Class AbstractBeanFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:
BeanFactory, ConfigurableBeanFactory, SingletonBeanRegistry, HierarchicalBeanFactory, AliasRegistry
Direct Known Subclasses:
AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory

public abstract class AbstractBeanFactory extends FactoryBeanRegistrySupport implements ConfigurableBeanFactory
Abstract base class for BeanFactory implementations, providing the full capabilities of the ConfigurableBeanFactory SPI. Does not assume a listable bean factory: can therefore also be used as base class for bean factory implementations which obtain bean definitions from some backend resource (where bean definition access is an expensive operation).

This class provides a singleton cache (through its base class DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry, singleton/prototype determination, FactoryBean handling, aliases, bean definition merging for child bean definitions, and bean destruction (DisposableBean interface, custom destroy methods). Furthermore, it can manage a bean factory hierarchy (delegating to the parent in case of an unknown bean), through implementing the HierarchicalBeanFactory interface.

The main template methods to be implemented by subclasses are getBeanDefinition(java.lang.String) and createBean(java.lang.String, org.springframework.beans.factory.support.RootBeanDefinition, java.lang.Object[]), retrieving a bean definition for a given bean name and creating a bean instance for a given bean definition, respectively. Default implementations of those operations can be found in DefaultListableBeanFactory and AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.

    • getBean

      public Object getBean(String name) throws BeansException
      Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
      Return an instance, which may be shared or independent, of the specified bean.

      This method allows a Spring BeanFactory to be used as a replacement for the Singleton or Prototype design pattern. Callers may retain references to returned objects in the case of Singleton beans.

      Translates aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name.

      Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.

      Specified by:
      getBean in interface BeanFactory
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the bean to retrieve
      Returns:
      an instance of the bean. Note that the return value will never be null but possibly a stub for null returned from a factory method, to be checked via equals(null). Consider using BeanFactory.getBeanProvider(Class) for resolving optional dependencies.
      Throws:
      NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no bean with the specified name
      BeansException - if the bean could not be obtained
    • getBean

      public <T> T getBean(String name, Class<T> requiredType) throws BeansException
      Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
      Return an instance, which may be shared or independent, of the specified bean.

      Behaves the same as BeanFactory.getBean(String), but provides a measure of type safety by throwing a BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException if the bean is not of the required type. This means that ClassCastException can't be thrown on casting the result correctly, as can happen with BeanFactory.getBean(String).

      Translates aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name.

      Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.

      Specified by:
      getBean in interface BeanFactory
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the bean to retrieve
      requiredType - type the bean must match; can be an interface or superclass
      Returns:
      an instance of the bean. Note that the return value will never be null. In case of a stub for null from a factory method having been resolved for the requested bean, a BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException against the NullBean stub will be raised. Consider using BeanFactory.getBeanProvider(Class) for resolving optional dependencies.
      Throws:
      NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no such bean definition
      BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException - if the bean is not of the required type
      BeansException - if the bean could not be created
    • getBean

      public Object getBean(String name, Object... args) throws BeansException
      Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
      Return an instance, which may be shared or independent, of the specified bean.

      Allows for specifying explicit constructor arguments / factory method arguments, overriding the specified default arguments (if any) in the bean definition. Note that the provided arguments need to match a specific candidate constructor / factory method in the order of declared parameters.

      Specified by:
      getBean in interface BeanFactory
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the bean to retrieve
      args - arguments to use when creating a bean instance using explicit arguments (only applied when creating a new instance as opposed to retrieving an existing one)
      Returns:
      an instance of the bean
      Throws:
      NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no such bean definition
      BeanDefinitionStoreException - if arguments have been given but the affected bean isn't a prototype
      BeansException - if the bean could not be created
    • getBean

      public <T> T getBean(String name, @Nullable Class<T> requiredType, @Nullable Object... args) throws BeansException

