p 命名空間允許你使用 bean 元素的屬性而不是 <property/>子元素來描述 Bean 實例的屬性值。從 Spring2.0 開始，Spring 支持基于 xml Schema 的方式來簡化配置文件。beans 元素的結構定義在一個 XML Schema 文檔中。但是，p 命名空間沒有定義在 XSD 文件中，而是直接存在與 Spring 內核中。使用p 命名空間時，只需要在配置文件根元素beans 引入 xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"。

p 命名空間配置的示例：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"     xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"    xsi:schemaLocation="     http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">        <bean id="magicWand" class="com.huey.dream.bean.Weapon"        p:type="Magic Wand"        p:weightKg="9.5" />        <bean id="magician" class="com.huey.dream.bean.GameCharacter"        p:type="Magician"        p:level="10"        p:weapon-ref="magicWand" />    </beans>

上述的配置與如下的配置等價：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"     xsi:schemaLocation="     http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">    <bean id="magicWand" class="com.huey.dream.bean.Weapon">        <property name="type" value="Magic Wand" />        <property name="weightKg" value="9.5" />    </bean>        <bean id="magician" class="com.huey.dream.bean.GameCharacter">        <property name="type" value="Magician" />        <property name="level" value="10" />        <property name="weapon" ref="magicWand" />    </bean></beans>

c 命名空間 與 p 命名空間用法類似，不同是 p 命名空間作用于屬性注入，而 c 命名空間作用于構造注入。

p 命名空間配置的示例：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"     xmlns:c="http://www.springframework.org/schema/c"    xsi:schemaLocation="     http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">    <bean id="magicWand" class="com.huey.dream.bean.Weapon"        c:type="Magic Wand"        c:weightKg="9.5" />        <bean id="magician" class="com.huey.dream.bean.GameCharacter"        c:type="Magician"        c:level="10"        c:weapon-ref="magicWand" /></beans>

上述的配置與如下的配置等價：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"     xsi:schemaLocation="     http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">    <bean id="magicWand" class="com.huey.dream.bean.Weapon">        <constructor-arg name="type" value="Magic Wand" />        <constructor-arg name="weightKg" value="9.5" />    </bean>        <bean id="magician" class="com.huey.dream.bean.GameCharacter">        <constructor-arg name="type" value="Magician" />        <constructor-arg name="level" value="10" />        <constructor-arg name="weapon" ref="magicWand" />    </bean></beans>
