      BeanConfiguration createSingletonBean(Class clazz)
      Creates a singleton bean configuration. Differs from addSingletonBean in that it doesn't add the bean to the list of bean references. Hence should be used for creating nested beans.

      clazz -
      Returns:
      A BeanConfiguration instance
    • addSingletonBean

      BeanConfiguration addSingletonBean(String name, Class clazz, Collection args)

      name - The name of the bean
      clazz - The class of the bean
      args - The constructor arguments of the bean
      Returns:
      A BeanConfiguration instance
    • createSingletonBean

      BeanConfiguration createSingletonBean(Class clazz, Collection constructorArguments)
      Creates a singleton bean configuration. Differs from addSingletonBean in that it doesn't add the bean to the list of bean references. Hence should be used for creating nested beans
      Parameters:
      clazz - The bean class
      constructorArguments - The constructor arguments
      Returns:
      A BeanConfiguration instance
    • createPrototypeBean

      BeanConfiguration createPrototypeBean(String name)
      Creates a new prototype bean configuration. Differs from addPrototypeBean in that it doesn't add the bean to the list of bean references to be created via the getApplicationContext() method, hence can be used for creating nested beans
      Parameters:
      name - The bean name
      Returns:
      A BeanConfiguration instance
    • createSingletonBean

      BeanConfiguration createSingletonBean(String name)
      Creates a new singleton bean configuration. Differs from addSingletonBean in that it doesn't add the bean to the list of bean references to be created via the getApplicationContext() method, hence can be used for creating nested beans
      Parameters:
      name - The bean name
      Returns:
      A BeanConfiguration instance