      Parameters:
      name - the name of the bean to retrieve
      requiredType - the required type of the bean to retrieve
      args - arguments to use when creating a bean instance using explicit arguments (only applied when creating a new instance as opposed to retrieving an existing one)
      Returns:
      an instance of the bean
      Throws:
      BeansException - if the bean could not be created
    • doGetBean

      protected <T> T doGetBean(String name, @Nullable Class<T> requiredType, @Nullable Object[] args, boolean typeCheckOnly) throws BeansException
      Return an instance, which may be shared or independent, of the specified bean.
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the bean to retrieve
      requiredType - the required type of the bean to retrieve
      args - arguments to use when creating a bean instance using explicit arguments (only applied when creating a new instance as opposed to retrieving an existing one)
      typeCheckOnly - whether the instance is obtained for a type check, not for actual use
      Returns:
      an instance of the bean
      Throws:
      BeansException - if the bean could not be created
    • containsBean

      public boolean containsBean(String name)
      Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
      Does this bean factory contain a bean definition or externally registered singleton instance with the given name?

      If the given name is an alias, it will be translated back to the corresponding canonical bean name.

      If this factory is hierarchical, will ask any parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.

      If a bean definition or singleton instance matching the given name is found, this method will return true whether the named bean definition is concrete or abstract, lazy or eager, in scope or not. Therefore, note that a true return value from this method does not necessarily indicate that BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String) will be able to obtain an instance for the same name.

      Specified by:
      containsBean in interface BeanFactory
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the bean to query
      Returns:
      whether a bean with the given name is present
    • isSingleton

      public boolean isSingleton(String name) throws NoSuchBeanDefinitionException
      Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
      Is this bean a shared singleton? That is, will BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String) always return the same instance?

      Note: This method returning false does not clearly indicate independent instances. It indicates non-singleton instances, which may correspond to a scoped bean as well. Use the BeanFactory.isPrototype(java.lang.String) operation to explicitly check for independent instances.

      Translates aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name.

      Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.

      Specified by:
      isSingleton in interface BeanFactory
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the bean to query
      Returns:
      whether this bean corresponds to a singleton instance
      Throws:
      NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no bean with the given name
      See Also:
    • isPrototype

      public boolean isPrototype(String name) throws NoSuchBeanDefinitionException
      Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
      Is this bean a prototype? That is, will BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String) always return independent instances?

      Note: This method returning false does not clearly indicate a singleton object. It indicates non-independent instances, which may correspond to a scoped bean as well. Use the BeanFactory.isSingleton(java.lang.String) operation to explicitly check for a shared singleton instance.

      Translates aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name.

      Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.

      Specified by:
      isPrototype in interface BeanFactory
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the bean to query

      @Nullable public Class<?> getType(String name) throws NoSuchBeanDefinitionException
      Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
      Determine the type of the bean with the given name. More specifically, determine the type of object that BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String) would return for the given name.

      For a FactoryBean, return the type of object that the FactoryBean creates, as exposed by FactoryBean.getObjectType(). This may lead to the initialization of a previously uninitialized FactoryBean (see BeanFactory.getType(String, boolean)).

      Translates aliases back to the corresponding canonical bean name.

      Will ask the parent factory if the bean cannot be found in this factory instance.

    • setParentBeanFactory

      public void setParentBeanFactory(@Nullable BeanFactory parentBeanFactory)
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Set the parent of this bean factory.

      Note that the parent cannot be changed: It should only be set outside a constructor if it isn't available at the time of factory instantiation.

      Specified by:
      setParentBeanFactory in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Parameters:
      parentBeanFactory - the parent BeanFactory
      See Also:
    • setBeanClassLoader

      public void setBeanClassLoader(@Nullable ClassLoader beanClassLoader)
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Set the class loader to use for loading bean classes. Default is the thread context class loader.

      Note that this class loader will only apply to bean definitions that do not carry a resolved bean class yet. This is the case as of Spring 2.0 by default: Bean definitions only carry bean class names, to be resolved once the factory processes the bean definition.

      Specified by:
      setBeanClassLoader in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Parameters:
      beanClassLoader - the class loader to use, or null to suggest the default class loader
    • getBeanClassLoader

      @Nullable public ClassLoader getBeanClassLoader()
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Return this factory's class loader for loading bean classes (only null if even the system ClassLoader isn't accessible).
      Specified by:
      getBeanClassLoader in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
      See Also:
    • setTempClassLoader

      public void setTempClassLoader(@Nullable ClassLoader tempClassLoader)
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Specify a temporary ClassLoader to use for type matching purposes. Default is none, simply using the standard bean ClassLoader.

