Bean Properties Best Practices (Real Newbie)

[hidethebaby]

Hi,

1. Is it good practice to be setting non interface properties using the the configuration xml file?

2. Are there any tutorials out there for using spring outside of a web application? I have googled high and low but cant find any.

Regards
Willie

Ok, now that I have given everyone a good laugh.... this is much the point of spring it seems. My excuse ... such a different doing things - you end up writing hardly anything in Java and it becomse a bit unnerving.

If you want to see some examples of loading a Spring application context outside a web container, try some of the following:

- Spring jPetstore sample, client directory
- Spring Rich Client CVS Petclinic sample, PetclinicStandalone class
- Acegi Security Contact sample, client directory
