Abstract subclasses must override this to check their configuration.

Implementors should be marked as final if concrete subclasses are not supposed to override this template method themselves.

Throws:
/** * Abstract subclasses must override this to check their configuration. * <p>Implementors should be marked as {@code final} if concrete subclasses * are not supposed to override this template method themselves. * @throws IllegalArgumentException in case of illegal configuration */
protected abstract void checkDaoConfig() throws IllegalArgumentException;
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)
