Interface ConfigurableListableBeanFactory

All Superinterfaces:
AutowireCapableBeanFactory, BeanFactory, ConfigurableBeanFactory, HierarchicalBeanFactory, ListableBeanFactory
All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultListableBeanFactory, XmlBeanFactory

public interface ConfigurableListableBeanFactory
extends ListableBeanFactory, AutowireCapableBeanFactory, ConfigurableBeanFactory

Configuration interface to be implemented by most listable bean factories. In addition to ConfigurableBeanFactory, it provides facilities to analyze and modify bean definitions, and to pre-instantiate singletons.

This subinterface of BeanFactory is not meant to be used in normal application code: Stick to BeanFactory or ListableBeanFactory for typical use cases. This interface is just meant to allow for framework-internal plug'n'play even when needing access to bean factory configuration methods.

Method Detail

ignoreDependencyType

void ignoreDependencyType(Class type)
Ignore the given dependency type for autowiring: for example, String. Default is none.


ignoreDependencyInterface

void ignoreDependencyInterface(Class ifc)
Ignore the given dependency interface for autowiring.

This will typically be used by application contexts to register dependencies that are resolved in other ways, like BeanFactory through BeanFactoryAware or ApplicationContext through ApplicationContextAware.

By default, only the BeanFactoryAware interface is ignored. For further types to ignore, invoke this method for each type.

See Also:
BeanFactoryAware, ApplicationContextAware

getBeanDefinition

BeanDefinition getBeanDefinition(String beanName)
                                 throws NoSuchBeanDefinitionException
Return the registered BeanDefinition for the given bean, allowing access to its property values and constructor argument value (which can be modified during bean factory post-processing).

A returned BeanDefinition object should not be a copy but the original definition object as registered in the factory. This means that it should be castable to a more specific implementation type, if necessary.

Parameters:
beanName - name of the bean
Returns:
the registered BeanDefinition
Throws:
NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no bean with the given name

preInstantiateSingletons

void preInstantiateSingletons()
                              throws BeansException
Ensure that all non-lazy-init singletons are instantiated, also considering FactoryBeans. Typically invoked at the end of factory setup, if desired.

As this is a startup method, it should destroy already created singletons if it fails, to avoid dangling resources. In other words, after invocation of that method, either all or no singletons at all should be instantiated.

Throws:
BeansException - if one of the singleton beans could not be created
