XmlBeanFactory vs ClassPathXmlApplicationContext

In my previous blog, I explained how to use ClassPathXmlApplicationContext. Today when I debug a application, I found below issues regarding XmlBeanFactory.

When we use XmlBeanFactory, TX annotation is not working. and it does not even load when you say in XML file.

So if you want to use annotation, please use ClassPathXmlApplicationContext. I believe in WEB application, tomcat system actually uses ClassPathXmlApplicationContext. So in order to make your code testing separately, please do not use XmlBeanFactory.

Below it is the example of XmlBeanFactory and ClassPathXmlApplicationContext

XmlBeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource(
"applicationContext2.xml"));
InvoiceProcessDao process = (InvoiceProcessDao)factory.getBean("invoiceProcess");


ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext3.xml");
InvoiceProcessDao process = (InvoiceProcessDao)ctx.getBean("invoiceProcess");
process.checkPayment();
System.out.println(" Over") ;
