POJO & JavaBean & SpringBean

• Java Bean: Classes adhering to 3 constraints:
■ 1: Have public default (no argument) constructors
■ 2: Allow access to their properties using getter and setter methods
■ 3:Implement java.io.Serializable

• POJO: Plain Old Java Object
■ No constraints
■ Any Java Object is a POJO!

• Spring Bean: Any Java object that is managed by Spring
■ Spring uses IOC Container (Bean Factory or Application Context) to manage these objects
