Class DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader

All Implemented Interfaces:

BeanDefinitionDocumentReader

public class DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader
extends java.lang.Object
implements BeanDefinitionDocumentReader

Default implementation of the BeanDefinitionDocumentReader interface that reads bean definitions according to the "spring-beans" DTD and XSD format (Spring's default XML bean definition format).

The structure, elements, and attribute names of the required XML document are hard-coded in this class. (Of course a transform could be run if necessary to produce this format). <beans> does not need to be the root element of the XML document: this class will parse all bean definition elements in the XML file, regardless of the actual root element.

Method Detail

registerBeanDefinitions

public void registerBeanDefinitions(org.w3c.dom.Document doc,
                                    XmlReaderContext readerContext)

This implementation parses bean definitions according to the "spring-beans" XSD (or DTD, historically).

Opens a DOM Document; then initializes the default settings specified at the <beans/> level; then parses the contained bean definitions.

Specified by:

registerBeanDefinitions in interface BeanDefinitionDocumentReader

Parameters:

doc - the DOM document

readerContext - the current context of the reader (includes the target registry and the resource being parsed)

getReaderContext

protected final XmlReaderContext getReaderContext()

Return the descriptor for the XML resource that this parser works on.

extractSource

@Nullable
protected java.lang.Object extractSource(org.w3c.dom.Element ele)

Invoke the SourceExtractor to pull the source metadata from the supplied Element.

doRegisterBeanDefinitions

protected void doRegisterBeanDefinitions(org.w3c.dom.Element root)

Register each bean definition within the given root <beans/> element.

createDelegate

protected BeanDefinitionParserDelegate createDelegate(XmlReaderContext readerContext,
                                                      org.w3c.dom.Element root,
                                                      @Nullable
                                                      BeanDefinitionParserDelegate parentDelegate)

parseBeanDefinitions

protected void parseBeanDefinitions(org.w3c.dom.Element root,
                                    BeanDefinitionParserDelegate delegate)

Parse the elements at the root level in the document: "import", "alias", "bean".

Parameters:

root - the DOM root element of the document

importBeanDefinitionResource

protected void importBeanDefinitionResource(org.w3c.dom.Element ele)

Parse an "import" element and load the bean definitions from the given resource into the bean factory.

processAliasRegistration

protected void processAliasRegistration(org.w3c.dom.Element ele)

Process the given alias element, registering the alias with the registry.

processBeanDefinition

protected void processBeanDefinition(org.w3c.dom.Element ele,
                                     BeanDefinitionParserDelegate delegate)

Process the given bean element, parsing the bean definition and registering it with the registry.

preProcessXml

protected void preProcessXml(org.w3c.dom.Element root)

Allow the XML to be extensible by processing any custom element types first, before we start to process the bean definitions. This method is a natural extension point for any other custom pre-processing of the XML.

The default implementation is empty. Subclasses can override this method to convert custom elements into standard Spring bean definitions, for example. Implementors have access to the parser's bean definition reader and the underlying XML resource, through the corresponding accessors.

See Also:

getReaderContext()

postProcessXml

protected void postProcessXml(org.w3c.dom.Element root)

Allow the XML to be extensible by processing any custom element types last, after we finished processing the bean definitions. This method is a natural extension point for any other custom post-processing of the XML.

The default implementation is empty. Subclasses can override this method to convert custom elements into standard Spring bean definitions, for example. Implementors have access to the parser's bean definition reader and the underlying XML resource, through the corresponding accessors.
