Method Detail

### afterPropertiesSet

    public final void afterPropertiesSet()
                                  throws IllegalArgumentException,
                                         BeanInitializationException

  Description copied from interface: `InitializingBean`
  Invoked by a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied (and satisfied BeanFactoryAware and ApplicationContextAware).

  This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

  Specified by:
    `afterPropertiesSet` in interface `InitializingBean`
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException`
    `BeanInitializationException`

### checkDaoConfig

    protected abstract void checkDaoConfig()
                                    throws IllegalArgumentException

  Abstract subclasses must override this to check their configuration.

  Implementors should be marked as `final`

  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - in case of illegal configuration

### initDao

    protected void initDao()
                    throws Exception

  Concrete subclasses can override this for custom initialization behavior. Gets called after population of this instance's bean properties.

  Throws:
    `Exception` - if DAO initialization fails (will be rethrown as a BeanInitializationException)

    `BeanInitializationException`
