AbstractApplicationContext

java.lang.Object
- org.springframework.core.io.DefaultResourceLoader
- - org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable, BeanFactory, DisposableBean, HierarchicalBeanFactory, ListableBeanFactory, ApplicationContext, ApplicationEventPublisher, ConfigurableApplicationContext, Lifecycle, MessageSource, EnvironmentCapable, ResourceLoader, ResourcePatternResolver

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext, GenericApplicationContext
```
public abstract class AbstractApplicationContext
extends DefaultResourceLoader
implements ConfigurableApplicationContext, DisposableBean
```
Abstract implementation of the ApplicationContext interface. Doesn't mandate the type of storage used for configuration; simply implements common context functionality. Uses the Template Method design pattern, requiring concrete subclasses to implement abstract methods.
In contrast to a plain BeanFactory, an ApplicationContext is supposed to detect special beans defined in its internal bean factory: Therefore, this class automatically registers BeanFactoryPostProcessors, BeanPostProcessors and ApplicationListeners which are defined as beans in the context.
A MessageSource may also be supplied as a bean in the context, with the name "messageSource"; otherwise, message resolution is delegated to the parent context. Furthermore, a multicaster for application events can be supplied as "applicationEventMulticaster" bean of type ApplicationEventMulticaster in the context; otherwise, a default multicaster of type SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster will be used.
Implements resource loading through extending DefaultResourceLoader. Consequently treats non-URL resource paths as class path resources (supporting full class path resource names that include the package path, e.g. "mypackage/myresource.dat"), unless the DefaultResourceLoader.getResourceByPath(java.lang.String) method is overwritten in a subclass.

  - onRefresh
```
protected void onRefresh()
                  throws BeansException
```
    Template method which can be overridden to add context-specific refresh work. Called on initialization of special beans, before instantiation of singletons.
    This implementation is empty.
    
    Throws:
    
    BeansException - in case of errors
    See Also:
    refresh()
  - registerListeners
```
protected void registerListeners()
```
    Add beans that implement ApplicationListener as listeners. Doesn't affect other listeners, which can be added without being beans.
  - addListener
```
@Deprecated
protected void addListener(ApplicationListener<?> listener)
```
    Deprecated. as of Spring 3.0, in favor of addApplicationListener(org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener<?>)
    
    Subclasses can invoke this method to register a listener. Any beans in the context that are listeners are automatically added.
    Note: This method only works within an active application context, i.e. when an ApplicationEventMulticaster is already available. Generally prefer the use of addApplicationListener(org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener<?>) which is more flexible.
    
    Parameters:
    listener - the listener to register
  - finishBeanFactoryInitialization
```
protected void finishBeanFactoryInitialization(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory)
```
    Finish the initialization of this context's bean factory, initializing all remaining singleton beans.

```
protected void cancelRefresh(BeansException ex)
```
    Cancel this context's refresh attempt, resetting the active flag after an exception got thrown.
    
    Parameters:
    ex - the exception that led to the cancellation
  - registerShutdownHook
```
public void registerShutdownHook()
```
    Register a shutdown hook with the JVM runtime, closing this context on JVM shutdown unless it has already been closed at that time.
    Delegates to doClose() for the actual closing procedure.
    
    Specified by:
    
    registerShutdownHook in interface ConfigurableApplicationContext
    
    See Also:
    Runtime.addShutdownHook(java.lang.Thread), close(), doClose()
  - destroy
```
public void destroy()
```
    DisposableBean callback for destruction of this instance. Only called when the ApplicationContext itself is running as a bean in another BeanFactory or ApplicationContext, which is rather unusual.
    The close method is the native way to shut down an ApplicationContext.
    
