Spring Framework

The Data Loader command-line interface is supported for Windows only.

Note

The Data Loader configuration files are based on the Spring Framework, which is an open-source, full-stack Java/J2EE application framework.

The Spring Framework allows you to use XML files to configure beans. Each bean represents an instance of an object; the parameters correspond to each object's setter methods. A typical bean has the following attributes:

id
Uniquely identifies the bean to XmlBeanFactory, which is the class that gets objects from an XML configuration file.
class
Specifies the implementation class for the bean instance.

For more information on the Spring Framework, see the official documentation and the support forums. Note that Salesforce cannot guarantee the availability or accuracy of external websites.
