Springs XmlBeanFactory is deprecated

I try to learn Spring. I am following this site http://www.roseindia.net/spring/spring3/spring-3-hello-world.shtml

I tried one example in that. I am using some what like below, but here it shows:

The type XmlBeanFactory is deprecated

What do I have to use as an alternative to this?

public class SpringHelloWorldTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        XmlBeanFactory beanFactory = new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource("SpringHelloWorld.xml"));

        Spring3HelloWorld myBean = (Spring3HelloWorld)beanFactory.getBean("Spring3HelloWorldBean");
        myBean.sayHello();
    }
}

ApplicationContext is a sub-interface of BeanFactory.You can use this way

public class SpringHelloWorldTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ApplicationContext context= new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("SpringHelloWorld.xml");
        Spring3HelloWorld myBean= (Spring3HelloWorld) context.getBean("Spring3HelloWorldBean");
        myBean.sayHello();
    }
}

Here is the substitute code,

public static void main(String[] args){
    ApplicationContext context=new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(new String[]{"SpringHelloWorld.xml"});
    BeanFactory factory=context;
    Spring3HelloWorld myBean=(Spring3HelloWorld)factory.getBean("Spring3HelloWorldBean");
    myBean.sayHello();
}

BeanDefinitionRegistry beanDefinitionRegistry = new DefaultListableBeanFactory();
XmlBeanDefinitionReader reader = new XmlBeanDefinitionReader(beanDefinitionRegistry);
reader.loadBeanDefinitions(new ClassPathResource("SPRING_CONFIGURATION_FILE"));

You can use the ClassPathXmlApplicationContext class.

New way to get beans context (without class casting):

BeanDefinitionRegistry beanFactory = new DefaultListableBeanFactory();
XmlBeanDefinitionReader reader = new XmlBeanDefinitionReader(beanFactory);
reader.loadBeanDefinitions(new ClassPathResource("beans.xml"));

When starting an apppication-wide context one should use

ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("application.xml");