    Specified by:
    
    destroy in interface DisposableBean
    
    See Also:
    close(), SingletonBeanFactoryLocator
  - close
```
public void close()
```
    Close this application context, destroying all beans in its bean factory.
    Delegates to doClose() for the actual closing procedure. Also removes a JVM shutdown hook, if registered, as it's not needed anymore.
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface java.io.Closeable
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface ConfigurableApplicationContext
    
    See Also:
    doClose(), registerShutdownHook()
  - doClose
```
protected void doClose()
```
    Actually performs context closing: publishes a ContextClosedEvent and destroys the singletons in the bean factory of this application context.
    Called by both close() and a JVM shutdown hook, if any.
    
    See Also:
    ContextClosedEvent, destroyBeans(), close(), registerShutdownHook()
  - destroyBeans
```
protected void destroyBeans()
```
    Template method for destroying all beans that this context manages. The default implementation destroy all cached singletons in this context, invoking DisposableBean.destroy() and/or the specified "destroy-method".
    Can be overridden to add context-specific bean destruction steps right before or right after standard singleton destruction, while the context's BeanFactory is still active.
    
    See Also:
    getBeanFactory(), ConfigurableBeanFactory.destroySingletons()
  - onClose
```
protected void onClose()
```
    Template method which can be overridden to add context-specific shutdown work. The default implementation is empty.
    Called at the end of doClose()'s shutdown procedure, after this context's BeanFactory has been closed. If custom shutdown logic needs to execute while the BeanFactory is still active, override the destroyBeans() method instead.
  - isActive
```
public boolean isActive()
```
    Description copied from interface: ConfigurableApplicationContext
    
    Determine whether this application context is active, that is, whether it has been refreshed at least once and has not been closed yet.
    
    Specified by:

  - getBean
```
public java.lang.Object getBean(java.lang.String name)
                         throws BeansException
```
    Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
    
    Return an instance, which may be shared or independent, of the specified bean.
    This method allows a Spring BeanFactory to be used as a replacement for the Singleton or Prototype design pattern. Callers may retain references to returned objects in the case of Singleton beans.
    Translates aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name. Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getBean in interface BeanFactory
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the bean to retrieve
    
    Returns:
    an instance of the bean
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no bean definition with the specified name
    
    BeansException - if the bean could not be obtained
  - getBean
```
public <T> T getBean(java.lang.String name,
            java.lang.Class<T> requiredType)
          throws BeansException
```
    Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
    
    Return an instance, which may be shared or independent, of the specified bean.
    Behaves the same as BeanFactory.getBean(String), but provides a measure of type safety by throwing a BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException if the bean is not of the required type. This means that ClassCastException can't be thrown on casting the result correctly, as can happen with BeanFactory.getBean(String).
    Translates aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name. Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getBean in interface BeanFactory
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the bean to retrieve
    requiredType - type the bean must match. Can be an interface or superclass of the actual class, or null for any match. For example, if the value is Object.class, this method will succeed whatever the class of the returned instance.
    
    Returns:
    an instance of the bean
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no such bean definition
    
    BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException - if the bean is not of the required type
    
    BeansException - if the bean could not be created
  - getBean
```
public <T> T getBean(java.lang.Class<T> requiredType)
          throws BeansException
```
    Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
    
    Return the bean instance that uniquely matches the given object type, if any.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getBean in interface BeanFactory
    
    Parameters:
    requiredType - type the bean must match; can be an interface or superclass. null is disallowed.
    This method goes into ListableBeanFactory by-type lookup territory but may also be translated into a conventional by-name lookup based on the name of the given type. For more extensive retrieval operations across sets of beans, use ListableBeanFactory and/or BeanFactoryUtils.
    
    Returns:
    an instance of the single bean matching the required type
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if no bean of the given type was found
    
    NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException - if more than one bean of the given type was found
    
    BeansException

```
    Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
    
    Return an instance, which may be shared or independent, of the specified bean.
    Allows for specifying explicit constructor arguments / factory method arguments, overriding the specified default arguments (if any) in the bean definition.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getBean in interface BeanFactory
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the bean to retrieve
    args - arguments to use if creating a prototype using explicit arguments to a static factory method. It is invalid to use a non-null args value in any other case.
    
    Returns:
    an instance of the bean
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no such bean definition
    
    BeanDefinitionStoreException - if arguments have been given but the affected bean isn't a prototype
    
    BeansException - if the bean could not be created
  - containsBean
```
public boolean containsBean(java.lang.String name)
```
    Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
    
    Does this bean factory contain a bean definition or externally registered singleton instance with the given name?
    If the given name is an alias, it will be translated back to the corresponding canonical bean name.
    If this factory is hierarchical, will ask any parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.
    If a bean definition or singleton instance matching the given name is found, this method will return true whether the named bean definition is concrete or abstract, lazy or eager, in scope or not. Therefore, note that a true return value from this method does not necessarily indicate that BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String) will be able to obtain an instance for the same name.
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsBean in interface BeanFactory
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the bean to query
    
    Returns:

  - isSingleton
```
public boolean isSingleton(java.lang.String name)
                    throws NoSuchBeanDefinitionException
```
    Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
    
    Is this bean a shared singleton? That is, will BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String) always return the same instance?
    Note: This method returning false does not clearly indicate independent instances. It indicates non-singleton instances, which may correspond to a scoped bean as well. Use the BeanFactory.isPrototype(java.lang.String) operation to explicitly check for independent instances.
    Translates aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name. Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isSingleton in interface BeanFactory
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the bean to query
    
    Returns:
    whether this bean corresponds to a singleton instance
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no bean with the given name

```
    Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
    
    Is this bean a prototype? That is, will BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String) always return independent instances?
    Note: This method returning false does not clearly indicate a singleton object. It indicates non-independent instances, which may correspond to a scoped bean as well. Use the BeanFactory.isSingleton(java.lang.String) operation to explicitly check for a shared singleton instance.
    Translates aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name. Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isPrototype in interface BeanFactory
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the bean to query
    
    Returns:

```
    Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
    
    Check whether the bean with the given name matches the specified type. More specifically, check whether a BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String) call for the given name would return an object that is assignable to the specified target type.
    Translates aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name. Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isTypeMatch in interface BeanFactory
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the bean to query

    Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
    
    Determine the type of the bean with the given name. More specifically, determine the type of object that BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String) would return for the given name.
    For a FactoryBean, return the type of object that the FactoryBean creates, as exposed by FactoryBean.getObjectType().
    Translates aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name. Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.

```
public java.lang.String[] getAliases(java.lang.String name)
```
    Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
    
    Return the aliases for the given bean name, if any. All of those aliases point to the same bean when used in a BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String) call.
    If the given name is an alias, the corresponding original bean name and other aliases (if any) will be returned, with the original bean name being the first element in the array.
    Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.
    
    Specified by:

  - getBeanNamesForType
```
public java.lang.String[] getBeanNamesForType(java.lang.Class<?> type)
```
    Description copied from interface: ListableBeanFactory
    
    Return the names of beans matching the given type (including subclasses), judging from either bean definitions or the value of getObjectType in the case of FactoryBeans.
    NOTE: This method introspects top-level beans only. It does not check nested beans which might match the specified type as well.
    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.
    Does not consider any hierarchy this factory may participate in. Use BeanFactoryUtils' beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors to include beans in ancestor factories too.
    Note: Does not ignore singleton beans that have been registered by other means than bean definitions.
    This version of getBeanNamesForType matches all kinds of beans, be it singletons, prototypes, or FactoryBeans. In most implementations, the result will be the same as for getBeanNamesOfType(type, true, true).
    Bean names returned by this method should always return bean names in the order of definition in the backend configuration, as far as possible.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getBeanNamesForType in interface ListableBeanFactory
    
    Parameters:
    type - the class or interface to match, or null for all bean names
    
    Returns:
    the names of beans (or objects created by FactoryBeans) matching the given object type (including subclasses), or an empty array if none

```
    Description copied from interface: ListableBeanFactory
    
    Return the names of beans matching the given type (including subclasses), judging from either bean definitions or the value of getObjectType in the case of FactoryBeans.
    NOTE: This method introspects top-level beans only. It does not check nested beans which might match the specified type as well.
    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).
    Does not consider any hierarchy this factory may participate in. Use BeanFactoryUtils' beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors to include beans in ancestor factories too.
    Note: Does not ignore singleton beans that have been registered by other means than bean definitions.
    Bean names returned by this method should always return bean names in the order of definition in the backend configuration, as far as possible.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getBeanNamesForType in interface ListableBeanFactory
    
    Parameters:
    type - the class or interface to match, or null for all bean names
    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.
    
    Returns:
    the names of beans (or objects created by FactoryBeans) matching the given object type (including subclasses), or an empty array if none

    type - the class or interface to match, or null for all concrete beans
    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.
    
    Returns:
    a Map with the matching beans, containing the bean names as keys and the corresponding bean instances as values
    
    Throws:
    
    BeansException - if a bean could not be created

```
    Description copied from interface: MessageSource
    
    Try to resolve the message using all the attributes contained within the MessageSourceResolvable argument that was passed in.

```
    Description copied from interface: ResourcePatternResolver
    
    Resolve the given location pattern into Resource objects.
    Overlapping resource entries that point to the same physical resource should be avoided, as far as possible. The result should have set semantics.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getResources in interface ResourcePatternResolver
    
    Parameters:
    locationPattern - the location pattern to resolve
    
    Returns:
    the corresponding Resource objects
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - in case of I/O errors
  - start
```
public void start()
```
    Description copied from interface: Lifecycle
    
    Start this component. Should not throw an exception if the component is already running.
    In the case of a container, this will propagate the start signal to all components that apply.
    
    Specified by:
    
    start in interface Lifecycle
  - stop
```
public void stop()
```
    Description copied from interface: Lifecycle
    
    Stop this component, typically in a synchronous fashion, such that the component is fully stopped upon return of this method. Consider implementing SmartLifecycle and its stop(Runnable) variant in cases where asynchronous stop behavior is necessary.
    Should not throw an exception if the component isn't started yet.
    In the case of a container, this will propagate the stop signal to all components that apply.
    
    Specified by:
    
    stop in interface Lifecycle
    
    See Also:
    SmartLifecycle.stop(Runnable)
  - isRunning
```
public boolean isRunning()
```
    Description copied from interface: Lifecycle
    
    Check whether this component is currently running.
    In the case of a container, this will return true only if all components that apply are currently running.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isRunning in interface Lifecycle
    
    Returns:
    whether the component is currently running
  - refreshBeanFactory
```
protected abstract void refreshBeanFactory()
                                    throws BeansException,
                                           java.lang.IllegalStateException
```
    Subclasses must implement this method to perform the actual configuration load. The method is invoked by refresh() before any other initialization work.
    A subclass will either create a new bean factory and hold a reference to it, or return a single BeanFactory instance that it holds. In the latter case, it will usually throw an IllegalStateException if refreshing the context more than once.
    
    Throws:
    
    BeansException - if initialization of the bean factory failed
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if already initialized and multiple refresh attempts are not supported
  - closeBeanFactory
```
protected abstract void closeBeanFactory()
```
    Subclasses must implement this method to release their internal bean factory. This method gets invoked by close() after all other shutdown work.
    Should never throw an exception but rather log shutdown failures.
  - getBeanFactory
```
public abstract ConfigurableListableBeanFactory getBeanFactory()
                                                        throws java.lang.IllegalStateException
```
    Subclasses must return their internal bean factory here. They should implement the lookup efficiently, so that it can be called repeatedly without a performance penalty.
    Note: Subclasses should check whether the context is still active before returning the internal bean factory. The internal factory should generally be considered unavailable once the context has been closed.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getBeanFactory in interface ConfigurableApplicationContext
    
    Returns:
    this application context's internal bean factory (never null)
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the context does not hold an internal bean factory yet (usually if refresh() has never been called) or if the context has been closed already
    See Also:
    refreshBeanFactory(), closeBeanFactory()
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Return information about this context.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
