Spring HelloWorld Example in Java Annotations and Autowiring [Tutorial]

Spring framework has gone a couple of releases since I last share the Spring hello world example with XML configuration.

So no more XML files to specify bean dependencies. It's a simple program that shows how you can use the Spring framework to create Services that are loosely coupled. The example will show you the basic concept of dependency injection by creating a simple Java application that greets the user.
