Class BeanFactoryUtils

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactoryUtils

public abstract class BeanFactoryUtils
extends Object

Convenience methods operating on bean factories, in particular on the ListableBeanFactory interface.

Returns bean counts, bean names or bean instances, taking into account the nesting hierarchy of a bean factory (which the methods defined on the ListableBeanFactory interface don't, in contrast to the methods defined on the BeanFactory interface).

GENERATED_BEAN_NAME_SEPARATOR, BeanDefinitionReaderUtils.generateBeanName(org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanDefinition, org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionRegistry, boolean), DefaultBeanNameGenerator

originalBeanName

public static String originalBeanName(String name)
Extract the "raw" bean name from the given (potentially generated) bean name, excluding any "#..." suffixes which might have been added for uniqueness.

Parameters:
name - the potentially generated bean name
Returns:

See Also:
GENERATED_BEAN_NAME_SEPARATOR

countBeansIncludingAncestors

public static int countBeansIncludingAncestors(ListableBeanFactory lbf)
Count all beans in any hierarchy in which this factory participates. Includes counts of ancestor bean factories.

Beans that are "overridden" (specified in a descendant factory with the same name) are only counted once.

Parameters:
lbf - the bean factory
Returns:
count of beans including those defined in ancestor factories

beanNamesIncludingAncestors

public static String[] beanNamesIncludingAncestors(ListableBeanFactory lbf)
Return all bean names in the factory, including ancestor factories.

Parameters:
lbf - the bean factory
Returns:
the array of matching bean names, or an empty array if none
See Also:
beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors(org.springframework.beans.factory.ListableBeanFactory, java.lang.Class)

beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors

public static String[] beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors(ListableBeanFactory lbf,
                                                          Class type)
Get all bean names for the given type, including those defined in ancestor factories. Will return unique names in case of overridden bean definitions.

Does consider objects created by FactoryBeans, which means that FactoryBeans will get initialized. If the object created by the FactoryBean doesn't match, the raw FactoryBean itself will be matched against the type.

This version of beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors automatically includes prototypes and FactoryBeans.

Parameters:
lbf - the bean factory
type - the type that beans must match
Returns:
the array of matching bean names, or an empty array if none

beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors

public static String[] beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors(ListableBeanFactory lbf,
                                                          Class type,
                                                          boolean includeNonSingletons,
                                                          boolean allowEagerInit)
Get all bean names for the given type, including those defined in ancestor factories. Will return unique names in case of overridden bean definitions.

Does consider objects created by FactoryBeans if the "allowEagerInit" flag is set, which means that FactoryBeans will get initialized. If the object created by the FactoryBean doesn't match, the raw FactoryBean itself will be matched against the type. If "allowEagerInit" is not set, only raw FactoryBeans will be checked (which doesn't require initialization of each FactoryBean).

Parameters:
lbf - the bean factory
includeNonSingletons - whether to include prototype or scoped beans too or just singletons (also applies to FactoryBeans)
allowEagerInit - whether to initialize lazy-init singletons and objects created by FactoryBeans (or by factory methods with a "factory-bean" reference) for the type check. Note that FactoryBeans need to be eagerly initialized to determine their type: So be aware that passing in "true" for this flag will initialize FactoryBeans and "factory-bean" references.
type - the type that beans must match
Returns:
the array of matching bean names, or an empty array if none

beansOfTypeIncludingAncestors

public static <T> Map<String,T> beansOfTypeIncludingAncestors(ListableBeanFactory lbf,

                                                   throws BeansException
Return all beans of the given type or subtypes, also picking up beans defined in ancestor bean factories if the current bean factory is a HierarchicalBeanFactory. The returned Map will only contain beans of this type.

Does consider objects created by FactoryBeans, which means that FactoryBeans will get initialized. If the object created by the FactoryBean doesn't match, the raw FactoryBean itself will be matched against the type.

Parameters:
lbf - the bean factory
type - type of bean to match
Returns:
the Map of matching bean instances, or an empty Map if none
Throws:
BeansException - if a bean could not be created
