Package org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation

Support package for annotation-driven bean configuration.

See: Description

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AnnotatedBeanDefinition	Extended BeanDefinition interface that exposes AnnotationMetadata about its bean class - without requiring the class to be loaded yet.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AnnotatedGenericBeanDefinition	Extension of the GenericBeanDefinition class, adding support for annotation metadata exposed through the AnnotatedBeanDefinition interface.
AnnotationBeanWiringInfoResolver	BeanWiringInfoResolver that uses the Configurable annotation to identify which classes need autowiring.
AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor	BeanPostProcessor implementation that autowires annotated fields, setter methods and arbitrary config methods.
BeanFactoryAnnotationUtils	Convenience methods performing bean lookups related to annotations, for example Spring's @Qualifier annotation.
CustomAutowireConfigurer	A BeanFactoryPostProcessor implementation that allows for convenient registration of custom autowire qualifier types.
InitDestroyAnnotationBeanPostProcessor	BeanPostProcessor implementation that invokes annotated init and destroy methods.
InjectionMetadata	Internal class for managing injection metadata.
InjectionMetadata.InjectedElement	A single injected element.
QualifierAnnotationAutowireCandidateResolver	AutowireCandidateResolver implementation that matches bean definition qualifiers against qualifier annotations on the field or parameter to be autowired.
RequiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor	BeanPostProcessor implementation that enforces required JavaBean properties to have been configured.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
Autowire	Enumeration determining autowiring status: that is, whether a bean should have its dependencies automatically injected by the Spring container using setter injection.

Annotation Types Summary

Annotation Type	Description
Autowired	Marks a constructor, field, setter method or config method as to be autowired by Spring's dependency injection facilities.
Configurable	Marks a class as being eligible for Spring-driven configuration.
Lookup	An annotation that indicates 'lookup' methods, to be overridden by the container to redirect them back to the BeanFactory for a getBean call.
Qualifier	This annotation may be used on a field or parameter as a qualifier for candidate beans when autowiring.
Required	Marks a method (typically a JavaBean setter method) as being 'required': that is, the setter method must be configured to be dependency-injected with a value.
Value	Annotation at the field or method/constructor parameter level that indicates a default value expression for the affected argument.
