Description

Interface Summary

AutowireCapableBeanFactory	Extension of the BeanFactory interface to be implemented by bean factories that are capable of autowiring, provided that they want to expose this functionality for existing bean instances.
BeanDefinition	A BeanDefinition describes a bean instance, which has property values, constructor argument values, and further information supplied by concrete implementations.
BeanFactoryPostProcessor	Allows for custom modification of an application context's bean definitions, adapting the bean property values of the context's underlying bean factory.
BeanPostProcessor	Allows for custom modification of new bean instances, e.g.
ConfigurableBeanFactory	Configuration interface to be implemented by most bean factories.
ConfigurableListableBeanFactory	Configuration interface to be implemented by most listable bean factories.
DestructionAwareBeanPostProcessor	Subinterface of BeanPostProcessor that adds a before-destruction callback.
InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor	Subinterface of BeanPostProcessor that adds a before-instantiation callback.

Class Summary

AbstractFactoryBean	Simple template superclass for FactoryBean implementations that creates a singleton or a prototype object, depending on a flag.
BeanDefinitionHolder	Holder for a BeanDefinition with name and aliases.
BeanDefinitionVisitor	Visitor base class for traversing BeanDefinition objects and the MutablePropertyValues and ConstructorArgumentValues contained in them.
BeanReferenceFactoryBean	FactoryBean that exposes an arbitrary target bean under a different name.
CommonsLogFactoryBean	Factory bean for commons-logging Log instances.
ConstructorArgumentValues	Holder for constructor argument values, as part of a bean definition.
ConstructorArgumentValues.ValueHolder	Holder for a constructor argument value, with an optional type attribute indicating the target type of the actual constructor argument.
CustomEditorConfigurer	BeanFactoryPostProcessor implementation that allows for convenient registration of custom property editors.
FieldRetrievingFactoryBean	FactoryBean which retrieves a static or non-static field value.
ListFactoryBean	Simple factory for shared List instances.
MapFactoryBean	Simple factory for shared Map instances.
MethodInvokingFactoryBean	FactoryBean which returns a value which is the result of a static or instance method invocation.
ObjectFactoryCreatingFactoryBean	FactoryBean which returns a value which is an ObjectFactory that returns a bean from the BeanFactory.
PreferencesPlaceholderConfigurer	Subclass of PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer that supports JDK 1.4's Preferences API (java.util.prefs).
PropertiesFactoryBean	Allows for making a properties file from a classpath location available as Properties instance in a bean factory.
PropertyOverrideConfigurer	A property resource configurer that overrides bean property values in an application context definition.
PropertyPathFactoryBean	FactoryBean that evaluates a property path on a given target object.
PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer	A property resource configurer that resolves placeholders in bean property values of context definitions.
PropertyResourceConfigurer	Allows for configuration of individual bean property values from a property resource, i.e. a properties file.
ResourceFactoryBean	FactoryBean for Resource descriptors.
RuntimeBeanReference	Immutable placeholder class used for the value of a PropertyValue object when it's a reference to another bean in this factory to be resolved at runtime.
ServiceLocatorFactoryBean	FactoryBean that takes an interface which must have one or more methods with the signatures MyType xxx() or MyType xxx(MyIdType id) (typically, MyService getService() or MyService getService(String id)) and creates a dynamic proxy which implements that interface, delegating to the Spring BeanFactory underneath.
SetFactoryBean	Simple factory for shared Set instances.
TypedStringValue	Holder for a typed String value.