      A temporary ClassLoader is usually just specified if load-time weaving is involved, to make sure that actual bean classes are loaded as lazily as possible. The temporary loader is then removed once the BeanFactory completes its bootstrap phase.

      Specified by:
      setTempClassLoader in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
    • getTempClassLoader

      @Nullable public ClassLoader getTempClassLoader()
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Return the temporary ClassLoader to use for type matching purposes, if any.
      Specified by:
      getTempClassLoader in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
    • setCacheBeanMetadata

      public void setCacheBeanMetadata(boolean cacheBeanMetadata)
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Set whether to cache bean metadata such as given bean definitions (in merged fashion) and resolved bean classes. Default is on.

      Turn this flag off to enable hot-refreshing of bean definition objects and in particular bean classes. If this flag is off, any creation of a bean instance will re-query the bean class loader for newly resolved classes.

      Specified by:
      setCacheBeanMetadata in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
    • isCacheBeanMetadata

      public boolean isCacheBeanMetadata()
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Return whether to cache bean metadata such as given bean definitions (in merged fashion) and resolved bean classes.
      Specified by:
      isCacheBeanMetadata in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
    • setBeanExpressionResolver

      public void setBeanExpressionResolver(@Nullable BeanExpressionResolver resolver)
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Specify the resolution strategy for expressions in bean definition values.

      There is no expression support active in a BeanFactory by default. An ApplicationContext will typically set a standard expression strategy here, supporting "#{...}" expressions in a Unified EL compatible style.

      Specified by:
      setBeanExpressionResolver in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
    • getBeanExpressionResolver

      @Nullable public BeanExpressionResolver getBeanExpressionResolver()
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Return the resolution strategy for expressions in bean definition values.
      Specified by:
      getBeanExpressionResolver in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
    • setConversionService

      public void setConversionService(@Nullable ConversionService conversionService)
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Specify a ConversionService to use for converting property values, as an alternative to JavaBeans PropertyEditors.
      Specified by:
      setConversionService in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
    • getConversionService

      @Nullable public ConversionService getConversionService()
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory

    • addPropertyEditorRegistrar

      public void addPropertyEditorRegistrar(PropertyEditorRegistrar registrar)
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Add a PropertyEditorRegistrar to be applied to all bean creation processes.

      Such a registrar creates new PropertyEditor instances and registers them on the given registry, fresh for each bean creation attempt. This avoids the need for synchronization on custom editors; hence, it is generally preferable to use this method instead of ConfigurableBeanFactory.registerCustomEditor(java.lang.Class<?>, java.lang.Class<? extends java.beans.PropertyEditor>).

      Specified by:
      addPropertyEditorRegistrar in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Parameters:
      registrar - the PropertyEditorRegistrar to register
    • getPropertyEditorRegistrars

      public Set<PropertyEditorRegistrar> getPropertyEditorRegistrars()
      Return the set of PropertyEditorRegistrars.
    • registerCustomEditor

      public void registerCustomEditor(Class<?> requiredType, Class<? extends PropertyEditor> propertyEditorClass)
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Register the given custom property editor for all properties of the given type. To be invoked during factory configuration.

      Note that this method will register a shared custom editor instance; access to that instance will be synchronized for thread-safety. It is generally preferable to use ConfigurableBeanFactory.addPropertyEditorRegistrar(org.springframework.beans.PropertyEditorRegistrar) instead of this method, to avoid for the need for synchronization on custom editors.

      Specified by:
      registerCustomEditor in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Parameters:
      requiredType - type of the property
      propertyEditorClass - the PropertyEditor class to register
    • copyRegisteredEditorsTo

      public void copyRegisteredEditorsTo(PropertyEditorRegistry registry)
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Initialize the given PropertyEditorRegistry with the custom editors that have been registered with this BeanFactory.
      Specified by:
      copyRegisteredEditorsTo in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Parameters:
      registry - the PropertyEditorRegistry to initialize
    • getCustomEditors

      public Map<Class<?>,Class<? extends PropertyEditor>> getCustomEditors()
      Return the map of custom editors, with Classes as keys and PropertyEditor classes as values.
    • setTypeConverter

      public void setTypeConverter(TypeConverter typeConverter)
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Set a custom type converter that this BeanFactory should use for converting bean property values, constructor argument values, etc.

