Uses of ContextLoader in org.springframework.test.context.support

Classes in org.springframework.test.context.support that implement ContextLoader

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
class	AbstractContextLoader	Abstract application context loader that provides a basis for all concrete implementations of the ContextLoader SPI.
class	AbstractDelegatingSmartContextLoader	AbstractDelegatingSmartContextLoader serves as an abstract base class for implementations of the SmartContextLoader SPI that delegate to a set of candidate SmartContextLoaders (i.e., one that supports XML configuration files or Groovy scripts and one that supports annotated classes) to determine which context loader is appropriate for a given test class's configuration.
class	AbstractGenericContextLoader	Abstract, generic extension of AbstractContextLoader that loads a GenericApplicationContext.
class	AnnotationConfigContextLoader	Concrete implementation of AbstractGenericContextLoader that loads bean definitions from component classes.
class	DelegatingSmartContextLoader	DelegatingSmartContextLoader is a concrete implementation of AbstractDelegatingSmartContextLoader that delegates to a GenericXmlContextLoader (or a GenericGroovyXmlContextLoader if Groovy is present in the classpath) and an AnnotationConfigContextLoader.
class	GenericGroovyXmlContextLoader	Concrete implementation of AbstractGenericContextLoader that reads bean definitions from Groovy scripts and XML configuration files.
class	GenericPropertiesContextLoader	Deprecated. as of 5.3, in favor of Spring's common bean definition formats and/or custom loader implementations
class	GenericXmlContextLoader	Concrete implementation of AbstractGenericContextLoader that reads bean definitions from XML resources.

Methods in org.springframework.test.context.support that return ContextLoader

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
protected ContextLoader	AbstractTestContextBootstrapper.resolveContextLoader(Class<?> testClass, List<ContextConfigurationAttributes> configAttributesList)	Resolve the ContextLoader class to use for the supplied list of ContextConfigurationAttributes and then instantiate and return that ContextLoader.
