Initialization callback methods
Springframework provides flexibility to initialize its Beans using the user defined methods. There is some scenario where application developer want to initialize the beans properties after setting all the values. The following example program demonstrates by defining a custom method to initialize the calues.
Spring’s managed bean has to implement InitializingBean from the springframework. This interface declares one method afterPropertiesSet() which has to be overridden by the bean. So, when the bean instance is created, this method also will be called.
Though this technique is not recommended. It is easy to directly configure in the xml configuration file with the initialization method name.use init-method=”initialize” to set the value. Look into the following code for more details on implementation.
