Spring - Bean Post Processors

The BeanPostProcessor interface defines callback methods that you can implement to provide your own instantiation logic, dependency-resolution logic etc.

You can also implement some custom logic after the Spring container finishes instantiating, configuring, and initializing a bean by plugging in one or more BeanPostProcessor implementations.

You can configure multiple BeanPostProcessor interfaces and you can control the order in which these BeanPostProcessor interfaces execute by setting the order property provided the BeanPostProcessor implements the Ordered interface.

The BeanPostProcessors operate on bean (or object) instances which means that the Spring IoC container instantiates a bean instance and then BeanPostProcessor interfaces do their work.

An ApplicationContext automatically detects any beans that are defined with implementation of the BeanPostProcessor interface and registers these beans as post-processors, to be then called appropriately by the container upon bean creation.

Spring - Bean Post Processors Example

HelloWorld.java

package com.jtc;
public class HelloWorld {
private String message;
public void setMessage(String message){
this.message = message;
}
public void getMessage(){
System.out.println("Your Message : " + message);
}
public void init(){
System.out.println("Inside Bean init.");
}
public void destroy(){
System.out.println("Inside Bean destroy.");
}
}

InitHelloWorld.java

package com.jtc;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanPostProcessor;
import org.springframework.beans.BeansException;
public class InitHelloWorld implements BeanPostProcessor {
public Object postProcessBeforeInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {
System.out.println("BeforeInitialization : " + beanName);
return bean; // you can return any other object as well
}
public Object postProcessAfterInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {
System.out.println("AfterInitialization : " + beanName);
return bean; // you can return any other object as well
}
}

MainApp.java

package com.jtc;
import org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
public class MainApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
AbstractApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("Beans.xml");
HelloWorld obj = (HelloWorld) context.getBean("helloWorld");
obj.getMessage();
context.registerShutdownHook();
}
}

Beans.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">

   <bean id="helloWorld" class="com.jtc.HelloWorld"
       init-method="init" destroy-method="destroy">
       <property name="message" value="Hello World!"/>
   </bean>

   <bean class="com.jtc.InitHelloWorld" />

</beans>

OutPut

BeforeInitialization : helloWorld
Inside Bean init.
AfterInitialization : helloWorld
Your Message : Hello World!
Inside Bean destroy.

Note:

Here you need to register a shutdown hook registerShutdownHook() method that is declared on the AbstractApplicationContext class.
This will ensures a graceful shutdown and calls the relevant destroy methods.
