Spring Lifecycle Demo

The project demonstrates the lifecycle of the Spring Boot

User manual

This project has maven-wrapper and uses the spring-boot-maven-plugin.

So you should open root directory of the project and run:

mvnw spring-boot:run

And the console outputs a log that clearly shows the Spring lifecycle using the integration tools provided by Spring Framework

b.b.e.s.TestBeanFactoryPostProcessor     : BeanFactoryPostProcessor constructor
b.b.e.s.TestBeanFactoryPostProcessor     : BeanFactoryPostProcessor#postProcessBeanFactory method
b.b.e.s.TestBeanPostProcessor            : BeanPostProcessor constructor
b.b.e.s.TestBeanPostProcessor            : @PostConstruct annotated BeanPostProcessor method
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : Static initialization block
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : Non-static initialization block
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : Bean constructor
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : Setter-base Dependency Injection
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : The standard set of *Aware interfaces
b.b.e.s.TestBeanPostProcessor            : BeanPostProcessor#postProcessBeforeInitialization() method - beanName = testBean
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : @PostConstruct annotated method
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : InitializingBean#afterPropertiesSet() method
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : initMethod registered method
b.b.e.s.TestBeanPostProcessor            : BeanPostProcessor#postProcessAfterInitialization() method - beanName = testBean
b.b.e.s.TestSmartLifecycle               : SmartLifecycle#isRunning method
b.b.e.s.TestSmartLifecycle               : SmartLifecycle#start method
b.b.e.s.SpringContextListener            : context refreshed
b.b.e.s.SpringContextListener            : context closed
b.b.e.s.TestSmartLifecycle               : SmartLifecycle#isRunning method
b.b.e.s.TestSmartLifecycle               : SmartLifecycle#stop method
b.b.e.springlifecycle.TestLifecycle      : Lifecycle#isRunning method
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : @PreDestroy annotated method
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : TestBean#destroy() method
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : destroyMethod registered method
b.b.e.s.TestBeanPostProcessor            : @PreDestroy annotated BeanPostProcessor method

By default, the project does not call the ApplicationContext#start and ApplicationContext#stop methods.

To see how the lifecycle changes in this case, you can run:

mvnw spring-boot:run -D spring-boot.run.arguments=--triggerStartAndStopContext=true

The console output:

b.b.e.s.TestBeanFactoryPostProcessor     : BeanFactoryPostProcessor constructor
b.b.e.s.TestBeanFactoryPostProcessor     : BeanFactoryPostProcessor#postProcessBeanFactory method
b.b.e.s.TestBeanPostProcessor            : BeanPostProcessor constructor
b.b.e.s.TestBeanPostProcessor            : @PostConstruct annotated BeanPostProcessor method

b.b.e.springlifecycle.TestLifecycle      : Lifecycle#isRunning method
b.b.e.springlifecycle.TestLifecycle      : Lifecycle#stop method

b.b.e.springlifecycle.TestLifecycle      : Lifecycle#isRunning method
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : @PreDestroy annotated method
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : TestBean#destroy() method
b.b.example.springlifecycle.TestBean     : destroyMethod registered method
b.b.e.s.TestBeanPostProcessor            : @PreDestroy annotated BeanPostProcessor method

If you want to take a closer look at how callback methods are called, then you should run:

mvnw spring-boot:run -D spring-boot.run.arguments=--logging.level.by.babanin.example.springlifecycle=TRACE

The console outputs the log with stacktrace of method call. For example:

b.b.e.s.TestBeanFactoryPostProcessor     : BeanFactoryPostProcessor constructor
