Class StaticListableBeanFactory

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.springframework.beans.factory.support.StaticListableBeanFactory
All Implemented Interfaces:
BeanFactory, ListableBeanFactory

public class StaticListableBeanFactory
extends Object
implements ListableBeanFactory

Static BeanFactory implementation which allows to register existing singleton instances programmatically. Does not have support for prototype beans or aliases.

Serves as example for a simple implementation of the ListableBeanFactory interface, managing existing bean instances rather than creating new ones based on bean definitions, and not implementing any extended SPI interfaces (such as ConfigurableBeanFactory).

For a full-fledged factory based on bean definitions, have a look at DefaultListableBeanFactory.

Method Detail

addBean

public void addBean(String name,
                    Object bean)
Add a new singleton bean. Will overwrite any existing instance for the given name.

Parameters:
name - the name of the bean
bean - the bean instance

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
Throws:
NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no bean definition 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 of the actual class, or null for any match. For example, if the value is Object.class, this method will succeed whatever the class of the returned instance.
Returns:
an instance of the bean
Throws:
NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there's no such bean definition
BeanNotOfRequiredTypeException - if the bean is not of the required type
BeansException - if the bean could not be created

getBean

public <T> T getBean(Class<T> requiredType)
          throws BeansException
Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
Return the bean instance that uniquely matches the given object type, if any.

Specified by:
getBean in interface BeanFactory
Parameters:
requiredType - type the bean must match; can be an interface or superclass. null is disallowed.

This method goes into ListableBeanFactory by-type lookup territory but may also be translated into a conventional by-name lookup based on the name of the given type. For more extensive retrieval operations across sets of beans, use ListableBeanFactory and/or BeanFactoryUtils.

Returns:
an instance of the single bean matching the required type
Throws:
NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is not exactly one matching bean found
BeansException
See Also:
ListableBeanFactory

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.

Specified by:
getBean in interface BeanFactory
Parameters:
name - the name of the bean to retrieve
args - arguments to use if creating a prototype using explicit arguments to a static factory method. It is invalid to use a non-null args value in any other case.
Returns:
an instance of the bean
Throws:
NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there's 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

containsBean

public boolean containsBean(String name)
Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
Does this bean factory contain a bean with the given name? More specifically, is BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String) able to obtain a bean instance for the given name?

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:
containsBean in interface BeanFactory
Parameters:
name - the name of the bean to query
Returns:
whether a bean with the given name is defined

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:
BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String), BeanFactory.isPrototype(java.lang.String)

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
Returns:
whether this bean will always deliver independent instances
Throws:
NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no bean with the given name
See Also:
BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String), BeanFactory.isSingleton(java.lang.String)

isTypeMatch

public boolean isTypeMatch(String name,
                           Class targetType)
                    throws NoSuchBeanDefinitionException
Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
Check whether the bean with the given name matches the specified type. More specifically, check whether a BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String) call for the given name would return an object that is assignable to the specified target type.

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:
isTypeMatch in interface BeanFactory
Parameters:
name - the name of the bean to query
targetType - the type to match against
Returns:
true if the bean type matches, false if it doesn't match or cannot be determined yet
Throws:
NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no bean with the given name
See Also:
BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String), BeanFactory.getType(java.lang.String)

getType

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().

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:
getType in interface BeanFactory
Parameters:
name - the name of the bean to query
Returns:
the type of the bean, or null if not determinable
Throws:
NoSuchBeanDefinitionException - if there is no bean with the given name
See Also:
BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String), BeanFactory.isTypeMatch(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class)

getAliases

public String[] getAliases(String name)
Description copied from interface: BeanFactory
Return the aliases for the given bean name, if any. All of those aliases point to the same bean when used in a BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String) call.

If the given name is an alias, the corresponding original bean name and other aliases (if any) will be returned, with the original bean name being the first element in the array.

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

Specified by:
getAliases in interface BeanFactory
Parameters:
name - the bean name to check for aliases
Returns:
the aliases, or an empty array if none
See Also:
BeanFactory.getBean(java.lang.String)

containsBeanDefinition

public boolean containsBeanDefinition(String name)
Description copied from interface: ListableBeanFactory
Check if this bean factory contains a bean definition with the given name.

Does not consider any hierarchy this factory may participate in, and ignores any singleton beans that have been registered by other means than bean definitions.

