@PostConstruct and @PreDestroy example

In this tutorial you will learn how to implement the @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy which work similar to init-method and destroy-method in bean configuration file or implement the InitializingBean and DisposableBean in your bean class. To use @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy you have to register the CommonAnnotationBeanPostProcessor at bean configuration or specifying the <context:annotation-config /> in the bean configuration file.

StudentService.java

package com.roseindia.student.services;

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.annotation.PreDestroy;

public class StudentService {

	String message;

	public String getMessage() {
		return message;
	}

	public void setMessage(String message) {
		this.message = message;
	}

	@PostConstruct
	public void initIt() throws Exception {
		System.out.println("After properties has been set : " + message);
	}

	@PreDestroy
	public void cleanUp() throws Exception {
		System.out.println("Cleaned Everyting");
	}

}

AppMain.java

package com.roseindia.common;

import org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

import com.roseindia.student.services.StudentService;

public class AppMain {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		ConfigurableApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
				new String[] { "context.xml" });
		StudentService stud = (StudentService) context
				.getBean("studentService");
		System.out.println(stud);
		context.close();
	}
}
