Uses of GenericApplicationContext in org.springframework.context.support

Subclasses of GenericApplicationContext in org.springframework.context.support

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
class	GenericGroovyApplicationContext	An ApplicationContext implementation that extends GenericApplicationContext and implements GroovyObject such that beans can be retrieved with the dot de-reference syntax instead of using AbstractApplicationContext.getBean(java.lang.String).
class	GenericXmlApplicationContext	Convenient application context with built-in XML support.
class	StaticApplicationContext	ApplicationContext implementation which supports programmatic registration of beans and messages, rather than reading bean definitions from external configuration sources.
