Package org.springframework.context.annotation

Annotation support for the Application Context, including JSR-250 "common" annotations, component-scanning, and Java-based metadata for creating Spring-managed objects.

See: Description

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AnnotationConfigRegistry	Common interface for annotation config application contexts, defining AnnotationConfigRegistry.register(java.lang.Class<?>...) and AnnotationConfigRegistry.scan(java.lang.String...) methods.
Condition	A single condition that must be matched in order for a component to be registered.
ConditionContext	Context information for use by Conditions.
ConfigurationCondition	A Condition that offers more fine-grained control when used with @Configuration.
DeferredImportSelector	A variation of ImportSelector that runs after all @Configuration beans have been processed.
ImportAware	Interface to be implemented by any @Configuration class that wishes to be injected with the AnnotationMetadata of the @Configuration class that imported it.
ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar	Interface to be implemented by types that register additional bean definitions when processing @Configuration classes.
ImportSelector	Interface to be implemented by types that determine which @Configuration class(es) should be imported based on a given selection criteria, usually one or more annotation attributes.
LoadTimeWeavingConfigurer	Interface to be implemented by @Configuration classes annotated with @EnableLoadTimeWeaving that wish to customize the LoadTimeWeaver instance to be used.
ScopeMetadataResolver	Strategy interface for resolving the scope of bean definitions.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AdviceModeImportSelector<A extends Annotation>	Convenient base class for ImportSelector implementations that select imports based on an AdviceMode value from an annotation (such as the @Enable* annotations).
AnnotatedBeanDefinitionReader	Convenient adapter for programmatic registration of annotated bean classes.
AnnotationBeanNameGenerator	BeanNameGenerator implementation for bean classes annotated with the @Component annotation or with another annotation that is itself annotated with @Component as a meta-annotation.
AnnotationConfigApplicationContext	Standalone application context, accepting annotated classes as input - in particular @Configuration-annotated classes, but also plain @Component types and JSR-330 compliant classes using javax.inject annotations.
AnnotationConfigBeanDefinitionParser	Parser for the <context:annotation-config/> element.
AnnotationConfigUtils	Utility class that allows for convenient registration of common BeanPostProcessor and BeanFactoryPostProcessor definitions for annotation-based configuration.
AnnotationScopeMetadataResolver	A ScopeMetadataResolver implementation that by default checks for the presence of Spring's @Scope annotation on the bean class.
AutoProxyRegistrar	Registers an auto proxy creator against the current BeanDefinitionRegistry as appropriate based on an @Enable* annotation having mode and proxyTargetClass attributes set to the correct values.
ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner	A bean definition scanner that detects bean candidates on the classpath, registering corresponding bean definitions with a given registry (BeanFactory or ApplicationContext).
ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider	A component provider that scans the classpath from a base package.
CommonAnnotationBeanPostProcessor	BeanPostProcessor implementation that supports common Java annotations out of the box, in particular the JSR-250 annotations in the javax.annotation package.
ComponentScanBeanDefinitionParser	Parser for the <context:component-scan/> element.
ConfigurationClassPostProcessor	BeanFactoryPostProcessor used for bootstrapping processing of @Configuration classes.
ContextAnnotationAutowireCandidateResolver	Complete implementation of the AutowireCandidateResolver strategy interface, providing support for qualifier annotations as well as for lazy resolution driven by the Lazy annotation in the context.annotation package.
Jsr330ScopeMetadataResolver	Simple ScopeMetadataResolver implementation that follows JSR-330 scoping rules: defaulting to prototype scope unless Singleton is present.
LoadTimeWeavingConfiguration	@Configuration class that registers a LoadTimeWeaver bean.
MBeanExportConfiguration	@Configuration class that registers a AnnotationMBeanExporter bean.
ScannedGenericBeanDefinition	Extension of the GenericBeanDefinition class, based on an ASM ClassReader, with support for annotation metadata exposed through the AnnotatedBeanDefinition interface.
ScopeMetadata	Describes scope characteristics for a Spring-managed bean including the scope name and the scoped-proxy behavior.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
AdviceMode	Enumeration used to determine whether JDK proxy-based or AspectJ weaving-based advice should be applied.
ConfigurationCondition.ConfigurationPhase	The various configuration phases where the condition could be evaluated.
EnableLoadTimeWeaving.AspectJWeaving
FilterType	Enumeration of the type filters that may be used in conjunction with @ComponentScan.
MBeanExportConfiguration.SpecificPlatform
ScopedProxyMode	Enumerates the various scoped-proxy options.

Annotation Types Summary

Annotation Type	Description
Bean	Indicates that a method produces a bean to be managed by the Spring container.
ComponentScan	Configures component scanning directives for use with @Configuration classes.
ComponentScan.Filter	Declares the type filter to be used as an include filter or exclude filter.
Conditional	Indicates that a component is only eligible for registration when all specified conditions match.
Configuration	Indicates that a class declares one or more @Bean methods and may be processed by the Spring container to generate bean definitions and service requests for those beans at runtime, for example: @Configuration public class AppConfig { @Bean public MyBean myBean() { // instantiate, configure and return bean ...
DependsOn	Beans on which the current bean depends.
Description	Adds a textual description to bean definitions derived from Component or Bean.
EnableAspectJAutoProxy	Enables support for handling components marked with AspectJ's @Aspect annotation, similar to functionality found in Spring's <aop:aspectj-autoproxy> XML element.
EnableLoadTimeWeaving	Activates a Spring LoadTimeWeaver for this application context, available as a bean with the name "loadTimeWeaver", similar to the <context:load-time-weaver> element in Spring XML.
EnableMBeanExport	Enables default exporting of all standard MBeans from the Spring context, as well as well all @ManagedResource annotated beans.
Import	Indicates one or more @Configuration classes to import.
ImportResource	Indicates one or more resources containing bean definitions to import.
Lazy	Indicates whether a bean is to be lazily initialized.
Primary	Indicates that a bean should be given preference when multiple candidates are qualified to autowire a single-valued dependency.
Profile	Indicates that a component is eligible for registration when one or more specified profiles are active.
PropertySource	Annotation providing a convenient and declarative mechanism for adding a PropertySource to Spring's Environment.
PropertySources	Container annotation that aggregates several PropertySource annotations.
Role	Indicates the 'role' hint for a given bean.
Scope	When used as a type-level annotation in conjunction with @Component, @Scope indicates the name of a scope to use for instances of the annotated type.
