I'm getting back into Spring (currently v4). It's all wonderful now with @SpringBootApplication
and the other annotations but all the documentation seems to forget to mention how I define other beans in XML!
For example I'd like to create an "SFTP Session Factory" as defined at: http://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/reference/html/sftp.html
There is a nice bit of XML to define the bean but where on earth do I put it and how do I link it in? Previously I did a:
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
"classpath:applicationContext.xml");
to specify the file name and location but now that I'm trying to use:
ApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(Application.class);
Where do I put the XML file? Is there a magic spring name to call it?
As long as you're starting with a base @Configuration
class to begin with, which it maybe sounds like you are with @SpringBootApplication
, you can use the @ImportResource
annotation to include an XML configuration file as well.
@SpringBootApplication
@ImportResource("classpath:spring-sftp-config.xml")
public class SpringConfiguration {
//
}
