Class AbstractBeanFactory

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory
All Implemented Interfaces:
BeanFactory, ConfigurableBeanFactory, HierarchicalBeanFactory
Direct Known Subclasses:
AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory

public abstract class AbstractBeanFactory
extends Object
implements ConfigurableBeanFactory

Abstract base class for BeanFactory implementations, providing the full capabilities of the ConfigurableBeanFactory SPI. Does not assume a listable bean factory: can therefore also be used as base class for bean factory implementations which obtain bean definitions from some backend resource (where bean definition access is an expensive operation).

This class provides singleton/prototype determination, singleton cache, FactoryBean handling, aliases, bean definition merging for child bean definitions, and bean destruction (DisposableBean interface, custom destroy methods). Furthermore, it can manage a bean factory hierarchy (delegating to the parent in case of an unknown bean), through implementing the HierarchicalBeanFactory interface.

The main template methods to be implemented by subclasses are getBeanDefinition(java.lang.String) and createBean(java.lang.String, org.springframework.beans.factory.support.RootBeanDefinition, java.lang.Object[]), retrieving a bean definition for a given bean name and creating a bean instance for a given bean definition, respectively. Default implementations of those operations can be found in DefaultListableBeanFactory and AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.

Constructor Detail

AbstractBeanFactory

public AbstractBeanFactory()
Create a new AbstractBeanFactory.


AbstractBeanFactory

public AbstractBeanFactory(BeanFactory parentBeanFactory)
Create a new AbstractBeanFactory with the given parent.

Parameters:
parentBeanFactory - parent bean factory, or null if none
See Also:
getBean(java.lang.String)
Method Detail

getBean

public Object getBean(String name)
               throws BeansException
Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
Return an instance, which may be shared or independent, of the specified bean.

This method allows a Spring BeanFactory to be used as a replacement for the Singleton or Prototype design pattern. Callers may retain references to returned objects in the case of Singleton beans.

Translates aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name. Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.

Specified by:
getBean in interface BeanFactory
Parameters:
name - the name of the bean to retrieve
Returns:
an instance of the bean
Throws:
NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no bean definition with the specified name
BeansException - if the bean could not be obtained

getBean

public Object getBean(String name,
                      Class requiredType)
               throws BeansException
Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
Return an instance, which may be shared or independent, of the specified bean.

Behaves the same as BeanFactory.getBean(String), but provides a measure of type safety by throwing a BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException if the bean is not of the required type. This means that ClassCastException can't be thrown on casting the result correctly, as can happen with BeanFactory.getBean(String).

Translates aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name. Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.

Specified by:
getBean in interface BeanFactory
Parameters:
name - the name of the bean to retrieve
requiredType - type the bean must match. Can be an interface or superclass of the actual class, or null for any match. For example, if the value is Object.class, this method will succeed whatever the class of the returned instance.
Returns:
an instance of the bean
Throws:
BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException - if the bean is not of the required type
NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there's no such bean definition
BeansException - if the bean could not be created

getBean

public Object getBean(String name,
                      Object[] args)
               throws BeansException
Return an instance, which may be shared or independent, of the specified bean.

Parameters:
name - the name of the bean to retrieve
args - arguments to use if creating a prototype using explicit arguments to a static factory method. It is invalid to use a non-null args value in any other case.
Returns:
an instance of the bean
Throws:
BeansException - if the bean could not be created

getBean

public Object getBean(String name,
                      Class requiredType,
                      Object[] args)
               throws BeansException
Return an instance, which may be shared or independent, of the specified bean.

Parameters:
name - the name of the bean to retrieve
requiredType - the required type of the bean to retrieve
args - arguments to use if creating a prototype using explicit arguments to a static factory method. It is invalid to use a non-null args value in any other case.
Returns:
an instance of the bean
Throws:
BeansException - if the bean could not be created

containsBean

whether a bean with the given name is defined

isSingleton

public boolean isSingleton(String name)
                    throws NoSuchBeanDefinitionException

registerAlias

public void registerAlias(String beanName,
                          String alias)
                   throws BeanDefinitionStoreException
Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
Given a bean name, create an alias. We typically use this method to support names that are illegal within XML ids (used for bean names).

Typically invoked during factory configuration, but can also be used for runtime registration of aliases. Therefore, a factory implementation should synchronize alias access.

Specified by:
registerAlias in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
Parameters:
beanName - name of the bean
alias - alias that will behave the same as the bean name
Throws:
BeanDefinitionStoreException

registerSingleton

public void registerSingleton(String beanName,
                              Object singletonObject)
                       throws BeanDefinitionStoreException
Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
Register the given existing object as singleton in the bean factory, under the given bean name.

The given instance is supposed to be fully initialized; the factory will not perform any initialization callbacks (in particular, it won't call InitializingBean's afterPropertiesSet method). The given instance will not receive any destruction callbacks (like DisposableBean's destroy method) either.

Register a bean definition instead of an existing instance if your bean is supposed to receive initialization and/or destruction callbacks.

Typically invoked during factory configuration, but can also be used for runtime registration of singletons. Therefore, a factory implementation should synchronize singleton access; it will have to do this anyway if it supports lazy initialization of singletons.

Specified by:
registerSingleton in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
Parameters:
beanName - name of the bean
singletonObject - the existing object
Throws:
BeanDefinitionStoreException
See Also:
InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet(), DisposableBean.destroy(), DefaultListableBeanFactory.registerBeanDefinition(java.lang.String, org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanDefinition)

addSingleton

protected void addSingleton(String beanName,
                            Object singletonObject)
Add the given singleton object to the singleton cache of this factory.

