Spring 4 MVC Hibernate JPA XML Config Example

Spring 4 MVC Hibernate JPA XML Config Example helps developers who are looking for spring XML based configuration to initiate MVC and root application context. The below tutorial explains to the same example with java annotations and we will use same code base and will create XML context files.

Spring 4 MVC Hibernate JPA Java Config Tutorial

Spring 4 MVC Hibernate JPA Java Config Tutorial helps developers who are looking for spring java based configuration to initiate MVC and database application context.

Spring MVC CRUD Example using XML config:

This tutorial is more like Spring MVC CRUD with transactions with below functionalities:

Displaying Customer List
Adding new customer
Editing customer
Deleting customer.

Installations:

Eclipse
Tomcat 8
Spring 4
Spring ORM and Transaction Management
Hibernate 5
Bootstrap
Maven 4

Lets create new maven project in eclipse: File -> New -> Project -> Maven -> Maven Project and click on Next
Give group Id as “org.javasavvy.spring-jpa-xml” , artifact as “spring-mvc-jpa-xml” and packaging type as “war“

Update pom.xml with below dependencies:

Execute maven install and create the below project structure. In the Java config example, we created packages for app and mvc config, but here it is not required as we are moving configuration to xml files.

Create applicationContext-jdbc.xml:

<context:annotation-config /> will enable annotations @autowired,@required
component scan will scan the given base packages and created bean that are annotated with @Component,@Cervice,@Repository
tx-annotation driven will enable the declaractive transactions and will scan for classes that are annotated with @Transaction
Configure JPA Transaction manager and LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean in this xml. for more details check the Java config example.

Create mvcConfig.xml file in WEB-INF/config. In this context file,

mvc-annotation drivcen element will enable MVC annotation @RequestMapping,@Controller etc
component scan package will auto create bean that are annotated with @Controller
Define view resolver bean configuraiton also in this file
