In Spring, bean scope is used to decide which type of bean instance should be return from Spring container back to the caller.
5 types of bean scopes supported :
In most cases, you may only deal with the Spring’s core scope – singleton and prototype, and the default scope is singleton.
P.S * means only valid in the context of a web-aware Spring ApplicationContext
Here’s an example to show you what’s the different between bean scope : singleton and prototype.
package com.mkyong.customer.services; public class CustomerService { String message; public String getMessage() { return message; } public void setMessage(String message) { this.message = message; } }
If no bean scope is specified in bean configuration file, default to singleton.
<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-2.5.xsd"> <bean id="customerService" class="com.mkyong.customer.services.CustomerService" /> </beans>
Run it
package com.mkyong.common; import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext; import com.mkyong.customer.services.CustomerService; public class App { public static void main( String[] args ) { ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[] {"Spring-Customer.xml"}); CustomerService custA = (CustomerService)context.getBean("customerService"); custA.setMessage("Message by custA"); System.out.println("Message : " + custA.getMessage()); //retrieve it again CustomerService custB = (CustomerService)context.getBean("customerService"); System.out.println("Message : " + custB.getMessage()); } }
Output
Message : Message by custA Message : Message by custA
Since the bean ‘customerService’ is in singleton scope, the second retrieval by ‘custB’ will display the message set by ‘custA’ also, even it’s retrieve by a new getBean() method. In singleton, only a single instance per Spring IoC container, no matter how many time you retrieve it with getBean(), it will always return the same instance.
If you want a new ‘customerService’ bean instance, every time you call it, use prototype instead.
<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-2.5.xsd"> <bean id="customerService" class="com.mkyong.customer.services.CustomerService" scope="prototype"/> </beans>
Run it again
Message : Message by custA Message : null
In prototype scope, you will have a new instance for each getBean()
method called.
You can also use annotation to define your bean scope.
package com.mkyong.customer.services; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Scope; import org.springframework.stereotype.Service; @Service @Scope("prototype") public class CustomerService { String message; public String getMessage() { return message; } public void setMessage(String message) { this.message = message; } }
