A Groovy-based reader for Spring bean definitions: like a Groovy builder, but more of a DSL for Spring configuration.

This bean definition reader also understands XML bean definition files, allowing for seamless mixing and matching with Groovy bean definition files.

Typically applied to a org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory or a org.springframework.context.support.GenericApplicationContext, but can be used against any BeanDefinitionRegistry implementation.

Example Syntax

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory
import org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource

def reader = new GroovyBeanDefinitionReader(myApplicationContext)
reader.beans {
    dataSource(BasicDataSource) {                  // <--- invokeMethod
        driverClassName = "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"
        url = "jdbc:hsqldb:mem:grailsDB"
        username = "sa"                            // <-- setProperty
        password = ""
        settings = [mynew:"setting"]
    }
    sessionFactory(SessionFactory) {
        dataSource = dataSource                    // <-- getProperty for retrieving references
    }
    myService(MyService) {
        nestedBean = { AnotherBean bean ->         // <-- setProperty with closure for nested bean
            dataSource = dataSource
        }
    }
}

You can also load resources containing beans defined in a Groovy script using either the loadBeanDefinitions(Resource...) or loadBeanDefinitions(String...) method, with a script looking similar to the following.

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory
import org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource

beans {
    dataSource(BasicDataSource) {
        driverClassName = "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"
        url = "jdbc:hsqldb:mem:grailsDB"
        username = "sa"
        password = ""
        settings = [mynew:"setting"]
    }
    sessionFactory(SessionFactory) {
        dataSource = dataSource
    }
    myService(MyService) {
        nestedBean = { AnotherBean bean ->
            dataSource = dataSource
        }
    }
}
