Introducing IoC and DI in Spring

Abstract

In Chapter 1, we covered the basic principles of Inversion of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection (DI). Practically, DI is a specialized form of IoC, although you will often find that the two terms are used interchangeably. In this chapter, we take a much more detailed look at IoC and DI, formalizing the relationship between the two concepts and looking in great detail at how Spring fits into the picture.KeywordsConfiguration FilePublic ClassSetter InjectionDependent ObjectPublic VoidThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
