Interface ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar

All Known Implementing Classes:

AutoProxyRegistrar

public interface ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar

Interface to be implemented by types that register additional bean definitions when processing @Configuration classes. Useful when operating at the bean definition level (as opposed to @Bean method/instance level) is desired or necessary.

Along with @Configuration and ImportSelector, classes of this type may be provided to the @Import annotation (or may also be returned from an ImportSelector).

An ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar may implement any of the following Aware interfaces, and their respective methods will be called prior to registerBeanDefinitions(org.springframework.core.type.AnnotationMetadata, org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionRegistry, org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanNameGenerator):

• EnvironmentAware
• BeanFactoryAware
• BeanClassLoaderAware
• ResourceLoaderAware

Alternatively, the class may provide a single constructor with one or more of the following supported parameter types:

• Environment
• BeanFactory
• ClassLoader
• ResourceLoader

See implementations and associated unit tests for usage examples.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default void	registerBeanDefinitions(AnnotationMetadata importingClassMetadata, BeanDefinitionRegistry registry)	Register bean definitions as necessary based on the given annotation metadata of the importing @Configuration class.
default void	registerBeanDefinitions(AnnotationMetadata importingClassMetadata, BeanDefinitionRegistry registry, BeanNameGenerator importBeanNameGenerator)	Register bean definitions as necessary based on the given annotation metadata of the importing @Configuration class.

Method Details

registerBeanDefinitions

default void registerBeanDefinitions(AnnotationMetadata importingClassMetadata,
 BeanDefinitionRegistry registry,
 BeanNameGenerator importBeanNameGenerator)

Register bean definitions as necessary based on the given annotation metadata of the importing @Configuration class.

Note that BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor types may not be registered here, due to lifecycle constraints related to @Configuration class processing.

The default implementation delegates to registerBeanDefinitions(AnnotationMetadata, BeanDefinitionRegistry).

Parameters:

importingClassMetadata - annotation metadata of the importing class

registry - current bean definition registry

importBeanNameGenerator - the bean name generator strategy for imported beans: ConfigurationClassPostProcessor.IMPORT_BEAN_NAME_GENERATOR by default, or a user-provided one if ConfigurationClassPostProcessor.setBeanNameGenerator(org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanNameGenerator) has been set. In the latter case, the passed-in strategy will be the same used for component scanning in the containing application context (otherwise, the default component-scan naming strategy is AnnotationBeanNameGenerator.INSTANCE).

5.2

• ConfigurationClassPostProcessor.setBeanNameGenerator(org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanNameGenerator)

registerBeanDefinitions

default void registerBeanDefinitions(AnnotationMetadata importingClassMetadata,
 BeanDefinitionRegistry registry)

Register bean definitions as necessary based on the given annotation metadata of the importing @Configuration class.

Note that BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor types may not be registered here, due to lifecycle constraints related to @Configuration class processing.

The default implementation is empty.

Parameters:

importingClassMetadata - annotation metadata of the importing class

registry - current bean definition registry
