IOC:(Inversion of Control)

         Spring IOC Container
         BeanFactory
         Spring xml based configuration using elements

1) Bean

a) Instantiation using a constructor

b) Instantiation using a static factory method

c) Instantiation using an instance factory method

d) Injecting  dependencies  using Setter Injection and Constructor     Injection.

e) making use of idref,local,property,Inner beans,props, list,set,     map, Collection merging,null,depends-on,Lazily-instantiating     beans,Life cycle methods

2) Import

3) Aliasing beans

4) Bean Scopes

              a) singleton
              b) protoype
              c) request
              d) session

5) Autowiring collaborators

              a) no
              b) byName
              c) byType
              d) constructor
              e) autodetect

Shutting down the Spring IoC container gracefully in non-web applications.
