Problem Description:
A very simple spring project that uses static factory methods to configure bean instances. The directory structure of the project is as follows:

code show as below:
Car.java
1 package com.tt.spring.beans.factory;
2
3 public class Car {
4
5 private String brand;
6 private double price;
7
8 public String getBrand() {
9 return brand;
10 }
11 public void setBrand(String brand) {
12 this.brand = brand;
13 }
14 public double getPrice() {
15 return price;
16 }
17 public void setPrice(double price) {
18 this.price = price;
19 }
20
21 public Car(){
22 System.out.println("Car's Constructor...");
23 }
24
25
26
27 public Car(String brand, double price) {
28 super();
29 this.brand = brand;
30 this.price = price;
31 }
32
33 @Override
34 public String toString() {
35 return "Car [brand=" + brand + ", price=" + price + "]";
36 }
37
38
39 }

12 private static Map<String,Car> cars = new HashMap<String, Car> ();
13
14 static {
15 cars.put("Audi", new Car ("Audi",300000 ));
16 cars.put("Ford", new Car("Ford",40000 ));
17 }

19 // Static factory method
20 public static Car getCar(String name){
21 return cars.get(name);

Main.java:
1 package com.tt.spring.beans.factory;
2
3 import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
4 import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

6 public class Main {

10 ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans-factory.xml");
11
12 Car car1 = (Car) ctx.getBean("car1");
13 System.out.println(car1);
14 }
15 }
Run the Main.java program, the console error is as follows:
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from Object to Car
at com.tt.spring.beans.factory.Main.main(Main.java:12)
Cause Analysis:
First, you need to install jre 1.5.0 and above.
Second,
set your installed jre in eclipse’s’Window”Preference”Java’ and’Install JREs’.
Third, in eclipse’s’Window”Preference ” Java ‘in,
‘ Compiler ‘was set up’ Compiler compliance level ‘of 5.0 or more
(the key is the third step, the compatibility level)
problem solved:
Since the jdk version I installed is 1.8.0, the problem should be the Compiler compliance level.
Go to Window->Preference->Java->Compiler and find Compiler compliance level=1.5

Change the Compiler compliance level to 1.8:

Run the Main.java code again, it runs normally, and the console displays the following information:
