Known Indirect Subclasses

AbstractBeanDefinition, AbstractComponentDefinition, AdvisorComponentDefinition, AliasDefinition, AnnotatedBeanDefinition, AnnotatedGenericBeanDefinition, AspectComponentDefinition, AutowireCandidateQualifier, BeanComponentDefinition, BeanDefinition, BeanDefinitionHolder, BeanMetadataAttribute, BeanMetadataAttributeAccessor, BeanReference, ChildBeanDefinition, and 22 others.

AbstractBeanDefinition	Base class for concrete, full-fledged `BeanDefinition` classes, factoring out common properties of `RootBeanDefinition` and `ChildBeanDefinition`.
AbstractComponentDefinition	Base implementation of `ComponentDefinition` that provides a basic implementation of `getDescription()` which delegates to `getName()`.
AdvisorComponentDefinition	`ComponentDefinition` that bridges the gap between the advisor bean definition configured by the `<aop:advisor>` tag and the component definition infrastructure.
AliasDefinition	Representation of an alias that has been registered during the parsing process.
AnnotatedBeanDefinition	Extended `BeanDefinition` interface that exposes `AnnotationMetadata` about its bean class - without requiring the class to be loaded yet.
AnnotatedGenericBeanDefinition	Extension of the `GenericBeanDefinition` class, adding support for annotation metadata exposed through the `AnnotatedBeanDefinition` interface.
AspectComponentDefinition	`ComponentDefinition` that holds an aspect definition, including its nested pointcuts.
AutowireCandidateQualifier	Qualifier for resolving autowire candidates.
BeanComponentDefinition	ComponentDefinition based on a standard BeanDefinition, exposing the given bean definition as well as inner bean definitions and bean references for the given bean.
BeanDefinition	A BeanDefinition describes a bean instance, which has property values, constructor argument values, and further information supplied by concrete implementations.
BeanDefinitionHolder	Holder for a BeanDefinition with name and aliases.
BeanMetadataAttribute	Holder for a key-value style attribute that is part of a bean definition.
BeanMetadataAttributeAccessor	Extension of `AttributeAccessorSupport`, holding attributes as `BeanMetadataAttribute` objects in order to keep track of the definition source.
BeanReference	Interface that exposes a reference to a bean name in an abstract fashion.
ChildBeanDefinition	Bean definition for beans which inherit settings from their parent.
ComponentDefinition	Interface that describes the logical view of a set of `BeanDefinitions` and `BeanReferences` as presented in some configuration context.
CompositeComponentDefinition	`ComponentDefinition` implementation that holds one or more nested `ComponentDefinition` instances, aggregating them into a named group of components.
ConstructorArgumentValues.ValueHolder	Holder for a constructor argument value, with an optional type attribute indicating the target type of the actual constructor argument.
DefaultsDefinition	Marker interface for a defaults definition, extending BeanMetadataElement to inherit source exposure.
DocumentDefaultsDefinition	Simple JavaBean that holds the defaults specified at the `<beans>` level in a standard Spring XML bean definition document: `default-lazy-init`, `default-autowire`, etc.
GenericBeanDefinition	GenericBeanDefinition is a one-stop shop for standard bean definition purposes.
ImportDefinition	Representation of an import that has been processed during the parsing process.
LookupOverride	Represents an override of a method that looks up an object in the same IoC context.
ManagedArray	Tag collection class used to hold managed array elements, which may include runtime bean references (to be resolved into bean objects).
ManagedList<E>	Tag collection class used to hold managed List elements, which may include runtime bean references (to be resolved into bean objects).
ManagedMap<K, V>	Tag collection class used to hold managed Map values, which may include runtime bean references (to be resolved into bean objects).
ManagedProperties	Tag class which represents a Spring-managed Properties instance that supports merging of parent/child definitions.
ManagedSet<E>	Tag collection class used to hold managed Set values, which may include runtime bean references (to be resolved into bean objects).
MethodOverride	Object representing the override of a method on a managed object by the IoC container.
PointcutComponentDefinition	`ComponentDefinition` implementation that holds a pointcut definition.
PropertyValue	Object to hold information and value for an individual bean property.
ReplaceOverride	Extension of MethodOverride that represents an arbitrary override of a method by the IoC container.
RootBeanDefinition	A root bean definition represents the merged bean definition that backs a specific bean in a Spring BeanFactory at runtime.
RuntimeBeanNameReference	Immutable placeholder class used for a property value object when it's a reference to another bean name in the factory, to be resolved at runtime.
RuntimeBeanReference	Immutable placeholder class used for a property value object when it's a reference to another bean in the factory, to be resolved at runtime.
ScannedGenericBeanDefinition	Extension of the `GenericBeanDefinition` class, based on an ASM ClassReader, with support for annotation metadata exposed through the `AnnotatedBeanDefinition` interface.
TypedStringValue	Holder for a typed String value.
