Class BeanDefinitionHolder

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanDefinitionHolder

public class BeanDefinitionHolder

extends Object

Holder for a BeanDefinition with name and aliases.

Recognized by AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory for inner bean definitions. Registered by DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser, which also uses it as general holder for a parsed bean definition.

Can also be used for programmatic registration of inner bean definitions. If you don't care about BeanNameAware and the like, registering RootBeanDefinition or ChildBeanDefinition is good enough.

Since:

1.0.2
