Interface Summary

Interface	Description
BeanDefinitionDecorator	Interface used by the DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader to handle custom, nested (directly under a <bean>) tags.
BeanDefinitionDocumentReader	SPI for parsing an XML document that contains Spring bean definitions.
BeanDefinitionParser	Interface used by the DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader to handle custom, top-level (directly under <beans/>) tags.
DocumentLoader	Strategy interface for loading an XML Document.
NamespaceHandler	Base interface used by the DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader for handling custom namespaces in a Spring XML configuration file.
NamespaceHandlerResolver	Used by the DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader to locate a NamespaceHandler implementation for a particular namespace URI.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractBeanDefinitionParser	Abstract BeanDefinitionParser implementation providing a number of convenience methods and a template method that subclasses must override to provide the actual parsing logic.
AbstractSimpleBeanDefinitionParser	Convenient base class for when there exists a one-to-one mapping between attribute names on the element that is to be parsed and the property names on the Class being configured.
AbstractSingleBeanDefinitionParser	Base class for those BeanDefinitionParser implementations that need to parse and define just a single BeanDefinition.
BeanDefinitionParserDelegate	Stateful delegate class used to parse XML bean definitions.
BeansDtdResolver	EntityResolver implementation for the Spring beans DTD, to load the DTD from the Spring class path (or JAR file).
DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader	Default implementation of the BeanDefinitionDocumentReader interface.
DefaultDocumentLoader	Spring's default DocumentLoader implementation.
DefaultNamespaceHandlerResolver	Default implementation of the NamespaceHandlerResolver interface.
DelegatingEntityResolver	EntityResolver implementation that delegates to a BeansDtdResolver and a PluggableSchemaResolver for DTDs and XML schemas, respectively.
DocumentDefaultsDefinition	Simple JavaBean that holds the defaults specified at the <beans> level in a standard Spring XML bean definition document: default-lazy-init, default-autowire, etc.
NamespaceHandlerSupport	Support class for implementing custom NamespaceHandlers.
ParserContext	Context that gets passed along a bean definition parsing process, encapsulating all relevant configuration as well as state.
PluggableSchemaResolver	EntityResolver implementation that attempts to resolve schema URLs into local classpath resources using a set of mappings files.
ResourceEntityResolver	EntityResolver implementation that tries to resolve entity references through a ResourceLoader (usually, relative to the resource base of an ApplicationContext), if applicable.
SimpleConstructorNamespaceHandler	Simple NamespaceHandler implementation that maps custom attributes directly through to bean properties.
SimplePropertyNamespaceHandler	Simple NamespaceHandler implementation that maps custom attributes directly through to bean properties.
UtilNamespaceHandler	NamespaceHandler for the util namespace.
XmlBeanDefinitionReader	Bean definition reader for XML bean definitions.
XmlBeanFactory	Deprecated as of Spring 3.1 in favor of DefaultListableBeanFactory and XmlBeanDefinitionReader
XmlReaderContext	Extension of ReaderContext, specific to use with an XmlBeanDefinitionReader.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException	XML-specific BeanDefinitionStoreException subclass that wraps a SAXException, typically a SAXParseException which contains information about the error location.
