All Implemented Interfaces:

ContextLoader

Direct Known Subclasses:

GenericPropertiesContextLoader, GenericXmlContextLoader

public abstract class AbstractGenericContextLoader
extends AbstractContextLoader

Abstract, generic extension of AbstractContextLoader which loads a GenericApplicationContext from the locations provided to loadContext(String...).

Concrete subclasses must provide an appropriate BeanDefinitionReader.

Method Detail

loadContext

public final ConfigurableApplicationContext loadContext(String... locations)
                                                 throws Exception

Loads a Spring ApplicationContext from the supplied locations.

Implementation details:

• Creates a standard GenericApplicationContext instance.
• Populates it from the specified config locations through a BeanDefinitionReader.
• Calls customizeBeanFactory(DefaultListableBeanFactory) to allow for customizing the context's DefaultListableBeanFactory.
• Delegates to AnnotationConfigUtils for registering annotation configuration processors.
• Calls customizeContext(GenericApplicationContext) to allow for customizing the context before it is refreshed.
• Refreshes the context and registers a JVM shutdown hook for it.

Subclasses must provide an appropriate implementation of createBeanDefinitionReader(GenericApplicationContext).

Parameters:

locations - the resource locations to use to load the application context

Returns:

a new application context

Throws:

Exception - if context loading failed

prepareContext

protected void prepareContext(GenericApplicationContext context)

Prepare the GenericApplicationContext created by this ContextLoader. Called before bean definitions are read.

The default implementation is empty. Can be overridden in subclasses to customize GenericApplicationContext's standard settings.

Parameters:

context - the context for which the BeanDefinitionReader should be created

See Also:

loadContext(java.lang.String...), GenericApplicationContext.setResourceLoader(org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader), AbstractApplicationContext.setId(java.lang.String)

customizeBeanFactory

protected void customizeBeanFactory(DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory)

Customize the internal bean factory of the ApplicationContext created by this ContextLoader.

The default implementation is empty but can be overridden in subclasses to customize DefaultListableBeanFactory's standard settings.

Parameters:

beanFactory - the bean factory created by this ContextLoader

loadContext(java.lang.String...), DefaultListableBeanFactory.setAllowBeanDefinitionOverriding(boolean), DefaultListableBeanFactory.setAllowEagerClassLoading(boolean), AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.setAllowCircularReferences(boolean), AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.setAllowRawInjectionDespiteWrapping(boolean)

createBeanDefinitionReader

protected abstract BeanDefinitionReader createBeanDefinitionReader(GenericApplicationContext context)

Factory method for creating new BeanDefinitionReaders for loading bean definitions into the supplied context.

Parameters:

context - the context for which the BeanDefinitionReader should be created

Returns:

a BeanDefinitionReader for the supplied context

See Also:

loadContext(java.lang.String...), BeanDefinitionReader

customizeContext

protected void customizeContext(GenericApplicationContext context)

Customize the GenericApplicationContext created by this ContextLoader after bean definitions have been loaded into the context but before the context is refreshed.

The default implementation is empty but can be overridden in subclasses to customize the application context.

Parameters:

context - the newly created application context
