org.springframework.context.annotation (Spring Framework 4.3.14.RELEASE API)

Interface Summary
Interface	Description
AnnotationConfigRegistry	Common interface for annotation config application contexts, defining `AnnotationConfigRegistry.register(java.lang.Class<?>...)` and `AnnotationConfigRegistry.scan(java.lang.String...)` methods.
Condition	A single `condition` that must be matched in order for a component to be registered.
ConditionContext	Context information for use by `Condition`s.
ConfigurationCondition	A `Condition` that offers more fine-grained control when used with `@Configuration`.
DeferredImportSelector	A variation of `ImportSelector` that runs after all `@Configuration` beans have been processed.
ImportAware	Interface to be implemented by any @`Configuration` class that wishes to be injected with the `AnnotationMetadata` of the @`Configuration` class that imported it.
ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar	Interface to be implemented by types that register additional bean definitions when processing @`Configuration` classes.
ImportSelector	Interface to be implemented by types that determine which @`Configuration` class(es) should be imported based on a given selection criteria, usually one or more annotation attributes.
LoadTimeWeavingConfigurer	Interface to be implemented by `@Configuration` classes annotated with `@EnableLoadTimeWeaving` that wish to customize the `LoadTimeWeaver` instance to be used.
ScopeMetadataResolver	Strategy interface for resolving the scope of bean definitions.

Class Summary
Class	Description
AdviceModeImportSelector<A extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>	Convenient base class for `ImportSelector` implementations that select imports based on an `AdviceMode` value from an annotation (such as the `@Enable*` annotations).
AnnotatedBeanDefinitionReader	Convenient adapter for programmatic registration of annotated bean classes.
AnnotationBeanNameGenerator	`BeanNameGenerator` implementation for bean classes annotated with the `@Component` annotation or with another annotation that is itself annotated with `@Component` as a meta-annotation.
AnnotationConfigApplicationContext	Standalone application context, accepting annotated classes as input - in particular `@Configuration`-annotated classes, but also plain `@Component` types and JSR-330 compliant classes using `javax.inject` annotations.
AnnotationConfigBeanDefinitionParser	Parser for the <context:annotation-config/> element.
AnnotationConfigUtils	Utility class that allows for convenient registration of common `BeanPostProcessor` and `BeanFactoryPostProcessor` definitions for annotation-based configuration.
AnnotationScopeMetadataResolver	A `ScopeMetadataResolver` implementation that by default checks for the presence of Spring's `@Scope` annotation on the bean class.
AutoProxyRegistrar	Registers an auto proxy creator against the current `BeanDefinitionRegistry` as appropriate based on an `@Enable*` annotation having `mode` and `proxyTargetClass` attributes set to the correct values.
ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner	A bean definition scanner that detects bean candidates on the classpath, registering corresponding bean definitions with a given registry (`BeanFactory` or `ApplicationContext`).
ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider	A component provider that scans the classpath from a base package.
CommonAnnotationBeanPostProcessor	`BeanPostProcessor` implementation that supports common Java annotations out of the box, in particular the JSR-250 annotations in the `javax.annotation` package.
ComponentScanBeanDefinitionParser	Parser for the `<context:component-scan/>` element.
ConfigurationClassPostProcessor	`BeanFactoryPostProcessor` used for bootstrapping processing of `@Configuration` classes.
ContextAnnotationAutowireCandidateResolver	Complete implementation of the `AutowireCandidateResolver` strategy interface, providing support for qualifier annotations as well as for lazy resolution driven by the `Lazy` annotation in the `context.annotation` package.
Jsr330ScopeMetadataResolver	Simple `ScopeMetadataResolver` implementation that follows JSR-330 scoping rules: defaulting to prototype scope unless `Singleton` is present.
LoadTimeWeavingConfiguration	`@Configuration` class that registers a `LoadTimeWeaver` bean.
MBeanExportConfiguration	`@Configuration` class that registers a `AnnotationMBeanExporter` bean.
ScannedGenericBeanDefinition	Extension of the `GenericBeanDefinition` class, based on an ASM ClassReader, with support for annotation metadata exposed through the `AnnotatedBeanDefinition` interface.
ScopeMetadata	Describes scope characteristics for a Spring-managed bean including the scope name and the scoped-proxy behavior.

Enum Summary
Enum	Description
AdviceMode	Enumeration used to determine whether JDK proxy-based or AspectJ weaving-based advice should be applied.
ConfigurationCondition.ConfigurationPhase	The various configuration phases where the condition could be evaluated.
EnableLoadTimeWeaving.AspectJWeaving
FilterType	Enumeration of the type filters that may be used in conjunction with `@ComponentScan`.
MBeanExportConfiguration.SpecificPlatform
ScopedProxyMode	Enumerates the various scoped-proxy options.

Annotation Types Summary
Annotation Type	Description
Bean	Indicates that a method produces a bean to be managed by the Spring container.
ComponentScan	Configures component scanning directives for use with @`Configuration` classes.
ComponentScan.Filter	Declares the type filter to be used as an include filter or exclude filter.
ComponentScans	Container annotation that aggregates several `ComponentScan` annotations.
Conditional	Indicates that a component is only eligible for registration when all specified conditions match.
Configuration	Indicates that a class declares one or more `@Bean` methods and may be processed by the Spring container to generate bean definitions and service requests for those beans at runtime, for example: @Configuration public class AppConfig { @Bean public MyBean myBean() { // instantiate, configure and return bean ...
DependsOn	Beans on which the current bean depends.
Description	Adds a textual description to bean definitions derived from `Component` or `Bean`.
EnableAspectJAutoProxy	Enables support for handling components marked with AspectJ's `@Aspect` annotation, similar to functionality found in Spring's `<aop:aspectj-autoproxy>` XML element.
EnableLoadTimeWeaving	Activates a Spring `LoadTimeWeaver` for this application context, available as a bean with the name "loadTimeWeaver", similar to the `<context:load-time-weaver>` element in Spring XML.
EnableMBeanExport	Enables default exporting of all standard `MBean`s from the Spring context, as well as well all `@ManagedResource` annotated beans.
Import	Indicates one or more `@Configuration` classes to import.
ImportResource	Indicates one or more resources containing bean definitions to import.
Lazy	Indicates whether a bean is to be lazily initialized.
Primary	Indicates that a bean should be given preference when multiple candidates are qualified to autowire a single-valued dependency.
Profile	Indicates that a component is eligible for registration when one or more specified profiles are active.
PropertySource	Annotation providing a convenient and declarative mechanism for adding a `PropertySource` to Spring's `Environment`.
PropertySources	Container annotation that aggregates several `PropertySource` annotations.
Role	Indicates the 'role' hint for a given bean.
Scope	When used as a type-level annotation in conjunction with `@Component`, `@Scope` indicates the name of a scope to use for instances of the annotated type.

Package org.springframework.context.annotation Description

Annotation support for the Application Context, including JSR-250 "common" annotations, component-scanning, and Java-based metadata for creating Spring-managed objects.
