All Superinterfaces:

org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext, org.springframework.context.ApplicationEventPublisher, AutoCloseable, org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory, Closeable, org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext, org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean, org.springframework.core.env.EnvironmentCapable, org.springframework.beans.factory.HierarchicalBeanFactory, org.springframework.context.Lifecycle, org.springframework.beans.factory.ListableBeanFactory, org.springframework.context.MessageSource, org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader, org.springframework.core.io.support.ResourcePatternResolver

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext, FileSystemXmlApplicationContext, ResourceXmlApplicationContext, XmlWebApplicationContext

public interface SpringApplicationContext
extends org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext, org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean, org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader

SpringApplicationContext is an interface that defines the actual interface exposed by the application contexts provided by Spring. This interface should be in Spring and the Spring application contexts should implement this interface.

Method Detail

setDisplayName

void setDisplayName(String displayName)

Set a friendly name for this context. Typically done during initialization of concrete context implementations.

Parameters:

displayName - the display name for the context

getBeanFactoryPostProcessors

List getBeanFactoryPostProcessors()

Gets the list of BeanPostProcessors that will get applied to beans created with this factory.

Returns:

the list of BeanPostProcessors that will get applied to beans created with this factory

setClassLoader

void setClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader)

Specify the ClassLoader to load class path resources with, or null if using the thread context class loader on actual access (applying to the thread that does ClassPathResource calls).

The default is that ClassLoader access will happen via the thread context class loader on actual access (applying to the thread that does ClassPathResource calls).

Specified by:

setClassLoader in interface org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext

Parameters:

classLoader - the ClassLoader to load class path resources

getClassLoader

ClassLoader getClassLoader()

Return the ClassLoader to load class path resources with, or null if using the thread context class loader on actual access (applying to the thread that does ClassPathResource calls).

Will get passed to ClassPathResource's constructor for all ClassPathResource objects created by this resource loader.

Specified by:

getClassLoader in interface org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader

Returns:

the ClassLoader to load class path resources
