Introduction
The Spring Java Configuration project (JavaConfig for short) provides a type-safe, pure-Java option for configuring the Spring IoC container. While XML is a widely-used configuration approach, Spring's versatility and metadata-based internal handling of bean definitions means alternatives to XML config are easy to implement.Requirements
