Class BeanDefinitionVisitor

  org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanDefinitionVisitor

public abstract class BeanDefinitionVisitor
extends Object

Visitor base class for traversing BeanDefinition objects and the MutablePropertyValues and ConstructorArgumentValues contained in them.

The abstract resolveStringValue method has to be implemented in concrete subclasses, following arbitrary resolution strategies.

Used by PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer to parse all String values contained in a BeanDefinition, resolving any placeholders found.
