Problem calling destroy method

[Hemant Thard]

Hi Guys,

i am having difficulty understanding why destroy method is not called in my java standalone application.


i have tried using both : defining destroy-method property in my bean element and using DisposableBean bean. But this doesn't seems to work

can any one provide an explanation for this behavior.

Regards,
Hemant

i am having difficulty understanding why destroy method is not called

It means that implementation is holding some resources.
close the application context.

Example:
package com.amex.example1;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
public class Test {
	private String message;
	public void setMessage(String message) {
		this.message = message;
	}	
	public void init(){
	System.out.println("init()"+message);	
	}
	public void destroy()
	{
		System.out.println("Calling the destroy method");
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		ConfigurableApplicationContext context= new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml");
Test test = (Test)context.getBean("test");
context.close();
}
}
<bean id="test" class="com.amex.example1.Test" init-method="init" destroy-method="destroy">
<property name="message" value="Welcome to spring lifecycle"/>
</bean>
