Uses of BeanFactory in org.springframework.beans.factory

Subinterfaces of BeanFactory in org.springframework.beans.factory

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
interface	HierarchicalBeanFactory	Sub-interface implemented by bean factories that can be part of a hierarchy.
interface	ListableBeanFactory	Extension of the BeanFactory interface to be implemented by bean factories that can enumerate all their bean instances, rather than attempting bean lookup by name one by one as requested by clients.

Methods in org.springframework.beans.factory that return BeanFactory

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
BeanFactory	HierarchicalBeanFactory.getParentBeanFactory()	Return the parent bean factory, or null if there is none.

Methods in org.springframework.beans.factory with parameters of type BeanFactory

Modifier and Type	Method	Description

Uses of BeanFactory in org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation

Methods in org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation with parameters of type BeanFactory

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static boolean	BeanFactoryAnnotationUtils.isQualifierMatch(Predicate<String> qualifier, String beanName, BeanFactory beanFactory)	Check whether the named bean declares a qualifier of the given name.

Subinterfaces of BeanFactory in org.springframework.beans.factory.config

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
interface	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.

void	AbstractFactoryBean.setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory)
void	MethodInvokingBean.setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory)
void	PlaceholderConfigurerSupport.setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory)	Only necessary to check that we're not parsing our own bean definition, to avoid failing on unresolvable placeholders in properties file locations.
void	PropertyPathFactoryBean.setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory)
void	ServiceLocatorFactoryBean.setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory)
void	ConfigurableBeanFactory.setParentBeanFactory(BeanFactory parentBeanFactory)	Set the parent of this bean factory.

class	AbstractBeanFactory	Abstract base class for BeanFactory implementations, providing the full capabilities of the ConfigurableBeanFactory SPI.
class	DefaultListableBeanFactory	Spring's default implementation of the ConfigurableListableBeanFactory and BeanDefinitionRegistry interfaces: a full-fledged bean factory based on bean definition metadata, extensible through post-processors.
class	StaticListableBeanFactory	Static BeanFactory implementation which allows one to register existing singleton instances programmatically.
