## org.springframework.beans.factory.generic
Class GenericBeanFactoryAccessor

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.beans.factory.generic.GenericBeanFactoryAccessor

    public class GenericBeanFactoryAccessor

extends Object

Simple wrapper around a `ListableBeanFactory` that provides typed, generics-based access to key methods. This removes the need for casting in many cases and should increase compile-time type safety.

Provides a simple mechanism for accessing all beans with a particular `Annotation`.

  2.0
