ProviderCreatingFactoryBean

extends AbstractFactoryBean<T>

java.lang.Object
↳	org.springframework.beans.factory.config.AbstractFactoryBean<T>
	↳	org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ProviderCreatingFactoryBean

Class Overview

A FactoryBean implementation that returns a value which is a JSR-330 javax.inject.Provider that in turn returns a bean sourced from a BeanFactory.

This is basically a JSR-330 compliant variant of Spring's good old ObjectFactoryCreatingFactoryBean. It can be used for traditional external dependency injection configuration that targets a property or constructor argument of type javax.inject.Provider, as an alternative to JSR-330's @Inject annotation-driven approach.

Inherited Methods

From class org.springframework.beans.factory.config.AbstractFactoryBean

void	afterPropertiesSet() Eagerly create the singleton instance, if necessary.
abstract T	createInstance() Template method that subclasses must override to construct the object returned by this factory.
void	destroy() Destroy the singleton instance, if any.
void	destroyInstance(T instance) Callback for destroying a singleton instance.
BeanFactory	getBeanFactory() Return the BeanFactory that this bean runs in.
TypeConverter	getBeanTypeConverter() Obtain a bean type converter from the BeanFactory that this bean runs in.
Class[]	getEarlySingletonInterfaces() Return an array of interfaces that a singleton object exposed by this FactoryBean is supposed to implement, for use with an 'early singleton proxy' that will be exposed in case of a circular reference.
final T	getObject() Expose the singleton instance or create a new prototype instance.
abstract Class<?>	getObjectType() This abstract method declaration mirrors the method in the FactoryBean interface, for a consistent offering of abstract template methods.
boolean	isSingleton() Is the object managed by this factory a singleton? That is, will `getObject()` always return the same object (a reference that can be cached)? NOTE: If a FactoryBean indicates to hold a singleton object, the object returned from `getObject()` might get cached by the owning BeanFactory.
void	setBeanClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader) Callback that supplies the bean `class loader` to a bean instance.
void	setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory) Callback that supplies the owning factory to a bean instance.
void	setSingleton(boolean singleton) Set if a singleton should be created, or a new object on each request otherwise.

Public Constructors

public ProviderCreatingFactoryBean ()

Also: SpringBeans

Public Methods

public void afterPropertiesSet ()

Also: SpringBeans

Eagerly create the singleton instance, if necessary.

Throws

Exception

public Class getObjectType ()

Also: SpringBeans

This abstract method declaration mirrors the method in the FactoryBean interface, for a consistent offering of abstract template methods.

Returns

the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known at the time of the call

public void setTargetBeanName (String targetBeanName)

Also: SpringBeans

Set the name of the target bean.

The target does not have to be a non-singleton bean, but realisticially always will be (because if the target bean were a singleton, then said singleton bean could simply be injected straight into the dependent object, thus obviating the need for the extra level of indirection afforded by this factory approach).

Protected Methods

protected Provider createInstance ()

Also: SpringBeans

Template method that subclasses must override to construct the object returned by this factory.
Invoked on initialization of this FactoryBean in case of a singleton; else, on each getObject() call.

Returns

the object returned by this factory
