Spring学习笔记之BeanFactory

Spring bean container 的根接口，也是一个bean容器的基本功能，更深一步的接口像ListableBeanFactory 和 ConfigurableBeanFactory 都是 为特殊目标设计的

这个接口的实现将维护一定属性的的bean定义，每个bean用一个唯一的字符串名字来识别。

This interface is implemented by objects that hold a number of bean definitions,each uniquely identified by a String name. Depending on the bean definition,the factory will return either an independent instance of a contained object (the Prototype design pattern), or a single shared instance (a superior alternative to the Singleton design pattern, in which the instance is a singleton in the scope of the factory). Which type of instance will be returned depends on the bean factory configuration

The point of this approach is that the BeanFactory is a central registry of application components, and centralizes configuration of application components

Note that it is generally better to rely on Dependency Injection("push" configuration) to configure application objects through setters or constructors, rather than use any form of "pull" configuration like a BeanFactory lookup. Spring's Dependency Injection functionality is implemented using this BeanFactory interface and its subinterfaces.
Normally a BeanFactory will load bean definitions stored in a configuration source (such as an XML document), and use the {@code org.springframework.beans} package to configure the beans. However, an implementation could simply return Java objects it creates as necessary directly in Java code. There are no constraints on how the definitions could be stored: LDAP, RDBMS, XML,properties file, etc. Implementations are encouraged to support references amongst beans (Dependency Injection).
    In contrast to the methods in {@link ListableBeanFactory}, all of the operations in this interface will also check parent factories if this is a {@link HierarchicalBeanFactory}. If a bean is not found in this factory instance,the immediate parent factory will be asked. Beans in this factory instance are supposed to override beans of the same name in any parent factory.
    Bean factory implementations should support the standard bean lifecycle interfaces as far as possible. The full set of initialization methods and their standard order is:<br>
* 1. BeanNameAware's {@code setBeanName}<br>
* 2. BeanClassLoaderAware's {@code setBeanClassLoader}<br>
* 3. BeanFactoryAware's {@code setBeanFactory}<br>
* 4. ResourceLoaderAware's {@code setResourceLoader}
* (only applicable when running in an application context)<br>
* 5. ApplicationEventPublisherAware's {@code setApplicationEventPublisher}
* (only applicable when running in an application context)<br>
* 6. MessageSourceAware's {@code setMessageSource}
* (only applicable when running in an application context)<br>
* 7. ApplicationContextAware's {@code setApplicationContext}
* (only applicable when running in an application context)<br>
* 8. ServletContextAware's {@code setServletContext}
* (only applicable when running in a web application context)<br>
* 9. {@code postProcessBeforeInitialization} methods of BeanPostProcessors<br>
* 10. InitializingBean's {@code afterPropertiesSet}<br>
* 11. a custom init-method definition<br>
* 12. {@code postProcessAfterInitialization} methods of BeanPostProcessors

   On shutdown of a bean factory, the following lifecycle methods apply: 1. DisposableBean's {@code destroy}2. a custom destroy-method definition

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext 和FileSystemXmlApplicationContext的区别

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext: 前缀是不需要的，默认就是指项目的classpath路径下面;如果要使用绝对路径，需要加上file:前缀表示这是绝对路径；

new ClassPathResource("appcontext.xml");

new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath:appcontext.xml");

对于FileSystemXmlApplicationContext: 默认表示的是两种：
1，没有盘符的是项目工作路径，即项目的根目录；
2，有盘符表示的是文件绝对路径。

new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext("src/appcontext.xml");

new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext("classpath:appcontext.xml");

("file:G:/java/Spring/Jar/workspace/appcontext.xml");

("G:/java/Spring/Jar/workspace/appcontext.xml");

public interface BeanFactory {

Used to dereference a {@link FactoryBean} instance and distinguish it from beans <i>created</i> by the FactoryBean. For example, if the bean named {@code myJndiObject} is a FactoryBean, getting {@code &myJndiObject} will return the factory, not the instance returned by the factory.
