public class GroovyScriptFactory extends Object implements ScriptFactory, BeanFactoryAware, BeanClassLoaderAware
ScriptFactory implementation
 for a Groovy script.
 Typically used in combination with a
 ScriptFactoryPostProcessor;
 see the latter's javadoc for a configuration example.
 
Note: Spring 4.0 supports Groovy 1.8 and higher.

| GroovyScriptFactory(String scriptSourceLocator)Create a new GroovyScriptFactory for the given script source. | 
| GroovyScriptFactory(String scriptSourceLocator,
                   GroovyObjectCustomizer groovyObjectCustomizer)Create a new GroovyScriptFactory for the given script source,
 specifying a strategy interface that can create a custom MetaClass
 to supply missing methods and otherwise change the behavior of the object. |

 hence we don't need to explicitly expose interfaces here. |

| boolean | requiresConfigInterface()Groovy scripts do not need a config interface,
 since they expose their setters as public methods. |

public GroovyScriptFactory(String scriptSourceLocator)
We don't need to specify script interfaces here, since a Groovy script defines its Java interfaces itself.
