Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AutoPopulatingList.ElementFactory<E>	Factory interface for creating elements for an index-based access data structure such as a List.
ConcurrentReferenceHashMap.Reference<K,V>	A reference to an ConcurrentReferenceHashMap.Entry contained in the map.
ErrorHandler	A strategy for handling errors.
IdGenerator	Contract for generating universally unique identifiers (UUIDs).
MultiValueMap<K,V>	Extension of the Map interface that stores multiple values.
PathMatcher	Strategy interface for String-based path matching.
PropertiesPersister	Strategy interface for persisting java.util.Properties, allowing for pluggable parsing strategies.
PropertyPlaceholderHelper.PlaceholderResolver	Strategy interface used to resolve replacement values for placeholders contained in Strings.

ReflectionUtils.FieldFilter	Callback optionally used to filter fields to be operated on by a field callback.
ReflectionUtils.MethodCallback	Action to take on each method.
ReflectionUtils.MethodFilter	Callback optionally used to filter methods to be operated on by a method callback.
StringValueResolver	Simple strategy interface for resolving a String value.
WeakReferenceMonitor.ReleaseListener	Listener that is notified when the handle is being released.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AlternativeJdkIdGenerator	An IdGenerator that uses SecureRandom for the initial seed and Random thereafter, instead of calling UUID.randomUUID() every time as JdkIdGenerator does.
AntPathMatcher	PathMatcher implementation for Ant-style path patterns.
AntPathMatcher.AntPathStringMatcher	Tests whether or not a string matches against a pattern via a Pattern.
AntPathMatcher.AntPatternComparator	The default Comparator implementation returned by AntPathMatcher.getPatternComparator(String).
Assert	Assertion utility class that assists in validating arguments.
AutoPopulatingList<E>	Simple List wrapper class that allows for elements to be automatically populated as they are requested.
Base64Utils	A simple utility class for Base64 encoding and decoding.
ClassUtils	Miscellaneous class utility methods.
CollectionUtils	Miscellaneous collection utility methods.
CommonsLogWriter	java.io.Writer adapter for a Commons Logging Log.
CompositeIterator<E>	Composite iterator that combines multiple other iterators, as registered via CompositeIterator.add(Iterator).
ConcurrencyThrottleSupport	Support class for throttling concurrent access to a specific resource.
ConcurrentReferenceHashMap<K,V>	A ConcurrentHashMap that uses soft or weak references for both keys and values.
ConcurrentReferenceHashMap.Entry<K,V>	A single map entry.
CustomizableThreadCreator	Simple customizable helper class for creating new Thread instances.
DefaultPropertiesPersister	Default implementation of the PropertiesPersister interface.
DigestUtils	Miscellaneous methods for calculating digests.
ExceptionTypeFilter	An InstanceFilter implementation that handles exception types.
FastByteArrayOutputStream	A speedy alternative to ByteArrayOutputStream.
FileCopyUtils	Simple utility methods for file and stream copying.
FileSystemUtils	Utility methods for working with the file system.
InstanceFilter<T>	A simple instance filter that checks if a given instance match based on a collection of includes and excludes element.
JdkIdGenerator	An IdGenerator that calls UUID.randomUUID().
LinkedCaseInsensitiveMap<V>	LinkedHashMap variant that stores String keys in a case-insensitive manner, for example for key-based access in a results table.
LinkedMultiValueMap<K,V>	Simple implementation of MultiValueMap that wraps a LinkedHashMap, storing multiple values in a LinkedList.
Log4jConfigurer	Convenience class that features simple methods for custom log4j configuration.
MethodInvoker	Helper class that allows for specifying a method to invoke in a declarative fashion, be it static or non-static.
MimeType	Represents a MIME Type, as originally defined in RFC 2046 and subsequently used in other Internet protocols including HTTP.
MimeType.SpecificityComparator<T extends MimeType>
MimeTypeUtils	Miscellaneous MimeType utility methods.
NumberUtils	Miscellaneous utility methods for number conversion and parsing.
ObjectUtils	Miscellaneous object utility methods.
PatternMatchUtils	Utility methods for simple pattern matching, in particular for Spring's typical "xxx*", "*xxx" and "*xxx*" pattern styles.
PropertyPlaceholderHelper	Utility class for working with Strings that have placeholder values in them.
ReflectionUtils	Simple utility class for working with the reflection API and handling reflection exceptions.
ResizableByteArrayOutputStream	An extension of ByteArrayOutputStream that: has public ResizableByteArrayOutputStream.grow(int) and ResizableByteArrayOutputStream.resize(int) methods to get more control over the the size of the internal buffer has a higher initial capacity (256) by default
ResourceUtils	Utility methods for resolving resource locations to files in the file system.
SerializationUtils	Static utilities for serialization and deserialization.
SimpleIdGenerator	A simple IdGenerator that starts at 1 and increments by 1 with each call.
SocketUtils	Simple utility methods for working with network sockets — for example, for finding available ports on localhost.
StopWatch	Simple stop watch, allowing for timing of a number of tasks, exposing total running time and running time for each named task.
StopWatch.TaskInfo	Inner class to hold data about one task executed within the stop watch.
StreamUtils	Simple utility methods for dealing with streams.
StringUtils	Miscellaneous String utility methods.
SystemPropertyUtils	Helper class for resolving placeholders in texts.
TypeUtils	Utility to work with Java 5 generic type parameters.
WeakReferenceMonitor	Track references to arbitrary objects using proxy and weak references.
