Constructor Detail

AnnotationApplicationContext

public AnnotationApplicationContext()

Create a new AnnotationApplicationContext w/o any settings.

See Also:

DefaultResourceLoader.setClassLoader(ClassLoader), setConfigClasses(Class[]), setConfigLocations(String[]), setConfigResources(Resource[])

AnnotationApplicationContext

public AnnotationApplicationContext(org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext parent)

Create a new AnnotationApplicationContext with the given parent. The instance can be further configured before calling AbstractApplicationContext.refresh().

Parameters:

parent - the parent application context

See Also:

DefaultResourceLoader.setClassLoader(ClassLoader), setConfigClasses(Class[]), setConfigLocations(String[]), setConfigResources(Resource[])

AnnotationApplicationContext

public AnnotationApplicationContext(java.lang.String... locations)

Create a new AnnotationApplicationContext from the given locations (AbstractApplicationContext.refresh() is being called).

Parameters:

locations - the metadata locations

AnnotationApplicationContext

public AnnotationApplicationContext(java.lang.Class... classes)

Create a new AnnotationApplicationContext from the given classes (AbstractApplicationContext.refresh() is being called).

Parameters:

classes -

Method Detail

getConfigLocations

protected java.lang.String[] getConfigLocations()

Description copied from class: AbstractAnnotationApplicationContext

Return an array of resource locations, referring to the class bean definition files that this context should be built with. Can also include location patterns, which will get resolved via a ResourcePatternResolver.

Default implementation returns null. Subclasses can override this to provide a set of resource locations to load bean definitions from.

Overrides:

getConfigLocations in class AbstractAnnotationApplicationContext

Returns:

an array of resource locations, or null if none

See Also:

AbstractApplicationContext.getResources(java.lang.String), AbstractApplicationContext.getResourcePatternResolver()

getConfigResources

protected org.springframework.core.io.Resource[] getConfigResources()

Description copied from class: AbstractAnnotationApplicationContext

Return an array of Resource objects, referring to the class bean definition files that this context should be built with.

Default implementation returns null. Subclasses can override this to provide pre-built Resource objects rather than location Strings.

Overrides:

getConfigResources in class AbstractAnnotationApplicationContext

Returns:

an array of Resource objects, or null if none

See Also:

AbstractAnnotationApplicationContext.getConfigLocations()

getConfigClasses

protected java.lang.Class[] getConfigClasses()

Description copied from class: AbstractAnnotationApplicationContext

Return an array of Class objects which act as definition files for a spring context.

Default implementation returns null. Subclasses can override this to provide pre-built Class objects rather than location Strings or Resources. This class should be mainly use when runtime generating classes are used (runtime compiled Groovy scripts or ASM 'synthetic' classes).

Overrides:

getConfigClasses in class AbstractAnnotationApplicationContext

Returns:

an array of Class objects, or null if none

See Also:

AbstractAnnotationApplicationContext.getConfigLocations()

setConfigLocations

public void setConfigLocations(java.lang.String... locations)

Set the configuration locations from Strings. These will be converted into Spring's Resource using the current $ResourceLoader.

Parameters:

locations -

setConfigResources

public void setConfigResources(org.springframework.core.io.Resource... resources)

Indicate the configuration locations as Resources.

Parameters:

resources -

setConfigClasses

public void setConfigClasses(java.lang.Class... classes)

Indicate the Classes that hold annotations suitable for configuring the current application context.

Parameters:

classes -
