Implementing a Spring container using XML
Let us begin with the creation of the Spring Web Project using the Maven plugin of our STS Eclipse 8.3. This web project will be implementing our first Spring 5.0 container using the XML-based technique. This is the most conventional but robust way of creating a Spring container.
The container is where the objects are created, managed, wired together with their dependencies, and monitored from their initialization up to their destruction. This recipe will mainly highlight how to create an XML-based Spring container.
Getting started
Create a Maven project ready for development using the STS Eclipse 8.3. Be sure you have installed the correct JRE. Let us name the project ch02-xml

How to do it...
After creating the project, certain Maven errors will be encountered just like in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Spring. Bug-fix the Maven issues in our ch02-xml
project in order to use the XML-based Spring 5.0 container by performing the following steps:
