Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AutowireCandidateResolver	Strategy interface for determining whether a specific bean definition qualifies as an autowire candidate for a specific dependency.
BeanDefinitionReader	Simple interface for bean definition readers.
BeanDefinitionRegistry	Interface for registries that hold bean definitions, for example RootBeanDefinition and ChildBeanDefinition instances.
BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor	Extension to the standard BeanFactoryPostProcessor SPI, allowing for the registration of further bean definitions before regular BeanFactoryPostProcessor detection kicks in.
BeanNameGenerator	Strategy interface for generating bean names for bean definitions.
InstantiationStrategy	Interface responsible for creating instances corresponding to a root bean definition.
MergedBeanDefinitionPostProcessor	Post-processor callback interface for merged bean definitions at runtime.
MethodReplacer	Interface to be implemented by classes that can reimplement any method on an IoC-managed object: the Method Injection form of Dependency Injection.
SecurityContextProvider	Provider of the security context of the code running inside the bean factory.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory	Abstract bean factory superclass that implements default bean creation, with the full capabilities specified by the RootBeanDefinition class.
AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.AutowireByTypeDependencyDescriptor	Special DependencyDescriptor variant for autowire="byType".
AbstractBeanDefinition	Base class for concrete, full-fledged BeanDefinition classes, factoring out common properties of RootBeanDefinition and ChildBeanDefinition.
AbstractBeanDefinitionReader	Abstract base class for bean definition readers which implement the BeanDefinitionReader interface.
AbstractBeanFactory	Abstract base class for BeanFactory implementations, providing the full capabilities of the ConfigurableBeanFactory SPI.
AutowireCandidateQualifier	Qualifier for resolving autowire candidates.
AutowireUtils	Utility class that contains various methods useful for the implementation of autowire-capable bean factories.
AutowireUtils.ObjectFactoryDelegatingInvocationHandler	Reflective InvocationHandler for lazy access to the current target object.
BeanDefinitionBuilder	Programmatic means of constructing BeanDefinitions using the builder pattern.
BeanDefinitionDefaults	A simple holder for BeanDefinition property defaults.
BeanDefinitionReaderUtils	Utility methods that are useful for bean definition reader implementations.
BeanDefinitionResource	Descriptive Resource wrapper for a BeanDefinition.
BeanDefinitionValueResolver	Helper class for use in bean factory implementations, resolving values contained in bean definition objects into the actual values applied to the target bean instance.
BeanDefinitionValueResolver.KeyedArgName	Holder class used for delayed toString building.
CglibSubclassingInstantiationStrategy	Default object instantiation strategy for use in BeanFactories.
CglibSubclassingInstantiationStrategy.CglibSubclassCreator	An inner class created for historical reasons to avoid external CGLIB dependency in Spring versions earlier than 3.2.
ChildBeanDefinition	Bean definition for beans which inherit settings from their parent.
ConstructorResolver	Helper class for resolving constructors and factory methods.
ConstructorResolver.ArgumentsHolder	Private inner class for holding argument combinations.
ConstructorResolver.AutowiredArgumentMarker	Marker for autowired arguments in a cached argument array.
ConstructorResolver.ConstructorPropertiesChecker	Inner class to avoid a Java 6 dependency.
DefaultBeanNameGenerator	Default implementation of the BeanNameGenerator interface, delegating to BeanDefinitionReaderUtils.generateBeanName(BeanDefinition, BeanDefinitionRegistry).
DefaultListableBeanFactory	Default implementation of the ListableBeanFactory and BeanDefinitionRegistry interfaces: a full-fledged bean factory based on bean definition objects.
DefaultListableBeanFactory.SerializedBeanFactoryReference	Minimal id reference to the factory.
DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry	Generic registry for shared bean instances, implementing the SingletonBeanRegistry.
DisposableBeanAdapter	Adapter that implements the DisposableBean and Runnable interfaces performing various destruction steps on a given bean instance: DestructionAwareBeanPostProcessors; the bean implementing DisposableBean itself; a custom destroy method specified on the bean definition.
FactoryBeanRegistrySupport	Support base class for singleton registries which need to handle FactoryBean instances, integrated with DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry's singleton management.
GenericBeanDefinition	GenericBeanDefinition is a one-stop shop for standard bean definition purposes.
LookupOverride	Represents an override of a method that looks up an object in the same IoC context.
ManagedArray	Tag collection class used to hold managed array elements, which may include runtime bean references (to be resolved into bean objects).
ManagedList<E>	Tag collection class used to hold managed List elements, which may include runtime bean references (to be resolved into bean objects).
ManagedMap<K,V>	Tag collection class used to hold managed Map values, which may include runtime bean references (to be resolved into bean objects).
ManagedProperties	Tag class which represents a Spring-managed Properties instance that supports merging of parent/child definitions.
ManagedSet<E>	Tag collection class used to hold managed Set values, which may include runtime bean references (to be resolved into bean objects).
MethodOverride	Object representing the override of a method on a managed object by the IoC container.
MethodOverrides	Set of method overrides, determining which, if any, methods on a managed object the Spring IoC container will override at runtime.
PropertiesBeanDefinitionReader	Bean definition reader for a simple properties format.
ReplaceOverride	Extension of MethodOverride that represents an arbitrary override of a method by the IoC container.
RootBeanDefinition	A root bean definition represents the merged bean definition that backs a specific bean in a Spring BeanFactory at runtime.
SimpleAutowireCandidateResolver	AutowireCandidateResolver implementation to use when no annotation support is available.
SimpleBeanDefinitionRegistry	Simple implementation of the BeanDefinitionRegistry interface.
SimpleInstantiationStrategy	Simple object instantiation strategy for use in a BeanFactory.
SimpleSecurityContextProvider	Simple SecurityContextProvider implementation.
StaticListableBeanFactory	Static BeanFactory implementation which allows to register existing singleton instances programmatically.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
BeanDefinitionValidationException	Exception thrown when the validation of a bean definition failed.
