  • Spring provides a core factory pattern, which eliminates the need to manually program factory objects (usually realized as singletons). It also, as the documentation explains, "allows you to decouple the configuration and specification of dependencies from your actual program logic."
  • The fundamental benefit of the Spring framework is its ability to act as a factory to create objects. Spring reads a schematic defined in an external configuration file, creates and wires the objects together using reflection, and then passes the objects back to you. Think of Spring as a factory that you don't have to write any code for.
