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	Factory hook that allows for custom modification of new bean instances, e.g. checking for marker interfaces or wrapping them with proxies.
BeanReference	Interface that exposes a reference to a bean name in an abstract fashion.
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, and a callback after instantiation but before explicit properties are set or autowiring occurs.
Scope	Strategy interface used by a ConfigurableBeanFactory, representing a target scope to hold bean instances in.
SingletonBeanRegistry	Interface that defines a registry for shared bean instances.
SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor	Extension of the InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor interface, adding a callback for predicting the eventual type of a processed bean.

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 class for traversing BeanDefinition objects, in particular the property values and constructor argument values contained in them, resolving bean metadata values.
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, typically 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.
CustomScopeConfigurer	Simple BeanFactoryPostProcessor implementation that registers custom Scope(s) with the containing ConfigurableBeanFactory.
DependencyDescriptor	Descriptor for a specific dependency that is about to be injected.
FieldRetrievingFactoryBean	FactoryBean which retrieves a static or non-static field value.
InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessorAdapter	Adapter that implements all methods on SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor as no-ops, which will not change normal processing of each bean instantiated by the container.
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	A FactoryBean implementation that returns a value which is an ObjectFactory that in turn returns a bean sourced from a 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.
RuntimeBeanNameReference	Immutable placeholder class used for a property value object when it's a reference to another bean name in the factory, to be resolved at runtime.
RuntimeBeanReference	Immutable placeholder class used for a property value object when it's a reference to another bean in the factory, to be resolved at runtime.
ServiceLocatorFactoryBean	A FactoryBean implementation 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 an underlying BeanFactory.
SetFactoryBean	Simple factory for shared Set instances.
TypedStringValue	Holder for a typed String value.
