This is the only interface in Spring's bean factory packages that encapsulates registration of bean definitions. The standard BeanFactory interfaces only cover access to a fully configured factory instance.
Spring's bean definition readers expect to work on an implementation of this interface. Known implementors within the Spring core are DefaultListableBeanFactory and GenericApplicationContext. @author Juergen Hoeller @since 26.11.2003 @see org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanDefinition @see AbstractBeanDefinition @see RootBeanDefinition @see ChildBeanDefinition @see DefaultListableBeanFactory @see org.springframework.context.support.GenericApplicationContext @see org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader @see PropertiesBeanDefinitionReader
