All Implemented Interfaces:

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

public class AnnotationConfigApplicationContext
extends GenericApplicationContext
implements AnnotationConfigRegistry

Standalone application context, accepting annotated classes as input - in particular @Configuration-annotated classes, but also plain @Component types and JSR-330 compliant classes using javax.inject annotations. Allows for registering classes one by one using register(Class...) as well as for classpath scanning using scan(String...).

In case of multiple @Configuration classes, @Bean methods defined in later classes will override those defined in earlier classes. This can be leveraged to deliberately override certain bean definitions via an extra @Configuration class.

See @Configuration's javadoc for usage examples.

Since:

3.0

Constructor Detail

AnnotationConfigApplicationContext

public AnnotationConfigApplicationContext()

Create a new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext that needs to be populated through register(java.lang.Class<?>...) calls and then manually refreshed.

AnnotationConfigApplicationContext

public AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory)

Create a new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext with the given DefaultListableBeanFactory.

Parameters:

beanFactory - the DefaultListableBeanFactory instance to use for this context

AnnotationConfigApplicationContext

public AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(java.lang.Class<?>... annotatedClasses)

Create a new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext, deriving bean definitions from the given annotated classes and automatically refreshing the context.

Parameters:

annotatedClasses - one or more annotated classes, e.g. @Configuration classes

AnnotationConfigApplicationContext

public AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(java.lang.String... basePackages)

Create a new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext, scanning for bean definitions in the given packages and automatically refreshing the context.

Parameters:

basePackages - the packages to check for annotated classes

Method Detail

setEnvironment

public void setEnvironment(ConfigurableEnvironment environment)

Propagates the given custom Environment to the underlying AnnotatedBeanDefinitionReader and ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner.

Specified by:

setEnvironment in interface ConfigurableApplicationContext

Overrides:

setEnvironment in class AbstractApplicationContext

Parameters:

environment - the new environment

See Also:

AbstractApplicationContext.createEnvironment()

setBeanNameGenerator

public void setBeanNameGenerator(BeanNameGenerator beanNameGenerator)

Provide a custom BeanNameGenerator for use with AnnotatedBeanDefinitionReader and/or ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner, if any.

Default is AnnotationBeanNameGenerator.

Any call to this method must occur prior to calls to register(Class...) and/or scan(String...).

See Also:

AnnotatedBeanDefinitionReader.setBeanNameGenerator(org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanNameGenerator), ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner.setBeanNameGenerator(org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanNameGenerator)

setScopeMetadataResolver

public void setScopeMetadataResolver(ScopeMetadataResolver scopeMetadataResolver)

Set the ScopeMetadataResolver to use for detected bean classes.

The default is an AnnotationScopeMetadataResolver.

Any call to this method must occur prior to calls to register(Class...) and/or scan(String...).

prepareRefresh

protected void prepareRefresh()

Description copied from class: AbstractApplicationContext

Prepare this context for refreshing, setting its startup date and active flag as well as performing any initialization of property sources.

Overrides:

prepareRefresh in class AbstractApplicationContext

register

public void register(java.lang.Class<?>... annotatedClasses)

Register one or more annotated classes to be processed.

Note that AbstractApplicationContext.refresh() must be called in order for the context to fully process the new classes.

Specified by:

register in interface AnnotationConfigRegistry

Parameters:

annotatedClasses - one or more annotated classes, e.g. @Configuration classes

See Also:

scan(String...), AbstractApplicationContext.refresh()

scan

Perform a scan within the specified base packages.

Note that AbstractApplicationContext.refresh() must be called in order for the context to fully process the new classes.

Specified by:

scan in interface AnnotationConfigRegistry
