org.springframework.beans.factory.HierarchicalBeanFactory

Packages that use HierarchicalBeanFactory

Package	Description
org.springframework.beans.factory.config	SPI interfaces and configuration-related convenience classes for bean factories.
org.springframework.beans.factory.support	Classes supporting the org.springframework.beans.factory package.
org.springframework.context	This package builds on the beans package to add support for message sources and for the Observer design pattern, and the ability for application objects to obtain resources using a consistent API.
org.springframework.context.annotation	Annotation support for the Application Context, including JSR-250 "common" annotations, component-scanning, and Java-based metadata for creating Spring-managed objects.
org.springframework.context.support	Classes supporting the org.springframework.context package, such as abstract base classes for ApplicationContext implementations and a MessageSource implementation.
org.springframework.web.context	Contains a variant of the application context interface for web applications, and the ContextLoaderListener that bootstraps a root web application context.
org.springframework.web.context.support	Classes supporting the org.springframework.web.context package, such as WebApplicationContext implementations and various utility classes.

Uses of HierarchicalBeanFactory in org.springframework.beans.factory.config

Subinterfaces of HierarchicalBeanFactory in org.springframework.beans.factory.config

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description

interface	ConfigurableListableBeanFactory	Configuration interface to be implemented by most listable bean factories.

Uses of HierarchicalBeanFactory in org.springframework.beans.factory.support

Classes in org.springframework.beans.factory.support that implement HierarchicalBeanFactory

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
class	AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory	Abstract bean factory superclass that implements default bean creation, with the full capabilities specified by the RootBeanDefinition class.
class	AbstractBeanFactory	Abstract base class for BeanFactory implementations, providing the full capabilities of the ConfigurableBeanFactory SPI.
class	DefaultListableBeanFactory	Spring's default implementation of the ConfigurableListableBeanFactory and BeanDefinitionRegistry interfaces: a full-fledged bean factory based on bean definition metadata, extensible through post-processors.

Uses of HierarchicalBeanFactory in org.springframework.context

Subinterfaces of HierarchicalBeanFactory in org.springframework.context

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
interface	ApplicationContext	Central interface to provide configuration for an application.
interface	ConfigurableApplicationContext	SPI interface to be implemented by most if not all application contexts.

Uses of HierarchicalBeanFactory in org.springframework.context.annotation

Classes in org.springframework.context.annotation that implement HierarchicalBeanFactory

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
class	AnnotationConfigApplicationContext	Standalone application context, accepting component classes as input — in particular @Configuration-annotated classes, but also plain @Component types and JSR-330 compliant classes using jakarta.inject annotations.

Uses of HierarchicalBeanFactory in org.springframework.context.support

Classes in org.springframework.context.support that implement HierarchicalBeanFactory

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
class	AbstractApplicationContext	Abstract implementation of the ApplicationContext interface.
class	AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext	Base class for ApplicationContext implementations which are supposed to support multiple calls to AbstractApplicationContext.refresh(), creating a new internal bean factory instance every time.
class	AbstractRefreshableConfigApplicationContext	AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext subclass that adds common handling of specified config locations.
class	AbstractXmlApplicationContext	Convenient base class for ApplicationContext implementations, drawing configuration from XML documents containing bean definitions understood by an XmlBeanDefinitionReader.
class	ClassPathXmlApplicationContext	Standalone XML application context, taking the context definition files from the class path, interpreting plain paths as class path resource names that include the package path (e.g.
class	FileSystemXmlApplicationContext	Standalone XML application context, taking the context definition files from the file system or from URLs, interpreting plain paths as relative file system locations (e.g.
class	GenericApplicationContext	Generic ApplicationContext implementation that holds a single internal DefaultListableBeanFactory instance and does not assume a specific bean definition format.
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.

Uses of HierarchicalBeanFactory in org.springframework.web.context

Subinterfaces of HierarchicalBeanFactory in org.springframework.web.context

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
interface	ConfigurableWebApplicationContext	Interface to be implemented by configurable web application contexts.
interface	WebApplicationContext	Interface to provide configuration for a web application.

Uses of HierarchicalBeanFactory in org.springframework.web.context.support

Classes in org.springframework.web.context.support that implement HierarchicalBeanFactory

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
class	AbstractRefreshableWebApplicationContext	AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext subclass which implements the ConfigurableWebApplicationContext interface for web environments.
class	AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext	WebApplicationContext implementation which accepts component classes as input — in particular @Configuration classes, but also plain @Component classes as well as JSR-330 compliant classes using jakarta.inject annotations.
class	GenericWebApplicationContext	Subclass of GenericApplicationContext, suitable for web environments.
class	GroovyWebApplicationContext	WebApplicationContext implementation which takes its configuration from Groovy bean definition scripts and/or XML files, as understood by a GroovyBeanDefinitionReader.
class	StaticWebApplicationContext	Static WebApplicationContext implementation for testing.
class	XmlWebApplicationContext	WebApplicationContext implementation which takes its configuration from XML documents, understood by an XmlBeanDefinitionReader.