      This will override the default PropertyEditor mechanism and hence make any custom editors or custom editor registrars irrelevant.

      Specified by:
      setTypeConverter in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
      See Also:
    • getCustomTypeConverter

      @Nullable protected TypeConverter getCustomTypeConverter()
      Return the custom TypeConverter to use, if any.
      Returns:
      the custom TypeConverter, or null if none specified
    • getTypeConverter

      public TypeConverter getTypeConverter()
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Obtain a type converter as used by this BeanFactory. This may be a fresh instance for each call, since TypeConverters are usually not thread-safe.

      If the default PropertyEditor mechanism is active, the returned TypeConverter will be aware of all custom editors that have been registered.

      Specified by:
      getTypeConverter in interface ConfigurableBeanFactory
    • addEmbeddedValueResolver

      public void addEmbeddedValueResolver(StringValueResolver valueResolver)

      public void addBeanPostProcessor(BeanPostProcessor beanPostProcessor)
      Description copied from interface: ConfigurableBeanFactory
      Add a new BeanPostProcessor that will get applied to beans created by this factory. To be invoked during factory configuration.

      Note: Post-processors submitted here will be applied in the order of registration; any ordering semantics expressed through implementing the Ordered interface will be ignored. Note that autodetected post-processors (e.g. as beans in an ApplicationContext) will always be applied after programmatically registered ones.

      @Nullable protected Class<?> predictBeanType(String beanName, RootBeanDefinition mbd, Class<?>... typesToMatch)
      Predict the eventual bean type (of the processed bean instance) for the specified bean. Called by getType(java.lang.String) and isTypeMatch(java.lang.String, org.springframework.core.ResolvableType). Does not need to handle FactoryBeans specifically, since it is only supposed to operate on the raw bean type.

      This implementation is simplistic in that it is not able to handle factory methods and InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessors. It only predicts the bean type correctly for a standard bean. To be overridden in subclasses, applying more sophisticated type detection.

      Parameters:
      beanName - the name of the bean
      mbd - the merged bean definition to determine the type for
      typesToMatch - the types to match in case of internal type matching purposes (also signals that the returned Class will never be exposed to application code)

    • isFactoryBean

      protected boolean isFactoryBean(String beanName, RootBeanDefinition mbd)

      mbd - the corresponding bean definition
    • getTypeForFactoryBean

      protected ResolvableType getTypeForFactoryBean(String beanName, RootBeanDefinition mbd, boolean allowInit)
      Determine the bean type for the given FactoryBean definition, as far as possible. Only called if there is no singleton instance registered for the target bean already. The implementation is allowed to instantiate the target factory bean if allowInit is true and the type cannot be determined another way; otherwise it is restricted to introspecting signatures and related metadata.

      If no FactoryBean.OBJECT_TYPE_ATTRIBUTE is set on the bean definition and allowInit is true, the default implementation will create the FactoryBean via getBean to call its getObjectType method. Subclasses are encouraged to optimize this, typically by inspecting the generic signature of the factory bean class or the factory method that creates it. If subclasses do instantiate the FactoryBean, they should consider trying the getObjectType method without fully populating the bean. If this fails, a full FactoryBean creation as performed by this implementation should be used as fallback.

      Parameters:
      beanName - the name of the bean
      mbd - the merged bean definition for the bean
      allowInit - if initialization of the FactoryBean is permitted if the type cannot be determined another way
      Returns:
      the type for the bean if determinable, otherwise ResolvableType.NONE

    • containsBeanDefinition

      protected abstract boolean containsBeanDefinition(String beanName)
      Check if this bean factory contains a bean definition with the given name. Does not consider any hierarchy this factory may participate in. Invoked by containsBean when no cached singleton instance is found.

      Depending on the nature of the concrete bean factory implementation, this operation might be expensive (for example, because of directory lookups in external registries). However, for listable bean factories, this usually just amounts to a local hash lookup: The operation is therefore part of the public interface there. The same implementation can serve for both this template method and the public interface method in that case.

      Parameters:
      beanName - the name of the bean to look for
      Returns:
      if this bean factory contains a bean definition with the given name
      See Also:
    • getBeanDefinition

      protected abstract BeanDefinition getBeanDefinition(String beanName) throws BeansException
