org.springframework.beans.factory.support

Classes supporting the org.springframework.beans.factory package. Contains abstract base classes for BeanFactory implementations.

Interfaces

AutowireCandidateResolver	Strategy interface for determining whether a specific bean definition qualifies as an autowire candidate for a specific dependency.
BeanDefinitionReader	Simple interface for bean definition readers.
BeanDefinitionRegistry	Interface for registries that hold bean definitions, for example RootBeanDefinition and ChildBeanDefinition instances.
BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor	Extension to the standard `BeanFactoryPostProcessor` SPI, allowing for the registration of further bean definitions before regular BeanFactoryPostProcessor detection kicks in.
BeanNameGenerator	Strategy interface for generating bean names for bean definitions.
InstantiationStrategy	Interface responsible for creating instances corresponding to a root bean definition.
MergedBeanDefinitionPostProcessor	Post-processor callback interface for merged bean definitions at runtime.
MethodReplacer	Interface to be implemented by classes that can reimplement any method on an IoC-managed object: the Method Injection form of Dependency Injection.
SecurityContextProvider	Provider of the security context of the code running inside the bean factory.

Classes

AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory	Abstract bean factory superclass that implements default bean creation, with the full capabilities specified by the `RootBeanDefinition` class.
AbstractBeanDefinition	Base class for concrete, full-fledged `BeanDefinition` classes, factoring out common properties of `RootBeanDefinition` and `ChildBeanDefinition`.
AbstractBeanDefinitionReader	Abstract base class for bean definition readers which implement the `BeanDefinitionReader` interface.
AbstractBeanFactory	Abstract base class for `BeanFactory` implementations, providing the full capabilities of the `ConfigurableBeanFactory` SPI.
AutowireCandidateQualifier	Qualifier for resolving autowire candidates.
BeanDefinitionBuilder	Programmatic means of constructing `BeanDefinitions` using the builder pattern.
BeanDefinitionDefaults	A simple holder for `BeanDefinition` property defaults.
BeanDefinitionReaderUtils	Utility methods that are useful for bean definition reader implementations.
CglibSubclassingInstantiationStrategy	Default object instantiation strategy for use in BeanFactories.
ChildBeanDefinition	Bean definition for beans which inherit settings from their parent.
DefaultBeanNameGenerator	Default implementation of the `BeanNameGenerator` interface, delegating to `generateBeanName(BeanDefinition, BeanDefinitionRegistry)`.
DefaultListableBeanFactory	Default implementation of the `ListableBeanFactory` and `BeanDefinitionRegistry` interfaces: a full-fledged bean factory based on bean definition objects.
DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry	Generic registry for shared bean instances, implementing the `SingletonBeanRegistry`.
FactoryBeanRegistrySupport	Support base class for singleton registries which need to handle `FactoryBean` instances, integrated with `DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry`'s singleton management.
GenericBeanDefinition	GenericBeanDefinition is a one-stop shop for standard bean definition purposes.
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.
MethodOverrides	Set of method overrides, determining which, if any, methods on a managed object the Spring IoC container will override at runtime.
PropertiesBeanDefinitionReader	Bean definition reader for a simple properties format.
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.
SimpleAutowireCandidateResolver	`AutowireCandidateResolver` implementation to use when no annotation support is available.
SimpleBeanDefinitionRegistry	Simple implementation of the `BeanDefinitionRegistry` interface.
SimpleInstantiationStrategy	Simple object instantiation strategy for use in a BeanFactory.
SimpleSecurityContextProvider	Simple `SecurityContextProvider` implementation.
StaticListableBeanFactory	Static `BeanFactory` implementation which allows to register existing singleton instances programmatically.

Exceptions

BeanDefinitionValidationException Exception thrown when the validation of a bean definition failed.