Specified by:
containsBeanDefinition in interface ListableBeanFactory
Parameters:
name - the name of the bean to look for
Returns:
if this bean factory contains a bean definition with the given name
See Also:
BeanFactory.containsBean(java.lang.String)

getBeanDefinitionCount

public int getBeanDefinitionCount()
Description copied from interface: ListableBeanFactory
Return the number of beans defined in the factory.

Does not consider any hierarchy this factory may participate in, and ignores any singleton beans that have been registered by other means than bean definitions.

Specified by:
getBeanDefinitionCount in interface ListableBeanFactory
Returns:
the number of beans defined in the factory

getBeanDefinitionNames

public String[] getBeanDefinitionNames()
Description copied from interface: ListableBeanFactory
Return the names of all beans defined in this factory.

Does not consider any hierarchy this factory may participate in, and ignores any singleton beans that have been registered by other means than bean definitions.

Specified by:
getBeanDefinitionNames in interface ListableBeanFactory
Returns:
the names of all beans defined in this factory, or an empty array if none defined

getBeanNamesForType

public String[] getBeanNamesForType(Class type)
Description copied from interface: ListableBeanFactory
Return the names of beans matching the given type (including subclasses), judging from either bean definitions or the value of getObjectType in the case of FactoryBeans.

NOTE: This method introspects top-level beans only. It does not check nested beans which might match the specified type as well.

Does consider objects created by FactoryBeans, which means that FactoryBeans will get initialized. If the object created by the FactoryBean doesn't match, the raw FactoryBean itself will be matched against the type.

Does not consider any hierarchy this factory may participate in. Use BeanFactoryUtils' beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors to include beans in ancestor factories too.

Note: Does not ignore singleton beans that have been registered by other means than bean definitions.

This version of getBeanNamesForType matches all kinds of beans, be it singletons, prototypes, or FactoryBeans. In most implementations, the result will be the same as for getBeanNamesOfType(type, true, true).

Bean names returned by this method should always return bean names in the order of definition in the backend configuration, as far as possible.

Specified by:
getBeanNamesForType in interface ListableBeanFactory
Parameters:
type - the class or interface to match, or null for all bean names
Returns:
the names of beans (or objects created by FactoryBeans) matching the given object type (including subclasses), or an empty array if none

FactoryBean.getObjectType(), BeanFactoryUtils.beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors(ListableBeanFactory, Class)

getBeanNamesForType

public String[] getBeanNamesForType(Class type,
                                    boolean includeNonSingletons,
                                    boolean includeFactoryBeans)
Description copied from interface: ListableBeanFactory
Return the names of beans matching the given type (including subclasses), judging from either bean definitions or the value of getObjectType in the case of FactoryBeans.

NOTE: This method introspects top-level beans only. It does not check nested beans which might match the specified type as well.

Does consider objects created by FactoryBeans if the "allowEagerInit" flag is set, which means that FactoryBeans will get initialized. If the object created by the FactoryBean doesn't match, the raw FactoryBean itself will be matched against the type. If "allowEagerInit" is not set, only raw FactoryBeans will be checked (which doesn't require initialization of each FactoryBean). $ *

Does not consider any hierarchy this factory may participate in. Use BeanFactoryUtils' beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors to include beans in ancestor factories too.

Note: Does not ignore singleton beans that have been registered by other means than bean definitions.

Bean names returned by this method should always return bean names in the order of definition in the backend configuration, as far as possible.

Specified by:
getBeanNamesForType in interface ListableBeanFactory
Parameters:
type - the class or interface to match, or null for all bean names
includeNonSingletons - whether to include prototype or scoped beans too or just singletons (also applies to FactoryBeans)
includeFactoryBeans - whether to initialize lazy-init singletons and objects created by FactoryBeans (or by factory methods with a "factory-bean" reference) for the type check. Note that FactoryBeans need to be eagerly initialized to determine their type: So be aware that passing in "true" for this flag will initialize FactoryBeans and "factory-bean" references.
Returns:
the names of beans (or objects created by FactoryBeans) matching the given object type (including subclasses), or an empty array if none

Return the bean instances that match the given object type (including subclasses), judging from either bean definitions or the value of getObjectType in the case of FactoryBeans.

NOTE: This method introspects top-level beans only. It does not check nested beans which might match the specified type as well.

Does consider objects created by FactoryBeans, which means that FactoryBeans will get initialized. If the object created by the FactoryBean doesn't match, the raw FactoryBean itself will be matched against the type.
