given below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
 xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">
 
 <bean id="addr" class="com.ram.beans.Address">
  <property name="street" value="Richmond"></property>
  <property name="city" value="Melbourne"></property>
  <property name="state" value="Victoria"></property>
 </bean>
 
</beans>

Next create a main class under src as shown. File: com.ram.app.FileSystemResourceExample.java

package com.ram.app;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.core.io.FileSystemResource;
import org.springframework.core.io.Resource;
import com.ram.beans.Address;

public class FileSystemResourceExample {
 public static void main(String[] args){
  Resource resource = new FileSystemResource("F:\\Blogger\\applicationContext.xml");
  BeanFactory container = new XmlBeanFactory(resource);
  Object obj = container.getBean("addr");
  
  Address address = (Address) obj;
  System.out.println("Street = "+address.getStreet());
  System.out.println("City = "+address.getCity());
  System.out.println("State = "+address.getState());
 }
}

Execute FileSystemResourceExample.java file. Output is given below.
