While the typical response to the slow start-up time is "your application only loads once so it's not a big deal", that's really only applicable in a production environment. As a developer, my application is loaded constantly throughout the day, so it is a big deal to me. Rather than just complain about it, I decided to see if I could speed things up. Which is why I wrote my own ColdSpring Lite bean factory.
I took an approach similar to what Facebook did when they wrote HipHop: sacrifice some rarely used features in exchange for improved performance. With that in mind, I had to decide which features were necessary and which features I could live without.
Here's what it supports:
- property injection
- value, list, and map definitions
- dynamic properties (i.e. ${property})
- factory and bean post processors
- autowiring
Here's what it doesn't support:
- constructor arguments
- complex nested bean injection (arrays of bean ref's)
- bean aliases
- parent beans
- non-singleton beans
- aop proxies
- remote proxies
- factory beans
- xml imports
Will this limited feature set work for every project? Of course not. Will it be sufficient enough for most projects? Maybe.
Compared to ColdSpring's DefaultXmlBeanFactory, I cut the bean factory load time almost in half, which is pretty good if you ask me. Granted the load time is pretty dependent on the size of your application, so the performance improvements could vary between projects.
Here's the code if anyone is interested. I've also included a slightly modified version inside ColdMVC as well.