To be called for eager registration of singletons, e.g. to be able to resolve circular references.

Parameters:
beanName - the name of the bean
singletonObject - the singleton object

removeSingleton

protected void removeSingleton(String beanName)
Remove the bean with the given name from the singleton cache of this factory.

To be able to clean up eager registration of a singleton if creation failed.

Parameters:
beanName - the name of the bean

getSingletonCount

public int getSingletonCount()
Return the number of beans in the singleton cache.

Does not consider any hierarchy this factory may participate in.


getSingletonNames

public String[] getSingletonNames()
Return the names of beans in the singleton cache.

Does not consider any hierarchy this factory may participate in.


isSingletonCurrentlyInCreation

protected boolean isSingletonCurrentlyInCreation(String beanName)
Return whether the specified singleton is currently in creation

Parameters:
beanName - the name of the bean

containsSingleton

public boolean containsSingleton(String beanName)
Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
Check if this bean factory contains a singleton instance with the given name. Only checks already instantiated singletons; does not return true for singleton bean definitions that have not been instantiated yet.

The main purpose of this method is to check manually registered singletons (see registerSingleton). Can also be used to check whether a singleton defined by a bean definition has already been created.

To check whether a bean factory contains a bean definition with a given name, use ListableBeanFactory's containsBeanDefinition. Analogous to the present method, this checks whether the factory contains a registered bean definition. Note that both of those methods check for the actual given bean name, ignoring aliases.

Use BeanFactory's containsBean for general checks whether the factory knows about a bean with a given name (whether manually registed singleton instance or created by bean definition), also checking ancestor factories. To check the local factory only, use HierarchicalBeanFactory's containsLocalBean. Both of those methods translate aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name.

Specified by:
containsSingleton in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
Parameters:
beanName - the name of the bean to look for
Returns:
if this bean factory contains a singleton instance with the given name
See Also:
ConfigurableBeanFactory.registerSingleton(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object), BeanFactory.containsBean(java.lang.String), HierarchicalBeanFactory.containsLocalBean(java.lang.String), ListableBeanFactory.containsBeanDefinition(java.lang.String)

Specified by:
destroySingletons in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory

isFactoryDereference

protected void destroyBean(String beanName,
                           Object bean)
Destroy the given bean. Must destroy beans that depend on the given bean before the bean itself. Should not throw any exceptions.

Parameters:
beanName - name of the bean
bean - the bean instance to destroy

invokeCustomDestroyMethod

protected void invokeCustomDestroyMethod(String beanName,
                                         Object bean,
                                         String destroyMethodName,
                                         boolean enforceDestroyMethod)
Invoke the specified custom destroy method on the given bean.

This implementation invokes a no-arg method if found, else checking for a method with a single boolean argument (passing in "true", assuming a "force" parameter), else logging an error.

Can be overridden in subclasses for custom resolution of destroy methods with arguments.

Parameters:
beanName - the bean has in the factory. Used for debug output.
bean - new bean instance we may need to notify of destruction
destroyMethodName - the name of the custom destroy method
enforceDestroyMethod - indicates whether the defined destroy method needs to exist

containsBeanDefinition

protected abstract boolean containsBeanDefinition(String beanName)
Check if this bean factory contains a bean definition with the given name. Does not consider any hierarchy this factory may participate in. Invoked by containsBean when no cached singleton instance is found.

Depending on the nature of the concrete bean factory implementation, this operation might be expensive (for example, because of directory lookups in external registries). However, for listable bean factories, this usually just amounts to a local hash lookup: The operation is therefore part of the public interface there. The same implementation can serve for both this template method and the public interface method in that case.

Parameters:
beanName - the name of the bean to look for
Returns:
if this bean factory contains a bean definition with the given name

containsBean(java.lang.String), ListableBeanFactory.containsBeanDefinition(java.lang.String)

getBeanDefinition

protected abstract BeanDefinition getBeanDefinition(String beanName)
                                             throws BeansException
Return the bean definition for the given bean name. Subclasses should normally implement caching, as this method is invoked by this class every time bean definition metadata is needed.

Parameters:
beanName - the name of the bean to find a definition for
Returns:
the BeanDefinition for this prototype name (never null)
Throws:
NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if the bean definition cannot be resolved
BeansException - in case of errors

createBean

protected abstract Object createBean(String beanName,
                                     RootBeanDefinition mergedBeanDefinition,
                                     Object[] args)
                              throws BeanCreationException
Create a bean instance for the given bean definition. The bean definition will already have been merged with the parent definition in case of a child definition.

All the other methods in this class invoke this method, although beans may be cached after being instantiated by this method. All bean instantiation within this class is performed by this method.

Parameters:
beanName - the name of the bean
mergedBeanDefinition - the bean definition for the bean
args - arguments to use if creating a prototype using explicit arguments to a static factory method. This parameter must be null except in this case.
Returns:
a new instance of the bean
Throws:
BeanCreationException - if the bean could not be created

getTypeForFactoryMethod

protected Class getTypeForFactoryMethod(String beanName,
                                        RootBeanDefinition mergedBeanDefinition)
Determine the bean type for the given bean definition, as far as possible.

Default implementation returns null to indicate that the type cannot be determined. Subclasses are encouraged to try to determine the actual return type here, matching their strategy of resolving factory methods in the createBean implementation.

Parameters:
beanName - name of the bean
mergedBeanDefinition - the bean definition for the bean
Returns:
the type for the bean if determinable, or null else
