概述
在互联网蓬勃发展的今天,谈到Java Web应用就不得不提到Spring。几乎所有主流的Java Web应用的开发都在使用Spring。Spring已不仅仅是一个管理Java Bean的容器,而是一个生态。包括:Spring Framework(Ioc容器) 、Spring Data(数据库相关)、Spring Security(权限相关)、Spring Cloud(微服务相关)等等。这些都是基于Spring Framework的基础上进行构建的,学好Spring Framework是非常必要的。
IOC容器
IOC(Inversion of Control),通常被翻译为“控制反转”。也被称为DI(dependency injection)。在IOC容器中Bean是一等公民,容器管理着Bean的生命周期以及Bean与Bean之间的依赖关系。
优点
资源的集中管理。
降低了资源之间的耦合度,让依赖关系变得可配置。
缺点
引入新的框架,增加学习成本。
所有的Bean创建都是用的反射,会降低Bean创建的性能。
看到这里可能还是有点过于抽象。引用官网的一句话
“The org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext interface represents the Spring IoC container and is responsible for instantiating, configuring, and assembling the beans.”
ApplicationContext这就是IOC容器。

/**
* Central interface to provide configuration for an application.
* This is read-only while the application is running, but may be
* reloaded if the implementation supports this.
*
* <p>An ApplicationContext provides:
* <ul>
* <li>Bean factory methods for accessing application components.
* Inherited from {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.ListableBeanFactory}.
* <li>The ability to load file resources in a generic fashion.
* Inherited from the {@link org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader} interface.
* <li>The ability to publish events to registered listeners.
* Inherited from the {@link ApplicationEventPublisher} interface.
* <li>The ability to resolve messages, supporting internationalization.
* Inherited from the {@link MessageSource} interface.
* <li>Inheritance from a parent context. Definitions in a descendant context
* will always take priority. This means, for example, that a single parent
* context can be used by an entire web application, while each servlet has
* its own child context that is independent of that of any other servlet.
* </ul>
*
* <p>In addition to standard {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory}
* lifecycle capabilities, ApplicationContext implementations detect and invoke
* {@link ApplicationContextAware} beans as well as {@link ResourceLoaderAware},
* {@link ApplicationEventPublisherAware} and {@link MessageSourceAware} beans.
