USE CASE 1

Understand how Spring's dependency injection container creates and wires objects internally, step by step.

USE CASE 2

Learn how Spring AOP adds cross-cutting behavior like logging across many methods without modifying original code.

USE CASE 3

Study Spring MVC's request handling flow to debug unexpected behavior in a web application.

USE CASE 4

In plain English

This repository is a personal collection of reading notes, written in Chinese, about the internal workings of Spring. Spring is one of the most widely used frameworks for building Java applications, particularly the back-end systems that power business software and websites. The author read through Spring's own source code and wrote up notes explaining what they found and how the different parts work. The README is very short. It is just a table of contents: a list of links to separate note files, each covering a different part of Spring. There is no installation guide, no code examples, and no description of the notes' depth or intended audience. This is a reading and learning resource, not a tool you install or run. The note files are organized by Spring component. They cover spring-core, which is the foundation of the framework, spring-aop, which deals with a technique for adding cross-cutting behavior like logging across many parts of a program without repeating code, spring-context, which manages how the framework creates and connects objects, spring-task, for scheduling automated work, spring-transaction, which keeps database changes consistent and safe, and spring-mvc, which is the part used to handle web requests and build web services. There is also a note on Guava Cache, a caching library from Google that is separate from Spring. Because the README provides only a title and a list of links, the actual content lives in those linked note files. Someone trying to understand how Spring works internally, or why it behaves the way it does, would use this as a guided tour through the source written by someone who has already worked through it.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Explain how Spring's ApplicationContext initializes beans: trace the path from an annotation config class to a fully wired object in memory.
Prompt 2
Walk me through the lifecycle of a method annotated with @Transactional in Spring, from the initial call through proxy interception to database commit.
Prompt 3
How does Spring MVC's DispatcherServlet route an incoming HTTP request to the correct controller method? Trace the full call path.
Prompt 4
Explain how Spring AOP creates proxy objects at startup and intercepts method calls at runtime without changing the original class.
