Classes in org.springframework.beans.factory.config used by org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation

Class and Description
BeanDefinition A BeanDefinition describes a bean instance, which has property values, constructor argument values, and further information supplied by concrete implementations.
BeanDefinitionHolder Holder for a BeanDefinition with name and aliases.
BeanFactoryPostProcessor Allows for custom modification of an application context's bean definitions, adapting the bean property values of the context's underlying bean factory.
BeanPostProcessor Factory hook that allows for custom modification of new bean instances, e.g.
ConfigurableListableBeanFactory Configuration interface to be implemented by most listable bean factories.
DependencyDescriptor Descriptor for a specific dependency that is about to be injected.
DestructionAwareBeanPostProcessor Subinterface of BeanPostProcessor that adds a before-destruction callback.
InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor Subinterface of BeanPostProcessor that adds a before-instantiation callback, and a callback after instantiation but before explicit properties are set or autowiring occurs.
InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessorAdapter Adapter that implements all methods on SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor as no-ops, which will not change normal processing of each bean instantiated by the container.
SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor Extension of the InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor interface, adding a callback for predicting the eventual type of a processed bean.

Class and Description
AbstractFactoryBean Simple template superclass for FactoryBean implementations that creates a singleton or a prototype object, depending on a flag.
AutowireCapableBeanFactory Extension of the BeanFactory interface to be implemented by bean factories that are capable of autowiring, provided that they want to expose this functionality for existing bean instances.
BeanDefinition A BeanDefinition describes a bean instance, which has property values, constructor argument values, and further information supplied by concrete implementations.
BeanDefinitionHolder Holder for a BeanDefinition with name and aliases.
BeanExpressionContext Context object for evaluating an expression within a bean definition.
BeanExpressionResolver Strategy interface for resolving a value through evaluating it as an expression, if applicable.
BeanFactoryPostProcessor Allows for custom modification of an application context's bean definitions, adapting the bean property values of the context's underlying bean factory.
BeanPostProcessor Factory hook that allows for custom modification of new bean instances, e.g.
BeanReference Interface that exposes a reference to a bean name in an abstract fashion.
ConfigurableBeanFactory Configuration interface to be implemented by most bean factories.
ConfigurableListableBeanFactory Configuration interface to be implemented by most listable bean factories.
ConstructorArgumentValues Holder for constructor argument values, typically as part of a bean definition.
ConstructorArgumentValues.ValueHolder Holder for a constructor argument value, with an optional type attribute indicating the target type of the actual constructor argument.
DependencyDescriptor Descriptor for a specific dependency that is about to be injected.
InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor Subinterface of BeanPostProcessor that adds a before-instantiation callback, and a callback after instantiation but before explicit properties are set or autowiring occurs.
MethodInvokingBean Simple method invoker bean: just invoking a target method, not expecting a result to expose to the container (in contrast to MethodInvokingFactoryBean).
NamedBeanHolder A simple holder for a given bean name plus bean instance.
PlaceholderConfigurerSupport Abstract base class for property resource configurers that resolve placeholders in bean definition property values.
PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer PlaceholderConfigurerSupport subclass that resolves ${...} placeholders against local properties and/or system properties and environment variables.
PropertyResourceConfigurer Allows for configuration of individual bean property values from a property resource, i.e.
Scope Strategy interface used by a ConfigurableBeanFactory, representing a target scope to hold bean instances in.
SingletonBeanRegistry Interface that defines a registry for shared bean instances.
SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor Extension of the InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor interface, adding a callback for predicting the eventual type of a processed bean.
YamlProcessor Base class for YAML factories.
YamlProcessor.DocumentMatcher Strategy interface used to test if properties match.
YamlProcessor.MatchCallback Callback interface used to process the YAML parsing results.
YamlProcessor.MatchStatus Status returned from YamlProcessor.DocumentMatcher.matches(java.util.Properties)
YamlProcessor.ResolutionMethod Method to use for resolving resources.
